Many of us have a lot of extra time on our hands thanks to COVID 19.  It is because of this that I decided to divert some energy into creating something new.

I have just released Episode One of a new video series that I am calling Lick Formula.  

Here is some insight into what it is all about.

Lick Formula is a series I created with the intention of sharing what I hope you find to be interesting yet not terribly challenging lead guitar licks. Each episode will have a new guitar lick for your listening and viewing pleasure and will be accompanied by downloadable guitar tabs and click tracks for you to practice with. When creating lead guitar licks, I have learned to use what I call the Marty Friedman approach. What is the Marty Friedman approach? It is basically a way of creating your licks and runs using a combination of patterns within each bar as opposed to playing the same pattern for an extended period of time. For example, instead of playing a 4's pattern through 4 bars (which many players do, and yes it can sounds cool), the Marty approach would be something like mixing several patterns within the sequence. Doing this gives your leads much more flavor while also being unpredictable.

For you guitar players out there, I hope you will find this series interesting.  You can watch episode one right here

Stay safe everyone!
