Hi, Brad here from Jam Play. Today, I’m going to be teaching another Blues Lick. You can also use this with pentatonic scale or the blues scale in key of A minor. Anyway let’s just start out with, I’ll take it 3rd finger and go down on the 7th fret on the 3rd string. Use your 1st, 2nd and 3rd to reinforce it and let’s bend up one whole step to this note and just bend it up and then hold it there. Try to mess that note, okay.
Now the next part of the Lick, you’re going to play the 3rd string on the 5th fret and then we’re going to play the 4th string, 7th fret. That 4th string on the 7th is an A note, so we’re going back to the A, so let’s start with the bend then 5th fret, 3rd string and right away to the 7th, so it sounds like this.
[Demonstration]
And you can add a little bit vibrato with the end of that if you like, makes the sound a little bit more interesting. Let’s do it one more time slow [Demonstration].
Okay, now, there’s a 2nd part—another way to play that lick in a different position in a different octave. Let’s go up to, go up to the 10th fret on the first string, and let’s bend that up one whole step to this note. Okay let’s do that, okay.
Now, we’ve got that done, let’s play the next part of it, 1st string, 8th fret and then 2nd string, 10th fret and it will sound like this, the whole thing.
[Demonstration]
Okay, now there’s another place that you can play that and that’s going to be down on the 15th fret on the 2nd string so let’s just find that. Let’s just count it up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, oops, here’s your 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, okay. That’s the same note there. Now what we’re going to is we’re going to bend up one whole step and then we’re going to play on the 2nd string, 13th fret, and then on the 14th, this one’s a little different. On the 14th fret of the 3rd string, let’s do this all together and one time slow.
