Riff 23 for Playing Blues Guitar in A

Video Transcript

In this next lick, I'm going to show you an A, as played on the E and the B strings, and basically what I'm going to do is repeating the lick over and over. They also call that "ostinato", as far as the classic term in Italian. And it's basically meaning, just playing the same series of notes, or phrase, over and over again. So to show you this lick, I'm going to show you on the tenth fret. And basically I'm going to be playing on the ten and eighth fret on both B and E strings. So what I'm going to do here is go. And breaking that down, I'm just bending it up. Picking, pulling off from the tenth fret to the eighth fret, and ending on the A note on the B string, and just playing it over and over again the same way. So when you play this lick, essentially, all you're doing is just playing the same thing over and over again with varying degrees of how you're bending your string.
