Lick Information
This is a descending lick for ending solos, or for turnarounds. The lick has one sharp bend, and it involves cool crossing patterns in the minor pentatonic box 1.
Sound settings
I used Amplitube 3 software for this mini lick with compressor and Vox AC30 emulations, reverb is Altiverb 6 spring reverb.
The guitar is a Fender Stratocaster, neck single pickup.
Scales and Theory
For this lick the focus is on the minor pentatonic scale, but with added dorian and blues scale notes. Works well over I-IV-V progression.
