Lockdown Licks no.222
“LL’s Mix n Match lick”
Played on a Stratocaster into a NUX M8 amp on clean setting with a touch of reverb.
Here I play a cool lick through twice, combining the C major pentatonic scale with the C blues scale. The first 8 notes are major scale with a bend into a longer vibrato note on the top E and the following notes are using the blues scale ending with a two string double stop riff on the B and G strings from 10th to 8th fret. It sounds as if I’m travelling around the neck when in fact I’m rooted between the 8th and 11th fret throughout using just two fingers. It would make a great intro or signature riff to build a song around for a blues in C. Give it a go!
