Wow, that was pretty cool! I like the combination of styles very much.
Here's one for those of you who have been asking me for my signature licks! ude:
It's not a very simple lick this time. You can see from this video how I apply a lot of pull-off and hammer-ons; it's not alternative picking the whole way.
This idea is played over an E7 funk vamp. It's an "outside" lick, meaning there are a few notes that don't really relate to any particular scale. I think it sounds pretty cool. This lick is inspired by players like Robben Ford and Scott Henderson.
The lick kind of starts off with a rockabilly-style start, then goes into an outside jazz idea, which moves into a diminished triad, then ends with a blues phrase. How's that for a combination of styles?
How do you like it? Oh, and the buzzing are my Fuzz and Distortion pedals together - gain over the top, baby.

Thanks Rob... I'm actually pretty fond of the licks in the first post of your newest Strat, when it still had the rosewood neck on it.
It's great to be able to watch and listen to the cool riffs and learn from them.

Cool! Now if I can only learn it so I can play it half as good as you can.
Great! Can you post the link to that video? I can't remember which one was the first...Originally Posted by Algonquin

Cool lick but not easy for these old pentatonically-ingrained fingers!! Will take some serious practice to get up to full speed on that one, oh Shredmeister! :

Hehe, glad you like it though! When I play, I try to make use of all my knowledge in order to come up with something interesting. Of course, I often fail anyway... but I keep trying.
The lick is quite "non-standard". If you analyze it from a music theory perspective, you'll see the diminished scale, chromatic scale, blues scale, pentatonic scale.. etc. In other words, just play it and don't think too much!

I think I just found a new quote for my sig...
Seriously though, it's a challenging fun lick. I fiddled around with it for about 30 minutes this morning, and still can't play it with speed. I love to practice new and different things that force you to workout outside the box.Originally Posted by Robert
Ooops.. found it, but it wasn't the first DPS post, but it was a good one.Originally Posted by Robert

Oooh, oooh! Here's my opportunity to put in another plug for a lesson around the beautiful bit in that first 'my blue guitar' video, the John Hyatt tune. I just love the sound that you have there, Robert, and the way that you coax it out of the strings... I was just trying to wrestle with it again yesterday, without much success....Originally Posted by Algonquin
Thanks guys, I'll see what I can do. What lick from that video are interesting, Algonquin?
