Augmented chord lick
Hey blues fans,
In the last lesson, I showed you how to end the 12-bar blues on an augmented chord, similar to the Allman Bros version of Stormy Monday. Here is a lick that plays off that augmented chord. I broke the lick down in three parts: Part 1 is an arpeggio of the augmented chord; part 2 is the main lick; and part 3 is an arpeggiated A7 chord, ala Jimi Hendrix.
Note: Though it is not tabbed, there is a rake that leads into the main lick. You achieve this by laying your third finger over the 7th fret to deaden the sound. Rake across the strings and lift your finger before playing the A note on the high E, fifth fret.
You can use this lick as and ending or in an intro.
As always, have fun.

Regarding the tone, I’m using a Jimi Hendrix setting in Guitar Rig 3. I have a Line6 UX1 interface. I run a line from the UX1 headphone jack to the line-in on the laptop and record the guitar with Cool Edit (pretty much the same as Adobe Audition). The video and my voice are recorded on a separate laptop and everything is brought together in Adobe Premiere. I used to use an amp an record everything with the video camera mic.
