Lockdown Lick 294

Lockdown Lick

Lockdown Lick no. 294. “LLs Pickers Turn Blues.” Played on a Stratocaster into a NUX M8 amp set to clean with some chorus and reverb.

In the band, you’re happily playing your chord sequence, popping a picked arpeggio chord now and then even! Sounds Great! Only now, in the song, it’s “your” turn”! Yakes!! What to do?πŸ€”

πŸ’―πŸ’₯ Keep picking! throw in a few single note riffs of course but not too much!

Go to the blues “tool kit” πŸ₯πŸͺ•πŸ–ŒοΈπŸŽΈ….a few double stops, drone and open strings, picked pedal tone argeggio chords,parralel 4th & 6th on G & E strings, a trill, vibrato and a bend can be used to take a solo as a picking player and keep a full picking sound for the band.
