Heya!

This is a rock blues pattern in A.

Sound

I used the neck Single Coil of the Ibanez AT100.
The amp is a Laney IRT SLS set on the crunch channel, with an overdrive and a booster in front of it.

Theory

The scale used for this lick is A Major Blues.

The trickiest part is to give rhythmical sense to the lick, in order to make it sound interesting. To achieve this, listen carefully to the timing, several times. Be sure to use the slowdown functionality! Then record yourself and try to replicate the same accents.
