This lick is the intro and outro to one of my tunes. It's a nice bluegrass lick that works great in any bluegrass tune
or country tune. Start of slowly and build it up to speed. You'll like this one!

Lick #3
Try this open lick ending in C! It can be tricky to get up to speed, but once you get the pattern, it's fairly easy.
You can also take parts of this lick and make it to smaller lick ideas. For example, the first two bars
works perfect over a II V in C. Try it out!

This is a classic Jerry Reed lick in E! Jerry has a very special style of playing the guitar. He has a lot of ideas like the
lick below, when two lines are played simultainously, creating harmony. Start off really slowly and work it up to speed.
Jerry plays this lick in many different songs. Two of them are "Jerry's Breakdown" and "Stump Water".

Lick #6 by Emil Ernebro
The top note of this lick is a regular blueslick. I use this E13 voicing to harmonize the simple top note lick.
It's the same voicing for all the chords, so it's very easy to play. The lick is useful in jazz, country and blues
and I picked this up from Steve Trovato. Don't forget to swing the 8ths!

Lick #7 by Emil Ernebro
This is a great open string lick in A minor. In this case, I use it as if it would be the ending lick on a song.
The guitar fingering for the right hand (i p m) is really important here, and if you learn the pattern, you will
be able to play many other open string licks that have this technique. And also, it will be easier for you to
come up with your own licks in this style! Have fun!

This is an altered lick that I heard Georg Wadenius play on a christmas tune. Watch the fingering and
all the slides and pull-offs carefully. The scale we use over the G7 chord is the "Altered Scale", or another
name is "Super Locrian Scale". (Same scale as Ab Melodic Minor.) Emil Ernebro

Lick #12 By Emil Ernebro
I've written down two simple short II V I-licks in D major. I use an Eb triad over the dominant V7 chord (the A7).
When you harmonize scales, you'll find arpeggios that you can use when you improvise. I harmonized the Bb
melodic minor scale (same as A altered, or A super locrian) and found an Eb7 arpeggio. It sounds nice when played
over the A7 chord, and it's an easy way for you to organize and find some great sounding altered notes on the V chord.
Cause everyone knows how to play an Eb triad!
Have Fun!

This lick works great as an outro lick on a Blues tune! It has two lines that we

One of the most unique Jazz players I've ever heard is Jimmy Wyble. When I was studying guitar
in Los Angeles, I had the chance to study a little bit with Jimmy, and he was such a nice guy and
played some amazing Jazz guitar. (By this time, 2008, he was 85 years old, and still taught guitar
to many students!) Jimmy had a lot of ideas where he would hold two notes from a chord, and
then play a melody underneath. This is a typical Jimmy Wyble idea. It's a V I chord progression,
and I wrote out the lick in two different positions on the neck.
In example nr.1, it lands on the root of the chord but in example nr.2, it lands on the major 3rd of
the chord. It's good to be able to play the lick on at least two positions on the neck. Watch the
fingering really closely. It's a tricky lick, but works great in many situations.
Another teacher of mine that I studied with in LA is David Oakes, and I picked up a lot of Jimmy
Wyble's ideas from him. David is a really great player, and if you want to learn Jimmy's stuff, go to

Lick #15
I got this open string run in A minor listening to Doyle Dykes. Doyle is one of the greatest fingerpickers
on earth right now, and his right hand technique is really good. What is really important here is the right
hand, and I wrote letters above the notes that shows what finger to use on the right hand.
(i= index finger, p=thumb, m=middle finger.) Start off really slowly and then work it up to speed.
Have fun!

Lick #16
I got this lick from one of my guitar teachers in Los Angeles, David Oakes. David used this lick in the fingerstyle
standard "I'll See You In My Dreams". It's a great little open string lick over Fmaj7, and then in the third bar, we
land on a Fmi6 or Bb7 chord. I stole this idea and used it in my arrangement of "White Christmas". Have a listen
to it and se if you can hear it. Have fun!

