5 Blues Licks from Pattern 1

I think for your needs, that backing track is not going to work. Yes, it has a drum beat (1 2 & 3 4 with an occasional drum fill) but no other rhythm. The chord just rolls on and on and on giving no other rhythmic information.
There are loads of interesting backing tracks. In my view, that is not one.

How about this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1iVA8Pm3Yc If this is not OK can you suggest any at 60bpm?

I reminded of a Buddy Holly song at this point. :slight_smile:

Well… alright :smiley:

In the Lick Tabs, the bends are shown as either “full” or “1/4”, for a tone or semi-tone, respectively. Why is it a 1/4 for a semi-tone? Or have I misunderstood something?

Hi Jon, @RiversideAce
Welcome here and I wish you a lot of fun :sunglasses:

And what, I read in the accompanying text, but also what is said in the lesson, it says that Justin always talks about a “Blues curl” when the 1/4 comes in …

A semi tone should be 1/2 … Are you by any chance mixing these up?

Hope this helps, :smiley:

Thanks for the super-quick reply, Roger.

Ah, that makes sense. So the 1/4 bends are not full semi-tones. That’s what I hadn’t picked up on.

Much appreciated :smile:
