  • Did you know you can recycle all your licks simply by playing them in the open position? Not only will this give your leads a unique flavor - but it also opens up opportunities for new sounds & ideas.

    In this example solo we'll cover what you need to know to play open string licks, unison licks, call & response licks - and dissonant licks in the open position.

    I'd be lying if I didn't say that right now open string licks are what excites me the most!
