You can download the tabs for those first six licks in the video from here: www.bluemorris.com/post/stop-playing-this-guitar-lick Thanks for watching! 😎
I have been watching your videos for the past two weeks and appreciate your teaching style. Your instruction is well though out. and you explain the key board in a way that is simple to understand.
Stumbled onto the site yesterday and this is my forth viewing of one of your videos. KUDOS ....... content is amazing.Yes .... others do similar but I like your presentation style. So impressed I ordered Book 1 this morning.
Love your videos, just started watching them. Haha I play in a band and now after watching this I realized in at least 2 songs I wrote I do the same thing you are talking about. Keep the videos coming. Very educational!
When I saw the title of your video, I thought, what is the most ubiquitous lick in rock? I guessed right! Great suggestions for alternatives, but it’s going to be a hard habit to break. Great video.
Thank you for another great video. You might do a video on short and easy beginner licks. Another topic is how to embellish chords. Another topic would be how to do FILLS between chords. Craig Ewinger
Hi Blue Morris, your lessons are great brought back the interest into picking back up the guitar, stuck on the pentatonic scale, not making licks. On your Visio’s could do with more light on the guitar it’s dark, makes it hard to see where you fingers are on the strings!😩👍
Have been devouring your channel since stumbling on this video. Just amazing content that has , in a very brief time, advanced my intermediate play. So hope you continue as you have a real talent for instruction. Wish I lived closer to Vancouver.....just a 30 hr drive.....I think it might be worth it ! 😁
Just came from your other video on the barre C launch lick that you turned into a bunch of music, bought your "Guitar Soloing Like a Pro" book and now enjoying this. I like how you teach. Thank you. BTW, I bought a Larrivee at a pawn shop in Biloxi, MS during the Katrina hurricane recovery and I have enjoyed that guitar over any I've ever owned and actually named it Katrina. It's an OM-01 and is a powerful sounding sweetie for her size.
Blue, I'm glad that I found your channel (glad you started it, lol). You have one or two (!) good ideas! (Like the one you teach here.) BTW, I got your soloing book, it has some good idears, too. (SIC on porpoise.) All in all, you're a good teacher. While I'm trying to learn theory as well, some of the stuff you say is overly-simplified, but for many ppl (esp ppl just starting out), that's good! I think most ppl want to start playing & sounding good as quickly as they can, right? So, that's a good thing, and that's actually why I got your book. (I can learn theory on my own time, lol.) Basically, I wanted to learn more cool sounding licks, and your book has a few. It isn't expensive, so that's fine. Anyway, keep up the good work, and I'll seeya 'roun' the channel. Stay sassy! 👍 👌
Awesome video lessons Blue! I had to subscribe and I watched a few of your other videos because they just open up so many ideas for me. I hope you won't mind me saying, but you have that whole Michael J. Fox thing going on so that just adds to your vibe Lol :) Maybe you could do the Johnny B. Goode solo from Back to the Future for us one day just for fun! All kidding aside.... you are really an awesome teacher and you really got me thinking about ordering your book. I wish you much success!
Thanks! True fact: I went to the same high school as Michael J Fox, though not at the same time. He's older than me. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Wow that is quite the coincidence! Again, I’m really glad I came across your channel. I’m sure it’s going to grow pretty fast because you have some really fresh perspectives on guitar lessons. I will definitely be watching. Thanks
Also, BTW, I've lived in the US South my whole life, and I'm kinda tired of the whole hot weather thing. I do know it gets hot sometimes up North, but it's not the 'only' thang, or even the 'main' thang. There's nice scenery everywhere but I wants ta see somethin' different. So, I'm saying I'm likely to come up that way for a visit. (I doubt we'll meet...unless you want to....) Just sayin'. Once again, stay sassy. Enjoy the beautiful Vancouver area.
Can you post up some licks and solos, by Jimi, Frank Marino, Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, Rory Gallagher, SRV, and the ways they put it in songs, to go with the chords and the rhythms? Thanks.
Hi Michael, I have a complete analysis of Hendrix "Hey Joe" on our Patreon. I'm planning on doing some more "in the style of" videos over time here on UA-cam, though those videos don't tend to do as well for us here on YT.
another point to stress; It's called the "easy" shape b/c it was first, practiced incessantly, committed to memory, transitioned to muscle memory, all to the point of being on the tip of our fingers. Why not switch this same focus to the next shape, and the next, making each one flow with ease of the "easy" shape? After all, that first one started out strange, foreign, and cumbersome too, didn't it?
Got my guitar in my hand and as the video started I said "it's obviously this lick" and played it in the A blues position/5th fret and sure enough you played the exact same lick. It is super cliched - but it fits well in the blues still, no?
My goal is to get good enough at playing blues licks that I will eventually grow bored with certian licks. At 74 years old I think I will have to wait untill my next life to fulfill that goal...
for a musician who has been playing for many years, I suppose it is OK to change a popular LICK but for someone like me who has not had any fun yet with the POPULAR old LICK why would I want to change it; THAT IS LIKE PUTTING SQUARE TIRES ON YOU CAR. HA HA!
I dont know about that. Would depend on what level you are at. Most people who start lessons with me don't know how to do this, and very few know how to focus on the roots, rather than "muck about" as you say. Thanks for watching though!

