Old Rock Licks

This free lesson by Peter Vogl will teach you a couple of old standard rock licks in A. In the video we will use the backing track "old rock in A", which is track 14 from the Let's Jam! Blues and Rock CD. Most of these ideas stem from the minor pentatonic scale.

Featured Product

Minor Triad Licks by Jody Worrell is a 23 minute video lesson for rock guitar. We'll apply what we learned in our lessons on Major Triad Licks to a series of Minor Triads. We'll learn several minor triad chords and then use those chords to solo by playing arpeggios, different voicings, single note lines, and double stops. We've also included a jam track so you can test out these new concepts. $4.99
