Guitar Lesson Overview
Here's one of my signature licks. I guess the style is a bit like Robben Ford meets Scott Henderson meets Robert Renman? You can see in this video how I apply a lot of pull-off and hammer-ons; it's not alternate picking the whole way.
In this example, the is played over an E9 funk vamp. It's an "outside" lick, meaning there are a few notes that don't really relate to any particular scale. I think it sounds pretty cool.
The lick kind of starts off with a rockabilly-style start, then goes into an outside jazz idea, which moves into a diminished triad, then ends with a blues phrase. How's that for a combination of styles?
Guitar Pro
- Download the Fusion blues lick Guitar Pro file
Download Guitar Pro
I highly recommend you buy Guitar Pro - it's the best software I have found for learning guitar tabs. All my lessons will from now on come with Guitar Pro files. You can download a trial version on the Guitar Pro website to see if you like it (I think you will).
Guitar Theory Made Simple!
Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.

Guitar Pro
I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.
Video Clips
I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.
Comments on this video lesson:
Thinaks Adam, great to hear!
I will see what I can do.
This is an absolutely beautiful lick. Please post more of your signature licks! I love your SRV, Albert and B.B. King licks as well but you have a great individual style and phrasing and it would be nice to hear even more of that. I ran across this site about a week ago and have had difficulty leaving it. Your work is greatly appreciated!
