Killer blues lick to start a solo

This lick is one I picked up from the amazing Kirk Fletcher. There is a lot of SRV in this one too.

The cool thing is that you can float over time with these types of licks. You don’t have play 8th notes in time. Instead, you play freely, “floating over time”, so to speak. It’s a fun way to play, and it works really well over slow tunes.

Give it a try, and share your recording on social media! Give it a hashtag of #startingabluessolo and post on twitter, instagram, facebook, etc.
