    Sweet Robert, I know what I'll be doing this evening.

    Nice clean tone as well. That viking has a nice sound. Which of your stable of amps are you using? And did I hear a bit of reverb as well? Amp or pedal?

    Thanks! I used the Marshall Class5 and the Strymon blueSky Reverberator, just because it was already plugged in and readily available...

    Very tasty lick. I'm looking for to trying it out. Just from a tech point of view - is the first lick out of the E min blues scale, while the second lick is E maj?

    I like to try and visualize the theory behind this.

    Cheers

    The first one is E blues scale/minor pentatonic (depending on if you play b5 note or not). The second lick uses the E Dorian mode, if you bend that F# note a half step). However, if you bend that note all the way to the major 3rd (the note G#), then you can say you are playing notes from the E major scale or E major pentatonic. What's makes this lick sound a bit different really, is that is uses the major 6th and the major 2nd (C# and F#). Those are the important notes, so to speak.
