Pentatonics Lessons 51-55
Advanced Pentatonic Lesson 51
This is a short little lick based on the lasted few ideas.
But it’s all playing in the first position. It’s similar to many Blues Rock
guitarist, SRV, Page, etc…
Watch the second bend on the B string. It bends and then without the sound of it
releasing it moves back to the original unbent note, then proceeds through the
rest of the lick.
Again, move this lick along with the chord in your
progression. The only thing that changes is the positioning, as the fingering,
intervals from the chord root, and the phrasing all same the same.

Advanced Pentatonic Lesson 52
This is a very chromatic lick that is reminiscent of Steve
Morse, Johnny Hiland, Danny Gatton, etc....
It sounds very chicken pickin’ like, but crank up some volume and distortion
and let it fly. This is a super kick ass finger flyin’ frenzy lick. Actually
it’s based off a Randy Rhoads lick, although I can’t remember if it’s
Flying High Again or Crazy Train.
The example is played slow and increasingly is played faster and faster. I find
this lick easier to play starting on an up stroke on the open B string, then
used alternate picking throughout.
I also included the finger that I use for it. The numbering below the image
indicates what fingers to use where.
Have fun with this, it’s one of my favorites to pull
out during all the mindless wanking going on at
Guitar
Center

Advanced Pentatonic Lesson 53
This is another chicken pickin’ lick that sound good cranked
up with distortion. So don’t hold back.
It similar to a few Jimmy Page dabblings in country.
It shows you how to play it over both an A chord and a E chord. This lick is
also worth moving up the fretboard so there isn’t any open strings being used,
it gives new life to the “3 fingers per string” idea.
