Basic Techniques, pt.3 –Simple Licks Using Single String Slides

Back in July I started to discuss techniques the beginning guitarist can employ when soloing and playing rhythm. Last month I tackled single string slides and how they are executed.

This month I am posting several simple licks which employ slides the beginning player can use in their arsenal. It is a good idea for these to be used as a starting point and for the player to create several licks of their own that use bends. This way the developing player has a stockpile of licks of their own as well incorporate ideas they borrow from others. These licks utilize the A minor pentatonic pattern which was discussed in a previous post.
