CCHORD STUDY

“The Roots of Rock” consists mostly of chords played one note at a time This is called arpeggio style. Hold each chord down for a full measure Do not finger each note separately

Glide Picking: Instead of alternate picking, allow the pick to glide from string to string as shown (all downstrokes) For guitar parts like this, glide picking is easier and sounds smoother than alternate picking

Rock Workshop 104 The One-Grip Blues Lick

As we discussed earlier, improvising is the spontaneous reorganization of what you already know into new, unplanned variations The key is to have lots of patterns at your disposal

THE ONE-GRIP BLUES PATTERNThis is an example of a classic blues lick It uses just one two-finger chord grip (left-hand fingering) for each of the three chords in a blues progression in A

• For D7, the grip is at the 1st fret

• For A7, it is at the 2nd fret

• For the E7, slide the grip up to the 3rd fret

Play with a strong rhythm using all downstrokes as indicated

Now let’s run the lick through an entire 12-bar blues in A

Track 73

We’ve already worked on some classic rhythm riffs A lick is a pre-learned pattern that you can use as you improvise a guitar solo, inserting it wherever it seems appropriate The following blues lick can be played over a blues progression in the key of A (like the one we’ve been working on)
