Here is a cool Rockabilly style lick, using the diminished scale. The Diminished is scale is extremely power and versatile, and it is also symmetrical. This means that you can play ideas from the scale, and then just slide the idea around the fretboard using minor thirds (3 frets), and you’ll still be in Diminished Land. Super cool.

The Line 6 HD500 is a killer unit for almost any kind of guitar tone you can imagine. Here is a good video showing you 3 different amp models that sound great for Metal tones.

These are simple amp model patches – no FX or “tweaks” have been done. You can get Robert’s patches at http://line6.com/customtone/profile/dolphinstreet/

This Mixolydian guitar lick is an interesting one. It works great over static chords. The example here works over E7 or other E dominant chords. However, try also to play it over A major, since the notes of A major scale and E mixolydian have the same notes.

By the way, Joe Bonamassa often uses this type of run in his solos. Sounds great with distortion!

The Hendrix Chord is a great chord, but did you know there are actually two types of chords he used a lot? This lesson shows you both, where one is a 7#9 chord, and the other is a Major Triad grip, with the thumb playing the bass. This works for Minor chords as well. Have a look at this video to see how it’s done.

Here is a great lesson that shows you how to play Sweep Picking – and doesn’t sounds wicked cool? This lesson shows you how to play this insanely cool sounding lick, and it also incorporates Tapping. Tapping is the technique where you use the right hand to “tap” and often there is a pull-off involved as well. This lesson uses sweep picking for the first 4 notes, then it does tapping and pull-offs, hammer-ons and bends, to create this awesome sounding lick.

The backing track is from the Line 6 JM4 Looper – a great jamming buddy to have around. The JM4 is loaded with backing tracks and drums, and it’s a wonderful practice tool, as well as for coming up with song ideas.

Here’s a good lesson for practicing the E Minor Pentatonic scale in the first position, or Box 1, as it sometimes called.

The fast and cool riff demonstrated is really just two different patterns played quickly. This can give you ideas for how you can use the simple 5 note scale, and come up with nice sounding guitar licks and solos.

The Pentatonic Scale TAB is available on Dolphinstreet.
