Guitar Licks are the Building Blocks of Lead Guitar
When the Metal Method program was first created, the heart of the course was Metal Licks recorded on audio cassette. That tradition has continued through this DVD version of this classic program. The title remains Metal Licks but today the phrases sound more Classic Rock than Metal. The original Licks Lesson was created in 1982 – what was metal then is Classic Rock today. These are classic Hendrix, Clapton, Trower, Page, and Jeff Beck. You can use this program as the basis of any lead guitar solo from blues to metal.
A System for Memorizing and Recalling Licks
This lesson teaches a technique for memorizing licks, and even more important, recalling them while improvising. It doesn’t matter how many licks you know, it only matters how many licks you can recall when you need them. In the early 80’s Metal Method instructor Doug Marks was giving private guitar lessons and taught more than sixty songs. He deconstructed the lead guitar solos from these songs into 109 licks. These phrases are transposed to the key of A minor. So, if the lead is in G, which is two frets lower than A, all 109 licks can be moved back two frets.
Next, the licks were organized according to their first note. The secret for recalling these licks is to memorize and practice all licks with the first note in mind. For example you’ll learn nine licks that begin on the first string fifth fret in A minor. Next time you’re improvising a lead and you end up on the first string, fifth fret you’ll have nine licks to choose from that start on that note. This grouping of licks makes memorizing them a breeze.
