How to Mix Chords with Blues Guitar Licks

Hello friends,
In today’s lesson I'll be showing you how to achieve a more professional lead guitar style by mixing chord shapes into your blues licks. We'll begin by learning a few useful chord shapes in the key of C, before reviewing our major and minor pentatonic scales. Once you're familiar with these prerequisites, I'll break down a handful of my favorite licks. Let's get started!

My thumb absolutely will not reach around the neck like that. Not even close. Still gave a thumbs up. Pun intended.

Hey it's a non-reverb! I have a 73 and it's such an amazing amp! Do you know what this means? We can start a Non-reverb club now! Lol jk! I like to pair mine with a Strymon Flint for reverb and then use the amps trem.. I use a PRS Horsemeat for distortion if need be. No one ever seems to appreciate the Princeton NR so I'm super excited to see you have(maybe had since this video is 5 years old?) one!
