notes and tips

 

Key: C

 Try to let the notes ring together a bit to make this sound right. It is a really nice trick and uses the notes from a C7 chord (first three notes) and then a C13 (second three notes). This can be used as a lead line in a solo or as a rhythm guitar part. Experiment with it yourself. The fingering (in note order) is 2, 4, 1 then 3, 1, 4.
Key: G This one uses the Mixolydian Mode quite predominantly, but of course the min 3rd- Maj 3rd thing is present. This is more in the style of T-Bones later playing when the lines got longer and flowed even more than they had initially. Make sure you get the tempo even and practice it slowly and build up the tempo over time.
Key: C This lick is quite simple technically, but can be pretty hard to get sounding "just right". It is a good example of how even a very simple pentatonic lick can sound wicked. Experiment with this idea yourself and try to make up some of your own pentatonic repeating licks. Usually you start and end on different notes to the ones that you are repeating, just because it sounds better!
