Hello friends,
And welcome to another blues lead guitar lesson! In today’s session I’ll be breaking down one of Gary Clark Jr.’s “go to” licks, as heard in his recent jam with blues legend Jimmy Vaughan. We’ll begin by learning the soloing positions that Gary is using, before breaking this useful phrase up into easy to learn sections. Let’s get started!

Good Job man. Brazilian regards!

[@14Fangs]

First time I heard this lick was in Freddie King's cover of That's Alright from Live at the Electric Ballroom. There are some excellent acoustic (Texas) blues licks there that would be great for a video breakdown *wink wink* *nugde nudge*

[@buddyollie7400]

Ben Irving I actually first heard this in Freddie's sweet home Chicago! Lol

[@jdbroome8125]

[@absoledge]

[@johnbarker4539]

Would love to see all of his 12 bar blues licks broken down. There’s 2 on KZbin one electric with jimmy Vaughn

[@kdrake777]

Another great lesson to add to my arsenal from the BB box lesson!

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks for the comment, glad you're building up your repertoire of licks and that my lessons are helping. There's so many possibilities in that little box, expect more follow ups! -Rob

Thank yoy

[@rteryeuy5]

thanks for the awesome video I enjoyed it

[@MyChrisfish]

Great lesson man! Thank you

[@miyavizim]

This lick is in the solo section of Freddie King's acoustic version of Dust my Broom, and the lick is played over V, and correspondingly over the IV with a turnaround!

[@swiftlessons]

Wouldn't be at all surprised if that's where he picked it up. I've certainly heard it a lot, which is why it grabbed my ear. It's just one of those important, classic licks that all the greats use. Thanks for letting me know, I'll be checking out that tune as well!

[@Donny_A]

[@BodyMachineShop]

Love this lick Rob... especially when Eric plays it on Sweet Home Chicago intro. So who came first chicken or the egg. Thanks.

[@cpome7]

Great listen, Rob. Thank you. What's the story with the old seadog over your shoulder?

[@swiftlessons]

Hey thanks so much, Glad you enjoyed the video. That's the captain, just a random yard sale find. Apparently it's just one of a long series of paintings.

[@topodeauville]

GRAZIEEEEEEEEEEE MITICOOOOOOOO TUTTO OK BUONA SERATA

[@callmemirko5950]

Can you make a lesson of any Riblja Corba’s or Bajaga’s song, they are legendary Serbian rock bands, and they are AMAZING

[@callmemirko5950]

Pls, just listen to them, and you’ll fall in love

[@ferramirez4570]

Could you Make Our love By Gary Clark Jr ? and Miss Missery By Elliot Smith Please!.

[@sameerchaudhary465]

Hi I've just started learning blues and I'm confused whether you should do vibrato on 2nd string (B) downwards or upwards? I've seen many people say upwards but I see +swiftlessons do it downwards and I myself do it downwards. Someone pls help me out here lol

[@swiftlessons]

It’s really a matter of preference. The vibrato is one of the main techniques that makes your playing unique. Everyone’s is slightly different, and then there’s guys like BB King and Clapton who have developed a truly innovative approach that’s difficult to imitate

[@sameerchaudhary465]

@@swiftlessons Thanks for the reply! Could you possibly do one on Love In Vain? (Peter Green version)

[@bellaservices5138]

In the Gary Clarke Jr/ Jimmie Vaughn video- right before they play this lick they hit one chord several times. I think it's an E. Does anybody know exactly what they're doing?

[@prajurit8861]

Request treat me nice elvis tutorial gitar 🙏🙏

[@guilhermetarqueta8189]

Hi Rob, nice lesson, thank you! Could you please tell what kind Seagull Series you used in this video?

[@cfboeninger]

That is a good looking Seagull. What model is it?

[@guilhermetarqueta8189]

Chad Boeninger yeah...do you know the model?

[@eweegeewa]

Coastline cedar

[@JVCAY]

This lick's been used by someone else before (SRV?). Anyways awesome vid !

[@swiftlessons]

Oh yeah, it’s certainly not anything new, but I found it exciting because it’s not something I’ve had in my repertoire exactly. I play similar licks, but this is a fun twist for me.

[@wielandt88]

Sounds exactly like Clapton in one of the tunes from his unplugged performance..

[@JVCAY]

EXACTLY thank you it was so frustrating, I couldn't find the artist. I think it was in "before you accuse me"

[@superflycatchermtb]

sounds cool, I wish I could get this sorted out. I could watch you play that lick 100 times and never get it, but if i saw it in tab I'd have it learned in minutes.

[@topodeauville]

bravissimo io sarO una CAPRA MA SE METTI UN TAB COME FAI OGNI TANTO ILGREGGIE TI SEGUE MEGLIO CIAOO GRAZIE MILLE

[@swiftlessons]

Ehi, grazie per il feedback positivo. Buona pratica!

[@HumanBeanbag]

I can't tell if the guitars on the wall behind him are tiny or regular size.

[@Keepupit]

Took me a month

[@ayushmanbhalla8737]
