  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2014
  • This lesson teaches you 8 different G licks, and 4 licks each of C, D, and E minor. We then learn how to put them together over an "example" chord progression, but most importantly, I teach you how to apply them to songs YOU play in the key of G! The number one request I get from my students is to learn how to solo in different keys, which is why my "Bag O' Licks" lesson series are by far the most popular I've done. Don't forget to download the rhythm MP3 tracks to create your own solos from lick combinations!

    Thanks! Great lesson on how to get a lot of mileage out of a couple of simple licks. And since they are scale-based I can just transpose and use them in any key.

    Im mostly a metal guy but am into all kinds; cannibal corpse, depche mode, to Robert Johnson. I have dean, an Ibanez knock off and an Oscar Schmidt. I got a nice Savannah mandolin today, and your videos were the first I looked at for mandolin vids. Never imagined myself owning a mandolin. I really do like it! I'm very happy I didn't pass up the opportunity to own a mandolin.

      Hey Ben, I have a very good sounding Gibson open-backed tenor jr from the 20's. I love that thing. It's light, has one Gibson tension rod, 20 frets, and a "snakehead" headstock, which is cool. The tenor allows me to play movable chords I practice on mando, just a bit differently. The tenor stuff is lacking on TH-cam, there are just a few teachers. I recently found an old Elton mute for the Grover no-tip bridge, and it's like having both in one, a tenor guitar and a (less intense) trad. banjo.

    • @MFerg-xq7vs
      @MFerg-xq7vs 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Desiree Yanes Most people agree that alternate picking is the best way around a mando. It's just a good technique to be able to pick a series of single notes faster.

    I have gotten so much out of this lesson, the only thing that bothers me is when you say “now play a solo son” and then later “now son you can go to Nashville” I know it’s just a traditional ad lib but it doesn’t feel very inclusive to your audience who aren’t male.
