Learning blues rock licks
Whether its a classic 70′s album or a piece of modern metal chaos, believe it or not, but most styles of music are the same in the sense that they tend to share the same scales and or musical ideas. The pentatonic scales, both major and minor, are the very essence of blues and rock music and when you put them together, guess what you get? that’s right, blues rock licks.
These two scales are extremely common and easy to play as they both use a very similar box shape, and to anyone who is a little new at guitar playing I would suggest make the pentatonic scales some of the first patterns that you learn.
From here is a matter of paying attention to the small things. For instance, listen to any classic rock album and after a while you will here the pentatonic scales coming through loud and clear, but really pay attention to what is going on. Are they bending a note? sliding up or down to a note? or perhaps they are doing a combination of things.
If you want to create some sweet sounding blues rock licks, you really need to study what can make them original and awesome sounding. Learning some pre-established guitar licks can help you get ideas for figuring out other ones later on down the road or for comng up with your own.
There are plenty of resources on line for learning just blues or blues rocks licks in a guitar course. This is no doubt the fastest way to learn and master guitar, and will take any
player’s expression and knowledge to its fullest to learn guitar.
