Playing Chorus 1, Lick 17 on 'Natural D Blues'

Video Transcript

KIVETT BEDNAR: To play lick number 17 in Wes Montgomery's solo on the "D-Natural Blues" from the Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery, place your middle finger on the 9th fret of the 3rd string and your middle finger on the 8th fret of the 2nd string. Now, you're going to slide that structure, that minor 3rd interval up a whole step, and then slide back to your original position and on the 3rd string, slide forward a half step, and then slide back and pull off and catch your forefinger at the 7th fret of the 3rd string. Your lick should sound like this [PLAYS LICK]. Now, you're going to be thinking in the D major blues box rather than the D minor blues box, whereas the last lick was kind of over that scale [PLAYS D MINOR BLUES SCALE], this one is sort of over this scale [PLAYS D MAJOR BLUES SCALE], D major versus D minor. So, I'm going to play the lick twice slowly, and once or twice quickly [PLAYS LICK]. Now more quickly [PLAYS LICK].
