Slowing down songs is another great way to learn from records and your song collection. I use Song Surgeon, which works really well for this. Check it out.

Guitar Lesson Overview

Joe Bonamassa is a blues rock titan, whose guitar playing is always inspiring. He has great technique, both alternate picking and legato style. Here is a Bonamassa-inspired lick, that uses more legato style playing than alternate picking. With practice, you will be able to play this fast, but start out slow and methodically. It is important you play it clean and without extra string noise, or it will not sound good at all. Joe has a very clean technique, and he always plays super hip notes when he's playing fast guitar riffs and licks. Enjoy!

For the tone, I used a Hell Zerodot from Hell Guitars and a Line 6 POD HD300.

Great lesson, as usual, Robert!

Great lick! Very well explained...but...I believe your slow examples that start at 1:45 and 2:10 have 4 less notes than your examples that start at 2:23 and 2:30.
