Lead guitar playing becomes a lot more exciting when certain techniques are used. Some of the
more important ones for Rock Blues guitar are the hammer-on, slide, pull-off, string-bend and
vibrato techniques. I shall deal with all of these over the next few pages. First of all learn the guitar
*lick written here. This will provide the basis for incorporating the hammer-on and slide technique.

This lick is more or less the same as the first lick but this time it is enhanced by using a
hammer-on and a slide. For the hammer-on ( T ) ~ i c the k first note as before and then
instead of picking the second note hammer your third finger down really hard to make the
note sound. You may need to practise this on its own for a while before carrying on. Once
you have mastered this, try the slide technique on the second measure. Here you have to
literally slide ( s ) your L.H. third finger from the 8th fret up to the 10th fret of the 2nd string.

'A lick is a term used for a group of notes that can be used with other licks
to make up riffs and guitar solos.
As with the lick on the previous page, learn the notes first as written and then try the same
lick again but with the pull-off and vibrato techniques set out below.

Now add a pull-off and vibrato to give more 'feel' to the notes. For the pull-off ( 7 )
between the 2nd and 3rd notes have your L.H. 1st finger already in position at the 5th fret
(2nd string). Strike the Gb note (7th fret of the 2nd string) then pull your third finger down-
wards off the string so that the E note is plucked without using the right-hand pick. When
you get to the last note (5th fret of the 2nd string), rock your 1 st finger gently from side
to side to create a 'bluesy' vibrato effect ( -).
Study the guitar lick featured here and then incorporate the string bend and vibrato techniques
shown below.

GUITAR LICK IN A AND STRINGBEND & VIBRATO

Now we can spice things up by adding a string bend and vibrato. A string bend is a technique
whereb you fret the note as normal. Then, push the strin hard upwards or downwards to raise
t; 9
the pitc .The example here shows the first note (4th fret o the 3rd string) is pushed up with the
3rd finger to the equivalent of two frets. Use your 2nd finger to reinforce the 3rd finger when
pushing the string up.