I gave one of my guitar students a lesson on right hand technique, and a few of the exercices that we did,
involved a lot of open string scales and ideas. One of the things I asked him to do for the next lesson, was
to take a scale that he knew, and play it in a totally different position on the neck, using open strings. This
is a good exercise, because it makes you think, and you have to be creative. It also helps you to understand
the neck of the guitar better, and who knows, you might come up with something cool, like this!
He came back to me with many different open string ideas, and I chose to show you one of them here.
This is a regular E minor pentatonic scale with the added flat five note to it. Some would call this a E
blues scale. Watch the fingering closely, start slowly and work it up to speed. Even though it's just a
scale played with a few open strings, it sounds like a great blues lick.
Thanks Fredrik Pettersson for this one. I'll use it, for sure!

This lick is a typical "Emil-lick" that I use all the time. It has this triplet thing going on, and I really like to use
this technique with the right hand. Watch the fingering for both hands closely, and start off slowly and then
work it up to speed. If you're playing with a pick, you can sweep all the triplets, instead of using the "p i m"
technique. The lick is played over a Dmaj7 chord, and I use two different arpeggios: F#m7 and Dmaj7.
Have Fun!

I learned this lick from Brent Mason's solo on "Mercury Blues" by Alan Jackson. Brent has his own great
way of playing things, and I always get inspired when I hear his guitars on records. This is a typical Brent
Mason sounding lick and It's very simple and useful! Chicken pick away my friends!

This is a simple turnaround-lick that I heard Brent Mason play. It's a I VI7 II V7 I progression in G,
and we play it with a swing feel.
The diminished arpeggio is a great tool to use over any dominant 7th chord. If you're not sure how to
play a diminished arpeggio, it's easy to learn! Just play minor thirds on top of each other. Say you're
starting on the note G, the next note would Bb three frets up, the next note, Db, the next note E (or Fb).
After you've learned how to find the notes, you should find a good way to organize the notes. Everyone
has their own way of playing the arpeggios.
Now... how do we use the diminished arpeggio over a dominant 7th chord? It's actually not that hard to
understand at all.
As you know, a dominant 7th chord wants to go home. In other words, when we play a G7 chord, the
3rd and 7th in the chord creates tension and it resolves when we land on some kind of a C chord. (If the C
chord is a major chord, the B note of the G chord resolves to C, and the F note resolves to E.) If we alter
the G7 chord, and put a b9 note on top, (G7b9) we create even more tension.
Now... name the b9 note of the G7b9 chord! ....... yes.. it's Ab. If we would play a diminished arpeggio
starting on Ab, we would get the notes: Ab, B, D and F. These notes are all the notes of the G7b9 chord,
exept the root! So, since the diminished arpeggio is symmetrical, you can play a diminished arpeggio starting
on any of the notes of the G7b9 chord expept the root (G), and you will get the dominant b9 sound.
Pretty cool huh?!
In this lick, Brent Mason plays a diminished arpeggio over the E7 chord leading in to Am7, and also over
the D7 chord leading back to G. On both dominant chords, he's starting on the third, and plays the arpeggio
down like this:
on the E7; G#, F, D and B
on the D7; F#, Eb, C and A
Have fun with the diminished arpeggios!

It is 1:30 am. and I am sitting on my little chair in my little music room and stealing licks from
records. I've had a Brent Mason day today.. and I heard him do a lick that reminded me of Chet

string lick to our bag of tricks! Have fun!

This is almost just a C major scale played using open strings, starting on the open A note. I heard
Chet Atkins play this lick on the tune "Cascade" written by Gene Slone. I enjoy these kinds of licks,
and they are great for practicing your right hand. Watch the fingering for both hands closely, and
start slowly and then work it up to speed. Since we are dealing with the C major scale here, the lick
sounds great over A minor too. Try it!

This is a typical Jerry Reed/Chet Atkins idea. I play two lines simultaneously. The top line
is a typical blues/country lick, and the other line is a cromatic voice going down the neck.
I hope you enjoy this, and try to find a place to use it. It works great as an outro lick for
a tune in A. Have fun!

This is a simple II V I - lick that I heard Charlie Byrd play. The lick is a good example of
how you can use triads from the major scale when you are soloing. In this example, Charlie
uses four different triads: Am, Bm, C and D.

This is another simple II V I lick in C. What I want to share with you in this example is the E triad played
over the V chord, (G7) in the second bar. The E triad has the notes E, (wich is the 6th or 13th of the G7 chord)
G# (or Ab wich is the b9 of the G7 chord) and B wich is the 3rd of the G7 chord. So in other words, when
you play a E triad over the G7 chord, you get the sound of a G13(b9) chord, wich is nice! Have fun!
