50 Blues Guitar Licks You MUST Know

In this course I draw from influences ranging from British royalty like Clapton, Page and Green to Texas bluesmen like SRV and the Reverend Billy G. Licks inspired by electric blues pioneers such as B.B., T Bone, Albert King and John Lee Hooker are also included. Of course, licks in the style of Robert Johnson are here along with plenty of Jimi-approved concepts. 50 Blues Licks goes well beyond the same old tired minor pentatonic moves as I cover sliding 6ths, chromatics, minor and major applications, diminished lines, overtones, killer double-stops, octaves, rakes, swing comping, swampy down-home licks, Delta-approved turnarounds, tasty comping ideas and how to use the blue’s built-in flat third to natural third ambiguity to create tension and dynamics in your playing.
