QUICK LICKS #11 (Open String Scale Work) INTRO: This time we are going to do a chunk from my recent collaboration with our own CAEL (Ben). Using a backing that may already be familiar to you if you have searched youtube for backing tracks. It's got a very retro 80's Vibe with heavy synth and it's wads of fun to Solo over. It's in the key of E Minor so we are going to use a minor pattern on the open B string as B is a Fifth in E Minor. Here is the tablature. You can pick this any way that you like. Try to pick each note and palm mute all the strings including the one we are working on in order to give the lick a percussive vibe. You can play this lick very slowly with the the backing and it will still sound cool. You don't have to shred it. 11.gp5 ( 1.77K ) Number of downloads: 101 BACKGROUND / COMMENTS This is one of my fave licks. It works well with nearly anything. It's also a great drill for working up precision/speed with a metronome. In addition, try this lick on other strings when you run it as a drill. *Here is the Backing Track for you to download 11backing.mp3 ( 7.62MB ) Number of downloads: 122 BTW: This is just a starting point, feel free to add your own flourish during your vid. Add any techniques you lick on top of this to make it your own ! GIVE EM HELL! Todd This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jan 21 2018, 05:21 AM |

Hello Todd,
Here is my take, I did a couple of loops and noticed on playback that I got the sequence wrong in the second one but the notes are there, also after the first two loops, I had a bit of a play and left that on the video too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF8pv_rk8nw -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Nailed it right out of the Gate! Nicely done. You have a very good command of what this lick is all about. Try it on every open string on the instrument as a drill. Also, try it in a solo context as soon as possible so that you get used to playing it against a backing. The backing track provided is a good place to start, but any backing will work in E minor for this particular lick. In this case, the B string is a perfect Fifth of E Minor so even though we don't resolve to the root, it still works. This is one of the few licks we have ever done that does not resolve to the root. Give it a whirl!
As for this Quick Licks, you KRUSHED it! in other words you just... LEVELED UP!!!!

It's not fast or flash and I went too high up the neck and ran out of frets (Strat 21 frets) so had to play an Ab instead of an A because I panicked and didn't know what else to do I don't know why but it felt right to come in so that the fretted note was on the beat (if I'm analyzing it correctly)

Nice!! You have a very good handle on this lick. I also like the improved bits you added on! This is exactly what I'm hoping you guys do with these licks. Learn them quick and then put them to good use in a solo context of some sort. They make great drills to for playing with a metronome or midi drums. Each one works on specific skills. You've got good muting and synch on this one. I wish I could see you playing but you already did a vid so audio is fine

Thanks Todd but I can't level up. I've already levelled up with this one with my video post of just the lick, see higher up.
Glad you liked it. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in instalments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success.” Israelmore Ayivor |
