Difficulty Level = Intermediate - Advanced

Duration = Video #1 (Over 1 hour & 47 minutes) - Video #2 (Over 14 Minutes)

This Lesson Includes:
- 1 Video Teaching All 36 Licks in Great Detail
- 1 Video as a Quickstart where I play all 36 Licks several times so you can hear how they sound if you don't need the instructional video, and just want a Quick Reference of the Licks
- Various Mp3 Practice Tracks to Jam Along With!!
- 9 Pages of TABLATURE with Right Hand Fingering

What This Lesson Covers:
In this lesson, I have written out 9 pages of TABLATURE, covering 36 Super Fast Licks! Tons of Hammer Ons/Pull Offs, Double Time, 16th note, & Triplet Licks. I go into great detail, and show you how to play these licks by slowing them down and explaining the proper right hand technique to play these licks up to speed. The Tablature also has the Right Hand finger written under it.

Difficulty Level = Beginning - Intermediate

Duration = Video #1 (Over 2 hours & 30 minutes) - Video #2 (Over 18 Minutes)

This Lesson Includes:
- 1 Video Teaching All 36 Licks in Great Detail
- 1 Video as a Quickstart where I play all 36 Licks several times so you can hear how they sound if you don't need the instructional video, and just want a Quick Reference of the Licks
- 5 Mp3 Practice Tracks to Jam Along With!!
- 10 Pages of TABLATURE with Right Hand Fingering
- 3 Diagrams Covering the Key of A - Major Scales, Pentatonics, and Blues Scales

What This Lesson Covers:
In this lesson, I have written out 10 pages of Tablature covering 36 Licks In The Key of A in Standard Open G Tuning (GBDGBD). Normally people need to use a Capo to play in the Key of A. However, in this lesson I show you how to use the open strings to your advantage! The Key of A with no Capo is great for playing Blues and the majority of these licks are Blues Licks. However, you can also use them for Bluegrass and even Western Swing. In this video I also talk about what scales and chord tones these licks are derived from.

What This Lesson Covers:
In this lesson, I have written out over 7 pages of Tablature covering 36 Licks In The Key of D in Standard Open G Tuning (GBDGBD). The first 12 covers licks played in open position. A tricky area of the instrument, especially in the Key of D. I then cover some great "Movable" Licks, and then some more old school double and triple stop licks! I've included several great Mp3 Jam Tracks at Slow and Medium Tempos. Some of the tracks are 12 Bar Blues, one is an 8 Bar Blues, and one just sticks on the D chord. Great for Jamming! I've also included 3 great diagrams of the Key of D in Standard G tuning GBDGBD.
