We’ll start with a great lick from one of my favorite guitarists, Robben Ford. This lick comes from his version of the tune “Chevrolet.” The song is in the key of G and the lick is based out of G Minor Pentatonic. You’ll notice that you’ll be employing some tried and true techniques like bends, hammer-ons, and pulloffs. The key to this lick is the cascading manor in which we walk down the scale only to be joined with a great hammer on double stop/chord stab. This lick was the one that really made me start to listen to Robben. Once I learned this lick, I began my journey down the road that Mr. Ford has set forth. Oh, and I’m still on that road…albeit a rugged one! Enjoy.
