    Default New lesson up today! Swinging Blues Lick

    This is a type of lick I often play. Made up a lesson for it last night. Uploaded it as an HD video, so it should at least look decent once processing is completed.

    How do you like this one?

    Great lesson as usual Robert. I like that you say what string/fret you are playing. Many instructional vids are not that explicit.

    Well done Robert! Good explanation, accurate playing and the most important...a lick that one can use!

    robert, great lick and it helps and it helps me learning to play "up the neck" a little bit. I especially liked the explanation of fret and string as piebaldpython said, most videos don't do that.

    Well I'll complement the video quality of the lesson Since no one else has

    You should get a job doing Lick Library lessons, at least your vids look pro and you don't make mistakes. Keep up the good work.
