Ok. So let's look at that lick one more time.
Ok. This is a real traditional lick and really helps define the four chord.
That doesn't mean it wouldn't work over E. If I was playing E…
It can work over that particular chord but it's much better over A where it helps define that chord change.
Ok. Now the next lick we're going to do is what I call the A seventh dyad sequence.
Ok. So what we're going to do is, we're going to play an A seventh chord down here at the bottom of the fret board on the second fret.
We're going to be fretting the fourth string and the second string on the second fret.
Now you may do this with your index and second fingers or second and third fingers
and that depends on the size of your fingers and the width of your neck on the guitar.
So let's just, let's try this where we are going to pick fourth, second and fourth again.
This is 12/8 time, a triplet so one, two, three.
Ok. Now we're going to come up to the third and fourth frets of the second and fourth strings, respectively.
Ok. Now we're going to be on the fifth fret on both the second and fourth strings and back down to the last lick or the third and fourth frets.
So that gives us four figures.
So now as you can see we have four of these triplets and they fit perfectly over one, two, three, four beats.
Now the thing about this is you can probably notice,
this lick can stand on it's own like if you're playing by yourself, this lick can actually hold up on it's own.
This isn't the kind of lick where you just go… Where there's no real rhythm to it.
This has got a…
You can actually feel the shuffle rhythm in this lick and that's one of the reasons why I like this.
This is one of those licks that you can play on it's own and on your own without any accompaniment and make the music full all by yourself.
So, again, you know, we had two licks in this lesson.
The Lightning's four chord lick. And the A seventh dyad sequence lick.
And these are two great licks in A.
