Guitar Lick - Alternate Picking Sextuplets

A sextuplet based alternate picking chromatic guitar lick with tab and video.

Guitar Lick - D Mixolydian Mode

A melodic rock guitar lick based around the D Mixolydian Mode. This lick is fairly basic so you should be able to follow the video and tab to get a handle on it. I'm tuned down a half step if you want to play along.

Rock Guitar Riff

A rock guitar riff based around the G Minor Pentatonic scale with video and tab example. Nothing fancy here just a cool little riff to try on guitar. Once you get the riff under your fingers try incorporating some improvisation using the G Minor Pentatonic scale between repetitions of the main riff. You can also try shifting this guitar riff to start on the open A string and moving the chords up just like you would a blues progression. So instead of A and C being the main chords you would use D and F as the chord you land on and move the lick at the 12th fret D to the 12th fret G note.

A Momentary Lapse of Reason

Just a quick shout out to let everyone know new guitar licks, tab and video will be back on track starting Monday. This week was a bit sporadic as I've been under the weather. I blame training for a marathon. For anyone who as enjoyed the guitar lick of the day site I'd encourage you to request styles, difficulty levels and genres. Coming up with new ideas is always better with some feedback from viewers. Until Monday have a great weekend and feel free to check out the preceding guitar licks in the blog archive.

E Minor Pentatonic Lick w/ uni vibe effect

A guitar lick based around the E Minor Pentatonic Scale. Used a Uni Vibe effect to recreate that swirling sound. This is pretty basic so you can probably follow along with the video and the tab but if there are any questions let me know. To play along I am tuned down a half step.

Guitar Lick - E Minor Pentatonic

A guitar lick based around the E Minor Pentatonic Lick. Used a Uni Vibe effect to recreate that swirling sound Hendrix made famous in the monumental song "Machine Gun".After the video demonstrates the lick as tabbed
there is a little improvisation using the same concept. Managed to break a
B string on the last bend which is a bit unusual as I was bending the E String at the time!

Neo Classical Rock Guitar Chord Progression

This is a rock guitar chord progression based around the key of F#Minor. It has kind
of a neoclassical feel. The legato section is inspired by the legato section starting off the solo in Relvelation (Mother Earth) where the late Randy Rhoads (RIP) does a schorching solo. If you don't own it get a copy of the live "Tribute" album. It is filled with a lifetimes worth of great passionate music to enjoy and study.
