Lick 2 is another bend oriented lick that I really like. A ¼ bend is just a very small bend that pushes the note slightly out of tune. Then, I come back up to the 10th fret, and then play the 8th fret where I do a ¼ bend. After that, I do a quick full bend and release off the same note, immediately followed by a pull off down to the 8th fret. While the note is bent, I give it just a little bit of vibrato. A full bend means I’m bending that note so it sounds like the note that’s 2 frets above it.
After that, I do a full bend off the highest note in the Albert King Box. I start off making a run up the Albert King Box segment of the blues scale. This lick starts with something I really like doing: making a quick run up the scale, followed by a long, dramatic bend. Lick 1įor each of these licks, I’ll show them in TAB form, as well as a quick video of me playing them at two speeds. So, lets dive in and have a look at the first lick. Here’s a diagram showing where the notes for this scale pattern are on the neck of the guitar (black circles=root note, boxes=blues note, white circles=minor pentatonic notes):

This is to give you some general ideas of how to actually use the blues scale when playing, and to add some licks to your ‘bag of tricks.’Īll of these licks will be using the extended box pattern of the A blues scale, which I covered in part 2 of this series. In this part, I’m going to go through a handful of blues licks. Part two covered the blues scale, it’s most common patterns on the neck of the guitar, and how to position it to fit the key of the progression you are playing over.
In part one, I went through the blues progression, common variations of it, and how to put it together in any key you want. This is the third part in my ‘Breaking Down the Blues’ series.
