In this video, I wanted to give you a mix of licks that help you create some wild but memorable guitar parts to help you spice up your lead playing. These can also run alongside the slower more emotive aspect of playing you should also be working on too. Don't forget the importance of 'feel' and space in solos too. I was really inspired by Nuno Bettencourt's playing to create this particular lesson. Although there are no specific licks from his songs in this video, it was how he placed licks like the ones shown in this video into his classic solos like, Play With Me, RISE, # REBEL, Flight Of The Wounded Bumblebee and so many others. This video will help you work on tapping, string skipping, sweep picking, and alternate picking. Lots to work on so do me a favour and hit the subscribe button.
