This is a shred blues lick for advanced players.
Its a decending scale run.
Most of youtube videos when searching for fast blues licks, aren't that fast and so I created this tab
to help you achive faster blues playing.
Similar to John Mayer and SRV when at their fastest.
DISCLAMER: This is for advanced guitar players and advanced tab readers!
Step 1:
Learn this repeating lick first, it will help alot.
Learn to play it over and over again.
We can call it "lick one":
e|-12h15p12--12-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------15--15-12-12h15--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Step 2:
Learn this lick.
We can call it "lick two".:
e|-12h15p12--12-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------15--15-12--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------15-12-12h15---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Step 3:
Play lick one on the B and G string instead of the e and B string.
And play lick two on the B, G and D string instead of the e, B and G string.
Step 4:
Play lick one on the G and D string intead of the B and G string and lick two on the G, D and A string
insted of the B, G and D string etc...
The whole lick looks like this:
e|-12h15p12--12-----------12h15p12--12---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------15--15-12-12h15--------15--15-12-----------12h15p12--12-----------12h15p12--12------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------15-12-12h15--------15--15-12-12h15--------15--15-12-------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------15-12-12h15-|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G| -12h15p12--12-----------12h15p12--12--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D| ---------15--15-12-12h15--------15--15-12-----------12h15p12--12----------------------------------------|
