Blues lick 11 Key:E minor pentatonic Technique: - Beat Suvbdivision: - Comments: This lick is yet another illustration of how the pentatonic scale can be "manipulated" to sound more fresh. The first pattern in the lick could be described as "ascending backwards", eventually resolving into a rhythmic and descending pattern, ending on a pre-bend (notated as "pb" in the tab, see Glossary for explanations). In other words we are doing everything we can to avoid predictability. The practice beat for this lick can be found in the "free backing tracks" section. pb= pre-bend (see "Glossary" in "Hint 'n tricks" section) e|-------------------------12----15----17-17p12----12-12------------------------------------------| b|-------------12----15-------12----15----------15-------15p12----12-12---------------------------| g|----------------12----14-------------------------------------14-------14p12----12-11-pb11-------| d|-14-14-12-14----------------------------------------------------------------14------------12----| a|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------14-| e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Copyright © 2005 Freelicks.net
