- Synopsis:
This lesson is packed with time-tested licks that will help even beginners become strong lead guitarists. Every lick is played slowly, then at tempo so you can hear how it sounds in context. As the phrases get more complex, you'll use slides, bends, hammer-on's and pull-offs and other techniques to increase your speed and dexterity, finally putting several riffs together to create a complete blues solo. A discussion and demonstration of minor key jazz-blues phrases will round out your repertoire of riffs and will allow you to create hot solos or jam with your friends.
