    Really great choice of licks for a beginner here. They can easily be modified as your skill level goes up. They work really well as a base to improvise from. If someone learns this 7 licks and really practices them until they are imprinted on them, they can take these licks and do so much with them as they improve. Again, really great choice here to teach people and give them the foundation to improve from.
