Hey everybody, what I just played is a long 251 lick in the key of CM. And these piece begins with some pickup notes. We’ve got a D to E to begin on beat four prior to the two chord and we’re going to do those seven, nine here on the G string. And so the next two beats, the first two beats of the two chord, we’ve got [demonstration]. So we’re doing 10, eight, nine, 10 or F, G, E, F [demonstration].

All right, next we have [demonstration]. So that’s just to climb up to Dm scale, seven, nine, 10, eight or D, E, F, G. So let’s practice that much. One, two, a one, two, three.

[Demonstration]

All right, now let’s move to the five chord and this lick is pretty cool because it features an altered dominant sound. We’re starting here on the B flat which is the sharp nine [demonstration]. So we’re going to play that for a quarter note and then we’ve got this neat little triplet deal here [demonstration].

All right, I typically, whenever I have triplet licks that go down the strings, I just sweep them because that’s once you get the lick going at a fast tempo that’s going to be pretty much doing whether you’re going to be able to play it in time, if you’re playing with the band, you’re playing at a fast tempo. So 11, nine, eight, nine. So let’s do that much. One, two, a one, two, three.

Then the last two notes of the lick are eight, 11 [demonstration].

All right, pause if you need to, practice it up and do the whole thing. So here’s the little thing. One, two, one, two, three.

[Demonstration]

All right, that’s the whole lick. That’s a 251 in CM and as I mentioned before, over the dominant chord where I’m implying like an altered dominant chord such as—I’ve got dominant seven, sharp five with a flat nine or a sharp nine as well. So have fun with that lick and transpose it to any key you want and use it in your favorite tunes when you’re playing a solo.
