Description

This is a nice lick, and it starts out with a useful little trick in the form of a D chord. It's not in the same position, but the form is used here. I use this form while playing rhythm, and it's a great way to start out a lead too.


This is actually the first lick in a song I wrote a while back, and this is both parts played together. The song is actually a twin guitar thing, with a little swing to it.


You can split these licks up, or use them all together. The double stop positions are also very useful, and can be used in other keys as well. Just move it up, or back, and don't be afraid to see where else you can use this.


I'm using a flat pick, and my middle, and ring fingers to play the double stops. I am palm muting some of the strings I play with the pick, and also using my fretboard hand to block some strings. I call these ghost notes in the video, and mention when I'm using my palm to mute the strings.
