Description

Hey everybody.This is chucklivesoninmyheart from the forums.Ive been fiddling with this lick for a few months now.Kinda bluesy,so its here in the blues section.

The speed of the sound sample is at medium pace.If you forgo alternate picking,you can get it to be a blur with hammer on's and pull off's.

I will put a W before the notes that are swept.The rest is just standard tab.Both bends are full bends(a whole step,or 2 semi-tones up).The last note is a \"pinch\" or artificial harmonic(A.H)made by striking the note so that the tip or edge of your thumb hits the note right after the pick does.

Take it slow,get it down and then work up to higher speeds.Next time your playing the blues,toss in some sweeps and add some spice!

enjoy.
