In case you missed it ...

This is lick number 4 in the style of Buddy Guy.

So kicking off with a little lick in the A minor pentatonic position. Bending up our third finger on the G string ... flattening our first finger over the B and the E string ... and I kind of sweep in that with my plectrum ... on my right hand.

...

Once I finish those three notes ... I'm moving up to my C Major pentatonic, so I'm up on the 10th fret on the E string ... a bit of a quick change of position there ... and I'm bending up that D note ... and going to my C on the 8th ... finishing with my third finger on the B string 10th fret ...

So repeat those two notes, the C note and the A note ... and I'm going to finish on that 10th fret with a quick bend ...

Let's get an A Blues track happening and trade off on the lick.

... away you go

There's another short lick from Buddy. Take your time with it. Have a little fun.Try it on different keys, and I'll catch you next time.
