In this lesson, learn four basic rock and blues guitar licks from the pentatonic scale. These phrases are sure to impress the ears of your listeners, and are intended for players at the intermediate level. Prerequisites would include knowledge of the musical alphabet and how it relates to the fretboard, the pentatonic and blues scales, and common lead guitar techniques like bends, slides, and vibratos. Special thanks to my good friends at Dragonsheartgui... for introducing me to a great new pick design, making this lesson much easier to create! Let's get started!

Swift is definitely a legendary guitarist in my book. One of the best on KZbin for sure. Nice guy, easy to learn from, very detailed orientated, pleasant personality, knows what he's talking about when it comes to music, excellent teacher & he's not afraid to use "out of the box" thinking when teaching music, which is nice to see. A very genuine person too. Much respect to him. Thanks for all the Free Lessons, they've improved my playing & the understanding of music theory a lot. Much appreciated!
