Hello all. For the final video of 2019, I have a Nice Lick for you. This time it's not one of mine, it's a Cornell Dupree lick taken from the King Curtis track Memphis Soul Stew. The lick uses some funky double stops, and it ties in nicely with the video I did a few weeks back on 6ths taken from the mixolydian mode. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/p4HVgEHsQGU

Tab PDF and Guitar Pro files are attached below. I've included the extra bits that I improvise at the start but don't discuss in the video.

The backing is just a just a one chord loop E7. Use it to practice the lick; you could also try improvising some rhythm or lead ideas of your own - E minor pentatonic/blues/major pentatonic/mixolydian will all be good.

And that's about it for this year. I'm away next week so there will be no video, but I'll be back on the first Friday of the new year. I am going to be taking some time over the holidays to plan new videos for 2019, so please let me know if you have any thoughts or requests. 

Thanks to everybody here for their support this year. It really is massively appreciated and has made all the difference in my ability to keep making these videos. 

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and speak in 2020!

- Adrian

Another good un' Adrian.. I know the riff but your explanation of the theory and execution is very helpful. Happy Christmas mate and look forward to hearing more in 2020!

Chris Grimes

Love everything about this song. I could use a lesson on that killer bass line too!

Wow, that's amazing- thanks for sharing Martin. and yes Mama Don't is a great track - not heard it before - might be an idea for a future video.

Greetings from California Adrian. Hope you and yours are well and weathering the storm as best you can. Regarding the 'Nice Lick' series, are you panning to continue or have you set it aside for the time being? Really dig them and all the great content you share. Many thanks and stay healthy.

Hi Chris. Yes, it's been a while since I've done a nice lick, but I've not abandoned the series. It's just a question of me inventing or stumbling on something which would be appropriate for one of these videos. But I'm going to try and film another one two over the coming weeks. All the best, and you stay healthy too! Adrian.
