  • This over-used lick is in hundreds of guitar, rock, blues, country and other genres. Learn some ways to change your habits when playing guitar and soloing. By changing just one small habit, we can spark totally new and creative ideas quickly and easily. From guitar lessons in Vancouver teacher, Blue Morris.
    If you're like most guitar players, you probably play the same few licks over and over again. But there's so much more to the guitar than just those few licks! In this video, we'll show you some alternative guitar licks that you can try instead.
    Whether you're a beginner or intermediate level player, there are licks for you in this video! We'll teach you how to play these licks using simple and easy-to-follow instructions.

    Also, BTW, I've lived in the US South my whole life, and I'm kinda tired of the whole hot weather thing. I do know it gets hot sometimes up North, but it's not the 'only' thang, or even the 'main' thang. There's nice scenery everywhere but I wants ta see somethin' different.
    So, I'm saying I'm likely to come up that way for a visit. (I doubt we'll meet...unless you want to....)
    Just sayin'. Once again, stay sassy.
    Enjoy the beautiful Vancouver area.

    Just came from your other video on the barre C launch lick that you turned into a bunch of music, bought your "Guitar Soloing Like a Pro" book and now enjoying this. I like how you teach. Thank you. BTW, I bought a Larrivee at a pawn shop in Biloxi, MS during the Katrina hurricane recovery and I have enjoyed that guitar over any I've ever owned and actually named it Katrina. It's an OM-01 and is a powerful sounding sweetie for her size.

    Blue, I'm glad that I found your channel (glad you started it, lol). You have one or two (!) good ideas! (Like the one you teach here.)
    BTW, I got your soloing book, it has some good idears, too. (SIC on porpoise.)
    All in all, you're a good teacher. While I'm trying to learn theory as well, some of the stuff you say is overly-simplified, but for many ppl (esp ppl just starting out), that's good! I think most ppl want to start playing & sounding good as quickly as they can, right? So, that's a good thing, and that's actually why I got your book. (I can learn theory on my own time, lol.)
    Basically, I wanted to learn more cool sounding licks, and your book has a few. It isn't expensive, so that's fine.
    Anyway, keep up the good work, and I'll seeya 'roun' the channel.
    Stay sassy! 👍 👌

    Hi Blue Morris, your lessons are great brought back the interest into picking back up the guitar, stuck on the pentatonic scale, not making licks. On your Visio’s could do with more light on the guitar it’s dark, makes it hard to see where you fingers are on the strings!😩👍

    • @GuitarLessonsVancouver

I hope you won't mind me saying, but you have that whole Michael J. Fox thing going on so that just adds to your vibe Lol :) Maybe you could do the Johnny B. Goode solo from Back to the Future for us one day just for fun! All kidding aside.... you are really an awesome teacher and you really got me thinking about ordering your book. I wish you much success!

    another point to stress; It's called the "easy" shape b/c it was first, practiced incessantly, committed to memory, transitioned to muscle memory, all to the point of being on the tip of our fingers. Why not switch this same focus to the next shape, and the next, making each one flow with ease of the "easy" shape? After all, that first one started out strange, foreign, and cumbersome too, didn't it?

    Got my guitar in my hand and as the video started I said "it's obviously this lick" and played it in the A blues position/5th fret and sure enough you played the exact same lick. It is super cliched - but it fits well in the blues still, no?

      I dont know about that. Would depend on what level you are at. Most people who start lessons with me don't know how to do this, and very few know how to focus on the roots, rather than "muck about" as you say. Thanks for watching though!
