Quick Licks 1
Welcome to the Quick Licks series! These lessons are meant to give you some really fun and exciting licks to play and jam on so you can expand your lick repertoire.
While we do these over one particular jam track in the video, the big idea is to try them over different jam track, different key signatures and make them your own!
If you have any questions, comments or ideas of your own to add to what we’ve put together, we encourage you to use the comment section and get in touch. Have Fun!
Here’s Quick Lick #1
Backing Track
B Minor Bluesy Rock Groove
B Minor Bluesy Rock Groove ▶ custom player
This fun uptempo groove is great for just about any kind of soloing. Use the minor pentatonic scale starting at the 7th fret.

I am a beginner from scratch and I am learning chords. I don’t even know how to play bminor, I need help. Thanks I never played a guitar in my life, I only know how to fingerpick.

Hey Steve, Thanks for the question.. If you’re brand new to guitar I would recommend checking out RockGuitarPower.com, which is another online guitar learning site that we run. Here’s a link to sign up for a free 7 day trial: https://www.rockguitarpower.com/skilllevel/start-2/
I would recommend starting out with the Volume 1 course, which was created for straight beginners. The lessons and programs on Super Guitar Licks are a little more technical and focus mostly on lead guitar playing and soloing.
Check out RGP and let us know if you have any questions about it

Hi Mike, love the lesson. Great series for adding more tools to the tool box. Sometimes it’s helpful to go a bit slower on the breakdown of the finger positions thru out the lessons. Your guitar teacher does a great job of that on his videos. I did not have any trouble with getting a lot out of this lesson but for newer players it can help by breaking down the lick a bit slower. Hope that helps.
Thanks again Mike.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback Frank. I’ll make it a point to do that in future videos

thanks for the lesson Mike… but … you said? “we’re in the key of B minor, but what we’re acutally doing is using the MAJOR pentatonic scale”. Why would you say that when you’re clearly playing in B minor pentatonic? This statement will only confuse beginners.

Hey Steve,
Thanks for the comment. I mention the major pentatonic scale because the beginning of the lick is based off of the D major pentatonic pattern and then moves into the B minor pentatonic pattern. Most students and guitar players that I meet and work with first become familiar with these two scale patterns as two different things. After they become more proficient, it’s easier to understand mixing the two together.
I do understand your point… The main idea behind this series is that the videos and lessons are suppose to be quick and effective. For a deeper understanding of the theory behind the scales and licks, I would suggest that people check out the full Super Guitar Licks program or at least the Licks, Licks, Licks course which gives a much deeper understanding and analysis of the licks.
