Here's the next wicked lick in my Michael Schenker Licks series! This one is similar to something Michael Schenker plays in his 'I'm a Loser' guitar solo. It's a fiery little repeating blues lick in the key of F# minor and uses more trademark Michael Schenker guitar style devices.

Natural Minor Scale Guitar Licks

Learn 4 awesome natural minor scale guitar licks for rock and metal soloing!. The natural minor scale or aeolian mode is an essential rock soloing tool used by rock and metal guitarists. In this guitar lesson you'll learn how to use it too.  Learn the  most common natural minor scale pattern (in D minor), discover how to use a 'minor pentatonic framework as a starting point for your own natural minor scale licks, learn when to use the natural minor scale and discover how to combine the natural minor and blues scale for awesome rock and metal sounds.

Starting a blues solo in a strong ,attention grabbing way is essential if you want your playing to make an impact on the listener! In this lesson I'll show you 3 awesome licks for starting a blues solo.
