Blues Lead in A
(Listening is a highly underrated form of practice. Free download on SoundCloud.)
Just playing around with some licks in A. As always I use a 1,4,5 (blues rhythm) backbone so it sounds complete. I blatantly stole the first half of this from Jason Isbell’s Instagram page. The hammer to slide move at 0:12 is so cool. (Isbell’s lick, not mine.) 0:16 onward is yours truly.
Additionally, I’m using my fingers rather than a pick for a more touch responsive tone.
