Stevie Ray Vaughan Type Licks I (#26)
- Page 3
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
This is a "Voodoo Child" like line. Still drawing from the blues scale, there are two really subtle 1-fret bends that really make the lick. In each case, we bend from the A up to the blue note (Bb) and in the latter case, r...(more)

Baby Please Don't Go (#28)
- Page 1
by Jim Burger (4587)
-
The plinking on the high strings doesn't sound so good in MIDI, but it sounds good on a guitar as long as you just strum up and down lightly. If you play this song solo acoustic, it's important to play the baseline with your...(more)

Here is an arrangement of "The Easy Winners" by Scott Joplin. There's an opening section to the tune which isn't included yet, but this is the main section. Most of the time you're going to be in 5th position, but you jump t...(more)

Easy Winners (#29)

by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
In the second section, for the first 8 measures, we keep gravitating between E7 and A. Mms 3-4 are pretty tricky, so work out the fingerings slowly and then build up your speed. The rest is pretty straightforward, with a ni...(more)

Bach's Bourree in B Minor (#30)
- Page 1
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
Here is the first section of J.S. Bach's Bourree in B Minor. The fingerings are a little tricky so as always, play it very slow to get it under your fingers, and then start to play it in tempo, gradually increasing your speed...(more)

Robben Ford Type Licks (#31)
- Page 1
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
The first time I heard Robben Ford was on some of the old Yellowjackets albums, and he's continued to amaze me ever since with his unique combination of blues, jazz, and rhythmic precision. In this first example, there's a n...(more)

Robben Ford Type Licks (#31)
- Page 2
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
At heart, I think Robben's primarily a bluesman, and it shows in the two runs shown below. In each case, a bend is used to launch the lick. The first case in mms. 1-2 uses a double stop before a descending pattern in the D ...(more)

Robben Ford Type Licks (#31)
- Page 3
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
One of the things I like best about Robben's playing is how he can use either blues of jazz licks in a V-I cadence. In this example, we continually move from the V (A7) to I (Dm7). In mms. 1-2, we use repeated quarter note ...(more)

Robben Ford Type Licks (#31)
- Page 4
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
Robben also makes use of interesting interval patterns in his playing, particularly 4ths. Here in measure 1, after the opening G, we play an ascending A, D, G on separate strings, and then play E, A, D again on separate stri...(more)

Using the C Dorian Scale and Cm7 Chord (#32)
- Page 1
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
The C dorian scale is a minor scale. It contains the same notes as the Bb major scale (often called Ionian), but you play from C to C instead of Bb to Bb. This means the notes: C, D, Eb, F, G, A, Bb. One of the characteris...(more)
