Lockdown Lick 163

Lockdown Lick

Lockdown Licks no. 163. “LL Call & Response heavy blues.”

6 riffs based around an E minor pentatonic lick, one includes a sliding riff on the ‘Hendrix’ chord Em7/fl9πŸ˜‚. Played on a Telecaster on mid pick up through a NUX M8 amp set to ‘superlead’.

Players such as Hendrix, Santana, BFG, Beck and others would play heavily overdriven Marshall amps on ‘call and response’ style blues riffs. They paved the way, influencing the heavy rock in the following decades.
