coolest licks?

Post by smike »

wow, a lot of tab has been posted here.

i've been collecting licks i like (or don't like because i can't quite play them yet, but am determined to master!) into a big book o' licks.

i was wondering what your favoritist or coolest licks were (if you don't mind sharing)?

thanks,
smike

Some of the "coolest licks" are some of the very basic licks - just played at the right time. Doesn't have to be a fancy or complicated lick.

Adding to Jack's comment. Rhythmic variation or placement of the "same old phrase" can create new sounds. Many phrases start on the beat, so if you start them on the second leg of the eighth note (or sixteenth note) it will have a syncopated sound. (Add an eight rest to the beginning of a phrase.) It sounds less "square".
