I have tons of great lessons at Master Guitar Academy. Join me there - it's where you can learn with me every week. That's also where all my DVDs and Premium Downloads are.

This is a straight-forward jazz guitar lick over F7. The guitar lick is being played over the first 4 bars, and ends on bar 5, which in a jazz blues would be Bb7. I always recommend to my guitar students that they take parts of licks like this one and make it their own. Perhaps you like the first 5-10-notes the best - then steal them and create a new lick based on them, or change some things in it to make it more like you (timing, sound, rhythmic phrasing, etc).
The Guitar Pro 5 file has the chords used in the video backing track - for the instrument, I used an organ in Guitar Pro 5.
I highly recommend you buy Guitar Pro - it's the best software I have found for learning guitar. Many of my lessons 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).
If you have not yet tried the web site JamPlay, you need to check it out. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive. So much good material to learn from.
JamPlay has over 535 hours of lessons, and currently 45 different teachers. The lessons are from 15 minutes to 1 hour.
The lessons come with printable materials and supplemental content - TAB, chord charts, exercises and a lot more. Here is an overview of some of the things you can learn at JamPlay.
Go ahead and give it a try, it is free for 7 days so you have nothing to lose.

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.
Very Nice! Just got myself a semi acoustic guitar and this is great material!
