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.

Let’s review the A Minor Pentatonic Scale.
Here’s an old riff that Chuck Berry can probably take credit for but has been used in almost every genre of music.
Here’s a variation on that same lick.
Here’s an even harder variation of that same lick.
Now here’s one more old rock and roll lick.
Now let’s hear what these licks sound like in context with track 14 of the Let's Jam! Blues and Rock CD.
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
