chris2four7: dude sick lick iv'e been trying to figure out how to work with lick's specially blues
Thanks for the compliment. If There is anything I can help with, let me know.
For blues, and most rock based stuff start with the main pentatonic scale patterens. Make sure you take the time to find some good notes in the patterns to bend. I personally have a hard time making anything musical out of the basic "box" pentatonic pattern if it is played straight. I find the intervals to be a bit wide and tend to fill them in with additional notes from major and minor scales. You can get away with quite a bit if you phrase it right and resolve a passage on a good note.

What is good about this is that it is mostly slow, so you can really hear the notes and phrasing.
Of course you have to go back to SRV and Clapton among all the other icons too! I can give you a lot more to work with, if you want. If you like the Rik Emmett song, I could show you some of it to get you started.Glad you like the vid,
