A system for creating rock & blues guitar licks

will work well over a C7 chord in bluesy context.

I will go over what scales are used in each rock guitar lick, but the main thing you
need to know is were the root is. In this case the root is C which is indicated in the
tablature for all of the blues licks.

Blues rock guitar lick #1 comes out of a combination of a C Major Pentatonic Scale
and a C Minor Pentatonic Scale. It starts with a half step reverse bend at the 10th
fret on the 1st string. Thats where you pre bend up a half step, and the release it
back down. After that is a pull o to the 8th fret.

Blues rock guitar lick #3 is exactly the same as lick #2. But you are going to play it
down 3 frets. Not changing keys, but just changing scales in the same key.
So the notes now come out of a C Major Pentatonic scale with an added b3. This is
the same ngering as the Blues Scale, but the notes take on a new character
against the C7 chord in this position.
So its just a C Major Pentatonic Scale, but with 1 note from a C Minor Pentatonic
Scale. What is known as a at 3, or the minor 3rd. Dont worry about all of the
music theory at the moment. Just know that is works over C7, and learn where the
root is in the guitar lick.
