The blues is of particular interest to guitar players as as it originated on the instrument. The tradition of guitar improvisation started with the blues and many of the signature melodic phrases of blues players, or blues licks as they’re called, are passed on and evolve with each new generation of guitarists.

In this teachers’s tip, Mike Christiansen will share some blues licks that classroom guitar teachers can use while teaching students blues, He explains when and where to use them.
