Another Spicy Bluesy Lick – Check the Picking
Filed Under (Uncategorized) by admin on 15-02-2010
Ok, so for the past year or so, I’ve been posting some cool licks
on my blog.
I am not saying these are like the shreddingist licks in the universe…
However – some of them are pretty hot, and the neat thing about
many of these licks is that you actually DONT need super chops
to play them, BECAUSE they are designed for efficiency and speed.
Pay attention to the hammer (H) , pull off (P) symbols as well
as the upstroke (looks like a v) and downstroke (looks like
an n)
This example starts on an upstroke (toward you, not the floor)
And notice it takes advantage of the hammer ons, pull offs,
and economy picking to create a fast lick that YOU can
actually play!
Even if you can play it slow, its good…
Try it!

Claude, I love your stuff and as soon as I can save the money I am going to order your blues discs. I am a potter and the economy is not great for us now, but it will get better. Thanks for all your info and blog information.
could you tell me what scale you used for this lick….. it would be much appreciated
A MINOR PENTATONIC STEVE… – CLAUDE
Thanks, you are a Big help.
Please if there is anyway possible, Change the sound of the Organ or whatever is making that sound for the notes to something that resembles a Guitar. Please
Thanks
you ARE the guitar god and thanks so Much for all the guidance and help ! ! !
What would this look like if it were a major blues scale? Do you have a link to that on your website?
I am just learning the E, G, A and D blues scales, not any minor or Pentatonic scales, yet.

Easy to read and pick at low speed, but me thinks the speed of 12o bpm is gonna take a bit of pickin’ time. Thanks, Claude. I’ve been adding some of your previous stuff as background fills and accents in some country stuff. Slick!!
Now I believe I understand the tab system. But getting my guitar to sound anything like what you played, that’s another thing.
This lick sounds like crap. No offense, but not one of your best picks. I think it sounds to Asian for me. Keep up the good work though.
I have been wanting to purchase your CD’s for over two years as soon as the economy gets back to me I will order I work for my self and it’s been hard to maintain it all.
