Playing Chorus 1, Lick 9 on 'Natural D Blues'

KIVETT BEDNAR: To play lick number nine of this Wes Montgomery solo, start by placing your ring finger on the 4th fret of the 5th string, and your lick should sound like this [PLAYS LICK]. Now, I'm starting with my ring finger on the 4th fret of the 5th string, moving up a half step to the 5th fret of the 5th string, moving up to the 4th string at the 2nd fret, moving up a half step with my middle finger to the 3rd fret of the 4th string, up a whole step with my pinkie to the 5th fret of the 4th string, up a half step, sliding up a half step with my pinkie to the 6th fret of the 4th string, then moving up a whole step to B flat which is the 3rd fret of the 3rd string. So, then moving up a half step, again, with my middle finger to B natural, and then moving up a whole step with my pinkie, and then sliding up with my pinkie a half step to the 7th fret of the 3rd string. So I'm going to play this twice very slowly and then one time fast. We're really just playing symmetric dominant here, the symmetric dominant scale [PLAYS LICK].
