1, 2, 3, [B] 4.
[Gb]
[Bm]
[Abm] [Dbm] Hey [B] everyone, welcome back to Swift Guitar Lessons.
Today
I'm showing you how to play some cool rockabilly or
Jump style blues guitar licks and we're going to be doing it over a B7 chord.
Okay, it may be like a 1, 4, 5 in the key of B.
So that would be B7
[Bm] maybe an E9 [Ab] and
an F sharp 9 or F sharp 7, something like that.
[Bm] Okay, so we're going to start off with a lick that uses the blues scale in the key of B.
So that would be this.
[Gbm] [B]
And there's definitely tons of options within that scale, but this lick takes it one step further by utilizing the B [B] major arpeggio.
Or
all the way down to the E string, okay?
Alright, so let's begin.
I'm going to start off playing this at full speed.
I'll slow it down and then break it up for you so you can add it into your own repertoire.
Here we go.
Real slow.
[Ab]
[F] [A] One more [Abm] time.
[Eb] [G] [B] That's been over top of B dominant 7.
Okay, so here's how it works.
We take our third finger and we're putting it on the D string of the 9th fret.
My middle finger is down the staircase.
It's here on the 8th fret of the G string and
my first finger here on the B string 7th fret.
So I have
just B major.
Okay, so I'm going to trail down that.
Next my third finger is going to go up [Cm] here to the 9th [B] fret of the B.
[Ab] Back to [Gbm] the 7th, [Ebm] back to the major 3rd.
So that's part [Abm] number one.
Ready?
[Ebm]
Next I go up a little bit wider.
I'm going up to the 10th fret of the B string.
[Dm] Back [Gb] to the 7th and back to the [Eb] major 3rd.
That's 8th fret G string.
[B] So so far I have
[Ab]
[D] [Ebm] and finally I go to the high root which I like to stop real short or staccato, right?
Just like that.
So we have
[Ab] [Eb] [D] [Eb]
One more time.
[Ab] [Eb]
Okay, I'm trying to keep my alternate picking going too.
I can do all downstrokes for that [B] first bit.
[E] Upstroke, [Ebm] downstroke, upstroke, [D] downstroke, [Eb] upstroke, downstroke, and follow [G] through with another downstroke there.
Alright, I'm going to play that a few more times in rhythm and I want you to try to follow along.
Here we go.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
[Ab] [Eb] [Abm]
[Bm] One, [E] two, [B] three, four.
[Ab]
[Ebm] [D] [B] [G]
Alright, so let's check out a couple of other things that you can add to this technique.
Maybe as a follow-up to set up the next chord.
So we'll have our lick come in right over top of B dominant 7th.
And I have.
I might try to slide up into a bar instead of just hitting that one single note staccato.
I can just slide up [F] [A] and maybe descend from the
[Abm] 10th to the [B] 9th back to my double bar.
So next [Gb] [B] I can do a double bar here on the 9th fret of the [E] G in the B string.
A [D] double bar here on the 7th fret.
It's got my minor 3rd in there.
And then I can hammer that up to my major 3rd which is here on the [Ebm] 8th fret.
[B] Okay, so in contact with the lick.
[Ab] [Eb] [Bm]
[Gb] [D] [B] And then finally, I can go right there to my root found on the D string, 9th fret.
Alright, so that's how I can get back to my root if I'm going back to the I [E] chord.
But let's say I'm traveling on to the IV chord coming out of that [B] lick.
[Gb]
[B] [F] I can easily [Bm] just descend just like that.
Okay, so let's give that a [B] try.
I'll come through the lick.
[Gb] [B]
That's where we left off.
[Gbm] Now my middle finger can come up to the [B]
F sharp, [F] F, [E] and I'm there.
[B] E9 chord.
Okay, so at speed it would sound something like this.
[F] [E] [Bm] Alright, thanks for watching.
I'm Rob from Surf Guitar Lessons.
And I'm going to be showing a few more licks like this over the course of this week.
So keep checking back and subscribe.
Thanks so much.
I'll see you soon.
