Trading Licks Episode 4 - Guitar Lesson - Question & Answer: Ascending & Descending Lines Yamaha Guitars 2023-02-02 | In this month's Trading Licks Episode, Robbie Calvo jams over a blues rock progression with a tonal center resolution point of C7. We’ll be using C9 arpeggios and the C Blues Scale to create our eight licks. Robbie also adds a healthy amount of chromatic tones to each of the melodic devices this month. Those chromatic tones help connect the chord tone resolution points, and add some rhythmic subdivisions to make the licks sound more complex than they really are.You’ll notice that Robbie plays the rhythm guitar part in the spaces left for you to play your melodic phrases. Take a moment to learn the rhythm guitar parts too. This will help understand why each of the phrases works so well over the progression.For the full lesson please read Robbie’s blog article here: yamahaguitardevelopment.com/2023/02/02/trading-licks-episode-4-question-answer-ascending-descending-linesGear usedYamaha Pacifica model:PAC612VIIFMhttp://yamaha.com/2/pacificaLine 6 Helix: line6.com/helix
