I'll be teaching you essential blues licks in this guitar lesson, that will expand your soloing vocabulary and give your playing that authentic blues feel. We’ll break down licks in the D minor pentatonic scale, with bends, slides, and double-stop techniques that are perfect for both blues and rock guitar. These licks aren’t just exercises—they’re building blocks to help you improvise and express yourself on the guitar. For more help mastering the blues, be sure to grab my free Essential Guitar Licks course at my website and try these licks out yourself!
