notes and tips

Key: G

 

 This is a real nice lick that uses another T-Bone trick of using the 9th (the second last note- A). The bending licks that T-Bone did like this were also very influential. Notice the long flow of the line, which is another T-Bone trademark. Watch out for the last two notes in the first bar, make sure you roll your third finger to get the note on the fourth string, don't lift it up.
Key: C This is just a great lick. It uses the min 3rd- Maj 3rd trick as well as some real nice bends and has a real flow to it. Make sure that you use your third finger for the bends, even though you would normally use your fourth finger for those notes in the scale. Never bend with your fourth finger and always try to use more than one finger to support the bend.
Key: G This is more T-Bone classic stuff. See how often he can play the min 3rd- Maj 3rd trick and make it sound different and cool every time. Try to do this yourself. Take a lick that you like and try to adapt it to fit any style and try to change it so it become a bit more personal to you. That is how the guitar develops, and how you will too!
