Fast Rock Guitar Licks (You need To Know!)

Let's jump into the lesson!

0:25 Lick 1 - The Classic Rock Bending Lick

Everyone plays this first one, in fact it's one of the most common fast rock licks you'll hear. Watch out for the technique tips to learn how to control the bend and minimise unwanted notes and noises and discover the easiest way to pick the lick for fast execution.

2:43 Lick 2 - Stretch Legato Repeating Lick

This fast rock guitar lick shows you a great way to expand your pentatonic scale to reach some higher notes. Remember this...it's a handy tool for creating flashy licks which are easier to play than they sound!

4:40 Lick 3 - Rapid Fire Blues

This repeating blues scale lick is a killer and is an awesome lick to use in your solos. Learn how to pick it for maximum speed and discover how to use 'hammering from nowhere' to get it as fast as the great players.

6:50 Lick 4 - Blues Sequence Lick

This fast rock guitar lick is just a simple pattern or sequence you can find inside the D blues scale. It's a little similar to something Slash plays in 'Sweet Child 'O' Mine' and is easy to slip into your rock solos.

8:14 Lick 5 - Zakk Wylde Pentatonic Picking Lick

Here's a killer fast rock guitar lick in Zakk Wylde style. Listen to 'No More Tears' to hear him play something like this. This lick is also an awesome picking exercises and again shows you how to easily extend the pentatonic and blues scale patterns higher up the fretboard.

[LyKhanMD]

Pretty nice lesson dude... No 12 minute intro speaking about your first played note, no explaining about what part of the guitar is the neck and you didn't just sweep pick trough the whole neck with 400bpm and say it's just that easy. Thanks man.

[MrMetalclay]

Great lesson thanks for sharing! These are awesome sounding licks. Once I get them memorized I'll try the tricks and tips to build more speed.
