Lockdown Licks no. 230. “Pretty Little Lie” by Blackberry Smoke.
Lead solo in style of album version. Played on a Telecaster into a NUX M8 amp set to ‘superlead’ with gain dialled back to 4. Singer and guitarist Charlie Starr plays a short,sweet vintage country rock solo with some cool bends,pedal tones,double stop runs and good old fashioned heart & soul!
