Wes Montgomery, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Scofield, George Benson - the list goes on when it comes to guitarists who have used this idea. There are several ways you can play this type of idea, but they all share having the root note on top throughout the lick. Change the rhythm a bit if you like, and make it groovy! We've all heard this style of lick before, and that's okay. This is a killer lick that you need to learn.
The scale used is the good old A Blues Scale.
I used a Line 6 POD HD500, a KOi Overdrive, and a Fender Strat.

Hi, no I just wanted a way to locate the lick when I'm searching for it. The number is the day of the month when I recorded it.
Comment added on April 18, 2014Great exposition of a classic lick you've heard before, but never figured out for yourself! Many thanks.
One thing I'm confused about - is this part of a series? It's lick 29; is there a lick 28, etc?
