Gregsguitars LICK OF THE WEEK Part1 (free lesson)

A nice jazzy dom7 arpeggio lick. wich works great over every dominant7 chord. Even if you have a diffcult chord progression in a song, you can use this lick in the difficult part (key change etc). Just start with the root on the special chord. More licks of the week will come (weekly..:-)

Elmwood Bonneville 50 Combo + 2005 Gibson Les Paul Faded Part No Pedals used in this Video. Amp is new and complete stock. Guitar is stock but has a pair of Pickup-Covers. www.gregorhilden.de

[bugabutu]

just wondering, is that nail polish on your nails?

[GregsGuitars]

@bugabutu NO!

Hey grag,

You play realy good, how did you learn to play jazzy like that? Did you start playing classical and later play electric?, did you take lessons or did you learn it all by yourself?

cheers!

Cheers!

@MFJord1 I tried to figure out on my records everything wich was interesting (this was in the pre-Internet days....) - then I modified and changed the material with my own ideas

Hey Greg, may I ask you a personal question? Which guitar players had the most impact on you as a young guitarist?

Because you have that unique jazzy style blues, which I can't relate to any famous guitar player.

I hope you will find the time to answer that...

Thanks!

I've studied lot Mike Bloomfield (in the beginning, he was my first Blues Hero), than Peter Green, B.B. King, etc). I've heard a lot of Blues rock too like ZZ Top, became more interested in Jazz (Larry Carlton, Wes Montgomery) Fusion (Scofield, Metheny). I've transcribed a lot and every time when heard a nice lick on a record I figuered out and tried to change it a little bit. Pus: I always tried to combine the stuff with my own ideas (very imprtant!). So, a mixture of this is the result

Gregor your generosity is outstanding. You are currently my favorite guitar player on Youtube.

@bugabutu Who cares if it is

[Tayplupe]

Thanks for taking the trouble to post-this is a great lick.

Chuck Norris got nothin' on Gregsguitars!

Another way to name this lick is Half Diminished arpeggio lick. You can take the root note of any dominant 7 chord and substitute it for a minor 7 flat 5 chord which contains the same notes as for instance a C9 or Em7b5 Cool and fun way to spice up your blues shinangins

Thanks very much for these licks lessons, Greg. Very much appreciated. A great service to many of us.

@bugabutu Hehe. You can always tell it's Gregor even before the camera zooms out. Not only from the great licks, but from the shade of the fingernails. :-)
