   Blues Licks You Can Use

Picture
Blues Licks You Can Use is in fact a companion to Blues You Can Use and More Blues You Can Use. It Contains 75 blues licks and phrases 5 different general styles. The first, Groovin' Easy, covers just that, easy guitar grooves. The lines are not technically too challenging. The next section delves into up-tempo, swinging blues, ala T-Bone Walker. The book then moves on to blues rock styles, and is filled with hot licks. The fourth section has the flashy stuff. Lots of fast and fancy licks there. Finally, Blues Licks veers into jazzy blues. As you move through the sections, the challenge increases.
All of the licks are explained both in where they come from (scales and chords and arpeggios) and where and how to use them. You learn who to make them fit in any tune.
As with the rest of the books in the Blues You Can Use series, you can start using what you learn right away. You'll see how to string smaller licks together to make bigger ones, and even whole solos.
You can work out of Blues Licks You Can Use while you are still finishing any of the other books, and get a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the blues.
As an added benefit, working through the licks will build your technique to levels necessary to copy your favorite blues guitarists.
