Pentatonic Lick #2 🎸
Sometimes, simply repeating part of a melodic sequence can make it much more interesting.
This lick repeats a three-note fragment to create an 11-note phrase that shifts across the beat. See if you can feel the rhythmic displacement!

FM3 Firmware 12 vs Firmware 13 – can you hear a difference?
For this listening test, I used four pentatonic licks and four different amp types. Each Firmware 12/13 comparison uses the same DI and settings, with no final processing added in Logic.
The licks are taken from my new Pentatonic Lick series – Lick 1 is available now, with the others coming to the free library over the next few months.
Listen on headphones if possible and let me know what you hear:

Don’t just memorise another guitar lick – learn how the idea works and use it to generate your own.
My new Pentatonic Lick series begins with a simple eight-note sequence using the familiar A minor pentatonic scale. Each new video will develop the original idea in a different direction.

Back from a fantastic holiday in Tenerife after a pretty crazy and all-consuming month beforehand.
Feeling refreshed, full of ideas, and ready to start creating again.
Plenty of new guitar content coming soon. 🎸

I think I may have discovered physical evidence of a guitar obsession 😂
Back when I used to change strings every week, I kept all the packets for the Player Points.
Fast-forward a few years and I found the whole lot in storage!

A recent tone experiment that turned into something quite musical.
The FAS Class-A on the FM3 — very simple setup, but a really nice natural breakup and feel for blues playing.

A slow blues from yesterday… although it didn’t stay entirely traditional.
Still a blues feel at the core, but with some added colour — jazz-inspired chords, more open harmony, and a slightly different approach to phrasing.
FM3 for the tone, and a straight iReal Pro backing track.
