Blues Hotline: Three Licks to Give Your Solos Some Sizzle

Robben Ford

Blues licks from Robben Ford


Premier Guitar October 2010

Hotline #21
This line could be the opening line for a slow blues, but sounds good at an up tempo shuffle feel as well. Download Example Audio...



Hotline #22

This line sounds best when played as the last two bars of a slow blues progression.

Hotline #23
This line could be played in either the third and fourth, or sixth and seventh bars of a blues progression. The 16th note triplet in the second half of bar one sounds different than written, so check the phrasing with the audio clip. Download Example Audio...
