Lick Of The Week Series [Shred Licks]

[CooleyJr]

Some of you may have already seen the Lick Of The Week videos I have on Youtube, but for those that haven't.. I just uploaded my 3rd Lick Of The Week. Each video has a link to the tabs in the descriptions so you can learn them, but I'll link them beneath each video.

Week 1 - Single String 5s [Pure Alternate Picking]

Week 3 - Ab Natural Minor In Groups Of 6 [New and in HD]

I plan on uploading a new lick each week, either on Sunday or Monday. Various techniques and picking methods. I'll try my best to provide tabs and an explanation theory wise.
If anyone has a request for a type of lick they'd like me to upload, I'll see what I can do.

I found out about these from Tre Watson linking them on his facebook, I've enjoyed what I've seen so far and I have subscribed.

 

[CooleyJr]

Awesome man! Glad you like em! Yeah Tre posted the newest one pretty much right after I uploaded it. He likes to spam me..

 

[The Reverend]

While I'm not nearly near Cooley speed, I'm gonna start using a couple of these licks as fingering and picking exercises. Thanks for uploading them!

 

[CooleyJr]

No problem man. That's what they're there for!

 

[SirMyghin]

Thanks for the exercises, can never have too many floating around.

In the process of notating a new lick I just wrote for the next Lick Of The Week. You guys should really like it. Especially if you like exotic sounding stuff.

You mean no videos covering how to achieve David Shankle's tone or how to play some of the scales/sections in his Insanely Amazing Demonic Guitar Solo?!1... dammit!

Listen man.. If you REALLY WANT ME TO.. I might actually do that.

I keed, I keed. I never want to learn how to play like that douchenozzle.

Good. I wouldn't want to teach someone how to get worse at guitar.

Wish I could edit the OP. Either way, here's the newest Lick Of The Week!

Yeah man. I figured I'd use it since it's an amazing alternate picking exercise.

Same here man, I've enjoyed every video so far and have learned something from each one so that equals a win in my book.

[s_k_mullins]

Thanks for sharing the videos! I definitely can't play these pieces at full speed, but they are excellent exercises I'll be working on these for sure!

 

[CooleyJr]

Awesome man! Also.. Video responses are welcome! I wanna see videos of people playing these licks
