Trills and Pull Off Licks is a free video lesson by Peter Vogl that will show you how to play rock licks featuring trills and pull offs. The licks will come from the E Minor Pentatonic scale and the E Blues Scale. A trill is a series of hammer ons and pull offs played rapidly. For our first lick we'll be hammering on and pulling off from the third fret to the open B string. The second and third licks will show you additional ways to pulloff from from fretted notes to an open string. After teaching you the material Peter will demonstrate it over track 9, Raw Power, of the Let's Jam! Hard Rock. To learn more fast rock licks check out Peter's Van Halen Style Licks premium lesson.
