Hi Folks, it’s weekend!! Today I will treat you with a really cool easy open string blues lick in the key of E. You will love this one!
Easy Open String Blues Lick in the Key of E
What is an open string blues lick? An open string blues lick is a blues lick that uses a combination of fretted notes and open strings. Open string blues licks are widely used in blues and by blues guitar players. Stevie Ray Vaughan was a huge fan of open string licks.
See below for the blues licks tablature 🎶📋 and accompanying video guitar lesson 🎥📼
Don’t forget to share your feedback in the comments. I’d love to know who you are and how you’re doing. 💚
Enjoy!
Good stuff,
just learning guitar and love the blues keep up the great lessons
Hi Vernon,
You can step in with the blues at any level. Thanks for joining the club! 😄👍
Best,
Klaus
Great Lick Klaus! So I could slip in this riff after an A7 before moving back to the E7, and/or end the 12 bars with the riff?
Hi John,
Thanks for your question.
Absolutely, you could play this lick throughout the entire 12 bar blues progression. Of course it’s nicer to use parts of the lick along the way, breaking up the lick in bit and pieces and make smaller new ones, experiment with the lick throughout the progression.
Have fun!
Thank you Klaus. That was excellent. Sounds really cool
Look forward to more Weekend Licks!
Hi Stuart,
I’m making a video on beginner guitar chords today, but I promise you new guitar licks soon.😄👍
Great lesson Klaus & I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of these tasty lessons, especially these blues lessons. I do appreciate these tabs you provide as well.
Thanks again!
