101 Must Know Rock Licks Download
Violetta Wagganer
To glean the effectiveness of these licks you need only sample the output of classic rockers like Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix, southern rock revolutionaries like Gary Rossington and Duane Allman, hard rock innovators like Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads, and metal heads like Zakk Wylde and Dimebag Darrell.
The main focus here in terms of vocabulary is classic rock, which we're going to define for the purposes of this study as pre-Van Halen, so you'll find no eight-finger tapping, no three-octave sweep picked arpeggios and no 32nd-note legato monster licks. What you will find, however, is a choice selection of medium-tempo classic rock phrases that are stylistically diverse, melodically flexible, and display a wide range of articulation and dynamic devices.
Now you can add authentic rock licks to your vocabulary. Here are 101 definitive phrases, plus demonstration audio, from every major rock guitar era, neatly organized into easy-to-use categories. They're all here! Includes licks from the Early Rock era, and the '60s through the '90s, plus a listing of suggested recordings. Audio is accessed online for download or streaming and includes PLAYBACK+ tools for tempo adjustment, looping, and more.
