P1 - Lick 1

This lick is only 3 notes long

but uses a bend, a curl and so
is a great first word :) It's in
the style of the great Albert
King who was a real master of
string bending!

P1 - Lick 2
This is a real classic lick, most
used by the incredible Jimi
Hendrix, this will help you
learn to mute the string after
the bend because if you mess
that up it will sound awful!

P1 - Lick 3
This is probably one of the
most used licks in the Blues
vocabulary! It's used many
different ways by many
different artists, can be played
slow or fast, softly or
aggressively and I would say
it's a must learn if you want to
play the blues.

P1 - Lick 4
In this lick we have a bend
followed by the same note on
the next string which is helpful
for you getting your bend in
tune. It's another very
commonly used 'word' and
you'll find many variations of
it used by many artists.
P1 - Lick 5
The main feature of this lick is
the roll between strings 2 and
3 and the 'Blues Curl' on the
note C (F5:S3 - shorthand for
Fret 5, String 3) and it's
amazing how much getting a
good curl makes the lick
sound awesome - we'll be
looking at Curls in more detail
later in the module!
