Another interesting aspect of Eric's playing is the way he mixes triplets and sixteenth notes, often within the same measure or phrase. In this example, he shifts effortlessly between the two throughout the line. Although p...(more)

Eric Johnson-type Licks (#4)

Here's another example in E where there's accentuation on the F# (the 9th of the scale) and shifting in and out of triplets and 16th notes. I can really hear the shift if I slow it down using the tempo control at the bottom ...(more)

Blues & Jazz Licks on Pop (#7)

Blues & Jazz Licks on Pop (#7)

Time to use some chromatic licks in addition to our blues scale notes. In this case, we still use the same "box" pattern of our C Blues scale, but we also add some strategically placed passing notes in between. Note how, wh...(more)

In this lesson, we'll look at eight different permutations of the same scale pattern idea. The main scale we'll use is an A blues scale without the blue note so: A · C · D · E · G. This is one of the most basic scale forms ...(more)

Now, we'll do the same thing as page 1, but we'll use an ascending pattern instead. We find our low A, and play 4 ascending notes. Then we find our next highest note from the low A, which a C and we play four ascending note...(more)