I am so glad that I have found your lessons, it totaly change my guitar journey...!
Thanks from Mont-Tremblant Québec...✌️
Great to hear! Thank you!!
Great lesson!!! Thanks
Thanks for watching 👍
Yeah, nice! What I'm trying to do and would like to see as a lesson is soloing between chords, or connecting chords with short melodic runs.
Thanks, good suggestion. There are easily several videos I could do for this. I just need to think of some catchy titles ☺️
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver How would you move this lick which is in A minor to G major?
Fantastic Lesson!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!

Awesome thanks Joseph. New video coming every Saturday
Thanks for a great video!
Yes, I would love to have you do a video on your 10 favorite licks.
Thanks again!
Great idea thanks. I'll put that on the schedule 👍

When I saw the title of your video, I thought, what is the most ubiquitous lick in rock? I guessed right! Great suggestions for alternatives, but it’s going to be a hard habit to break. Great video.
Thank you! I still play the luck sometimes too. Oh well. Still sounds good 👍 🎸
How do you move this lick to the key of G major?
Thanks very great lessons 👍🏻
Thanks Gus!

Hi Blue Morris, your lessons are great brought back the interest into picking back up the guitar, stuck on the pentatonic scale, not making licks. On your Visio’s could do with more light on the guitar it’s dark, makes it hard to see where you fingers are on the strings!😩👍
I agree, still working on the lighting. Trying some different things. I'll get it eventually
I like a well executed unison bend. 🎸
Oh yeah for sure. Always sounds good.
Have been devouring your channel since stumbling on this video. Just amazing content that has , in a very brief time, advanced my intermediate play. So hope you continue as you have a real talent for instruction. Wish I lived closer to Vancouver.....just a 30 hr drive.....I think it might be worth it ! 😁
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the great feedback!
This is great and fun to follow .. thanks for making this video !
Thanks A P!

Nice tanks !
Glad you like them!

good job my friend
Thank you very much
Nice!
Thanks for watching!
HI Blue can you do some acoustic blues lessons for a change. I love the way you teach. George Cornwall Uk.
Great suggestion! I'm curious to see if an acoustic video will do as well on this channel. Thanks I'll put it on the list.
Awesome video lessons Blue! I had to subscribe and I watched a few of your other videos because they just open up so many ideas for me.

Love your lessons but to fast for me but I'm trying 😊
Also, BTW, I've lived in the US South my whole life, and I'm kinda tired of the whole hot weather thing. I do know it gets hot sometimes up North, but it's not the 'only' thang, or even the 'main' thang. There's nice scenery everywhere but I wants ta see somethin' different.

Thanks Jeff, Vancouver doesn't get that cold, but we sure get a lot of rain :)
Can you post up some licks and solos, by Jimi, Frank Marino, Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, Rory Gallagher, SRV, and the ways they put it in songs, to go with the chords and the rhythms? Thanks.
Hi Michael, I have a complete analysis of Hendrix "Hey Joe" on our Patreon. I'm planning on doing some more "in the style of" videos over time here on UA-cam, though those videos don't tend to do as well for us here on YT.
I could be wrong, but I think it sounds like SRV Tin Pan Alley too.
It's definitely SRV, for sure 👍
Which levy’s leather strap is that?
another point to stress; It's called the "easy" shape b/c it was first, practiced incessantly, committed to memory, transitioned to muscle memory, all to the point of being on the tip of our fingers.

Are you located in Vancouver BC or Washington. ?
Vancouver BC
Got my guitar in my hand and as the video started I said "it's obviously this lick" and played it in the A blues position/5th fret and sure enough you played the exact same lick. It is super cliched - but it fits well in the blues still, no?
It does and honestly I still play it, just not as much as I used to.
My goal is to get good enough at playing blues licks that I will eventually grow bored with certian licks. At 74 years old I think I will have to wait untill my next life to fulfill that goal...
Nah you can do it!!! That's a good goal :)
I’ve been playing it since before I was born 😂😂
How can you have a name like Blue Morris and not play the blue note? :)
Haha oh I still do play it, when the song calls for it 😄
Lol its true everyone plays this lead in alot
☺️👍
I feel attacked.. haha
No offense intended 😀
maybe we need to stop playing the guitar
for a musician who has been playing for many years, I suppose it is OK to change a popular LICK but for someone like me who has not had any fun yet with the POPULAR old LICK why would I want to change it; THAT IS LIKE PUTTING SQUARE TIRES ON YOU CAR. HA HA!
Do all this anyway. Not really a lesson. Just mucking about you will do all this without thinking about it.
I dont know about that. Would depend on what level you are at. Most people who start lessons with me don't know how to do this, and very few know how to focus on the roots, rather than "muck about" as you say. Thanks for watching though!
Led Zep only plagiarize everyone else anyway.
