hey guys, here's the thread with the daily licks, please ask if you have any questions at all. Cheers:
guitar pro files are attached to the end of the post

Saturday Lick:

In this first lick we are using D minor pentatonic box 1 with blue note added in the second part (hammer one with the pinky finger).

Sunday Lick:

In this second lick, we are continuing where we left from the previous lick, using the same hammer on on the blue note (slightly different fingering), and going to box 2 of the D minor pentatonic.

Monday Lick:

This lick is on the E minor pentatonic scale, first we go over the E7 arpeggio and then bending and vibrating.

Tuesday Lick:

here we have a small lick in F# minor pentatonic, using ghosted slide notes, and one double stop bend on high E and B


Wednesday Lick:

Here we have a C# minor pentatonic lick, with a cool index finger whole step bend.

Thursday Lick:

Here's one nice B minor pentatonic lick, using boxes 2 & 3

Friday Lick:

Here's one simple A major pentatonic/A minor pentatonic crossover

Saturday Lick:

By using A D E blues progression, we develop a rhythmic riff suitable for bluesy comping

grabbing my guitar..

Yeah, I kind focused on simple and fast-to-learn licks, but if there is a need for some more complicated licks, I can put it as well

Nice first lick Ivan ... I'll remember this one for sure.

Posted by: -Zion- Apr 18 2009, 08:19 PM

it's just perfect.. no need to stress you out.. you already have a lot to tend to this week..

Posted by: vampire18 Apr 18 2009, 11:04 PM

nice one, but i think i know the first few notes from somewhere, isnt the start of the nothing else matters solo?

Cool lick Ivan! These licks are "must know" ones!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Apr 18 2009, 11:37 PM

This will be a great little series of Lessons Ivan!!!!

Awesome, thanks!

Possibly? I didn't know about those similarities. Kirk uses a lot of blues licks, perhaps he used something similar.


Sure!


I hope so


Anytime!

it happens to me a lot. i improv on a scale and some lick sounds good than i find out it sounds good because i know it from a song. its so annoying.

Posted by: berko Apr 19 2009, 08:24 AM

Ok Ivan, this thread is now bookmarked for me!

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 19 2009, 01:47 PM

Doesn't have to be annoying, we all use licks that were played long time ago. We breathe new life into them by using them, and combining them in new ways, and this is how music evolved. So, if it sounds good, it probably is good


Awesome! Glad to hear! Another lick coming up tonight!

Posted by: sted Apr 19 2009, 03:04 PM

lovin' it!

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 19 2009, 10:02 PM

great licks and great idea, this week is so awesome

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 19 2009, 10:24 PM

Thanks man!

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Apr 20 2009, 01:27 AM

This is really cool Ivan.

I think we should have at least 1 rhythm and 1 complicated lick.

Just a suggestion

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 20 2009, 01:43 AM

Ok man, will do, thanks for the suggestion

Posted by: -Zion- Apr 20 2009, 08:04 PM

hey Ivan..

i just LOOOOOVEEE this blues week.. its soo much fun just to play the blues.. awesome.. it really gets the mood up..

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 20 2009, 10:17 PM

Another lick added!

Posted by: GrannyKiller Apr 22 2009, 01:01 PM

great stuff Ivan, keep it coming
it's nice to see you got your instructor's week! definitively deserved, I'd say

these are really useful licks! the first one is a true classic...I must have heard it and played it a million times by now.
(yeah, Kirk Hammett also played it more than a couple of times )

gonna practice the third lick now


btw, some more blues rhythm lessons would be awfully nice. sadly, there's very few of them on GMC, despite the enormous total amount of lessons.

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 22 2009, 10:07 PM

Thanks a lot man!

New licks added just now!

I know, there are small number of blues rhythm lessons, I'll see if I can do more of them in the future.

cheers!
