"Asking Around For You" by Joe Bonamassa solo fast lick

For me, this is a real finger twister...Just plain tough due to sweeps, string skips, uber clean picking, and downright blistering speed on the Live version of "Asking Around For You". For the sweep picking Yngwie disciples it would probably be a lot easier. I'm just a blues dude, so be easy on me. If you enjoy this particular lick as much as I do take advantage of my hard work in just figuring out the notes. Play it cleaner than me, PLEASE!!

Hey man thanks, good vid, but why dont you make it a bit easier and play it as a 'C' shape instead, (so it's like playing the second half of a major bar chord, like how Hendrix used to) I wouldn't be surprised if this is how Bonamassa does it himself because it's more natural and you get the sweep.

My teacher tabbed the whole solo for me, only he couldn't figure out this riff ( yet ) :P

But an amazing riff, I think Joe's at least the greatest guitarist of the last 20 years

BTW which PRS model do you play ?

[Plocky241]

PLEASE MAN MORE1

nice...arpeggios sound great...especially to break way from the 'blues' rut sound... if you learn arpeggios all over the neck in every chord, you'll pretty much be able to improv very easily...

Thanks man. I've been playing this for 4 hours straight today. Thanks for your help.... It's an amazing riff. Out of my comfort zone for sure.... I'll be doing this for a while.
