12-bar Solo in A using Major Pentatonic Licks

March 4, 2009 | By admin In Blues Licks |

Hey Blues Fans!
Get ready to abuse those fingertips. Here is a 12-bar blues solo in the key of A that utilizes some nasty (but tasty) bends. These blues licks will definitely help build-up those callouses. This solo primarily uses licks from the A major pentatonic and E major pentatonic scales. You’ll hear hints of Albert King, Robin Trower, and BB King in these riffs. Below the video is the backing track that I used in the video. Once you master these licks, experiment and see what else you can come up with. Have fun.

    Great site. I really learn a lot and have a lot of fun.
    Can you tell me which lesson contained the earlier dixie dregs like riff please?
    There’s a R&B solo in “Place in Line” by Deep Purple which I love, any chance of teaching us a few things from that?
    Thanks again.

    Don’t cha jus’ love when the mighty ‘E’ scrunches off the neck? Very nice playing and easy to follow breakdowns…thanks for these post’s. I recently subscribed to another free bunch of lesson’s(remaining un-named) and quickly Un-subscribed when I heard some of the licks, tone and overall lack of taste…you have great touch and tone! Thanks man! I’ve already learned alot!

    Thank you again……..plus mp3 file….cant get much better ;)

    I was watching an interview with larry carlton, where he said, he always hung out with players better than himself and got “tips” on how to improve. I just want to say thats how I feel about your site.

    Keep up the good work.

    Thanks for the comment. My “production facilities” are limited at best, but I try to improve the quality each lesson, include more tab and backing tracks.
