My Top 10 Blues Licks

Hello!

This is an improvisation solo over a 12-bar blues in the key of D major. Here's the link to the background music that I used:

Backing Track

If the link stops working for any reason, please comment below, and I'll replace the background music with a new but similar track.

There's a simple theoretical analysis in the PDF file where I explain the theoretical concepts and scales I use throughout the solo.

I haven't notated the entire solo regarding my right-hand technique because the solo is quite lengthy, and it's far too time-consuming. However, I've noted my right-hand technique at times when I believe it's really necessary, to make it easier for you when you want to learn some parts of this solo or the whole thing.

Speaking of that, you really don't need to learn the entire solo from start to finish. It's perfectly okay to just learn certain parts of the solo and try to incorporate "my licks" into your own playing and creativity.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help.
