Lick of the week no. 23 - String Skipping/Tapping

The 'Lick of the Week' string skipping/tapping lick is taken from Phil Braithwaite's 'Outside Lines' guitar lesson. This lick is inspired by guitarists such as Nuno Bettencourt and Tony Macalpine. The idea behind this lick is that it progressively becomes more 'out' as it goes on. The reason for this is that it is played in a cycle of fourths.

Lick of the week no. 20 - Kotzen Style Pentatonics

Hi everybody - I'm back with another legato/tapping lick, this time using A minor pentatonic. Although quite a 'vanilla' sounding scale, the idea is to create an interesting effect using the legato/tapping technique.

Hi everybody. This time we have something cool derived out of the position 2 in A blues scale. We're playing over a blues boogie in A, so this lick would fit perfectly in something like Joe Satriani's "Satch Boogie"

We've also included a teaser showing you exactly how to produce a professional quality recording. This will be live in a few short days, so make sure you come by and learn how to take your videos to the next level and join the Live4Guitar marketplace.
