Ascending Arpeggio Slide (Arpeggio Lick)


INTRO:

This lick is an Arpeggio style lick that is picked more than “Swept”. It’s a “Slide” lick which means you will slide up the neck while keeping contact with the fret board. Take it note by note.. Don't worry about playing this fast at first. Just worry about playing it note for note in a smooth/precise fashion. The speed will come as you practice the lick. You don’t get ANY points for how fast you play it.



Here is the tablature. As always, start SLOW, don't worry about playing this fast. Just focus on playing it CLEAN Speed is a byproduct of precision. Just like previous quick licks, this lick works as a warmup, practice and solo lick. Don't over stress on getting it just right, or fast enough. This is just about learning the lick. Once you have it you can start it anywhere on the neck to play it in any key.

BACKGROUND / COMMENTS
This lick is not connected to a backing track. You can play it with a backing track if you like. Anything based in the key of A should work just fine. For our purposes here, just playing with a metronome or click track is more than fine smile.gif


BTW:
The slide is not easy at first so give yourself a moment to get used to it. Being able to slide will open up a new range of licks for your hand to be able to play.


WARM UP LICK:
Here are the first few notes of the lick to get you started. The tricky bit is using the third finger to bar over two strings.

It was close enough smile.gif I thought you were just adding your own bit of "BEN"ness to it to make it your own thing to be honest.If you guys miss a note here or there, it's not the end of the world as these are meant to be "QUICK" licks, E.G. Something you can learn very QUICK and put to good use right away. You got it man!!! Oh, and NICE IBBY!!

BINGO!!!! See!! It wasn't as hard as it looked was it? I mean sure, it's an Arp LIck with a slide in it, but as far as those go, this one isn't so bad smile.gif Also I like what you did with it when you sort of made it your own. That's what I like to see smile.gif Have FUN with these things!! They are meant to be picked up quickly and then played around with. This doesn't have the same approach as BOOTCAMP where we are always pushing for perfect execution and brisk pace. These are supposed to be fun, quick, licks that you can pick up and add to your bag of tricks and use in Solos, as warm ups, etc.

You have very good form here, more than I was even expecting! No string noise, good slide, very tight work. Now Id say you are getting the hang of what QUICK LICKS is all about smile.gif You are READY FOR QUICK LICKS 7!!!!!!! You can go back at any time, if you ever miss any of them, and pick them up later. For now, you just.....


LEVELED UP!!!!!!!!

Ok Todd,

Here is another go, I've added a bit of messing around with the lick, it's a bit "nursery rhyme" but I don't mind looking silly anymore smile.gif
The first cycle of the lick has a small error but the second is ok so I didn't edit it out to polish it wink.gif
