Chords for Alvin Lee, Licks on a Gibson 335 ES Dot

I'm going to show a very cool _ lick pattern _ _ _ _ that's Alvin Lee.
_ You start with 4th fret on the G.
[A] _ [B] _ You [Am] go to the 5th [G#m] and the 6th.
And then [E] you have a choice. _
_ You can go to the B string on the 5th and [C#] _ 7th on the B and then [E] 5 on the E.
That's one choice.
Or you can do _ 4, [B] _ _
5, [C#] _ [E] 6 on the G.
Then you can do 5, _ [A] 6, 7 on the E.
_ [E] _ And then _ 5 on the [B] E.
_ Both are cool.
[C#m] _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ [G#] That's the first one.
Here's the variation by adding the _ 6 on the B.
_ [A] You _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
can barre all three [D#] strings and just slide down.
_ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[C] _ _ [C#m] _ [F#] _ _ _ _
That's doing the 3, 2, 1.
_ You can also do the [B] barre _ [C#] and _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _
do triplets.
I prefer just _ _ _ _ picking the notes. _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I prefer doing two triplets and then a single note.
_ _ _ _ That right there is a cool lick.
You can play it fast or _ you can play it slow. _ _ _ _
_ _ And just turn it into a regular blues lick.
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
Just that in itself is a cool lick.
That's a very cool lick.
And that's not one when you're looking for _ _ _ really [B] interesting blues licks.
This is [C#] interesting.
[F] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[A] _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#m] _ [A] The _ _ _ _ _ _ first note you're starting with is a C.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[A] And [F#] you're ending on [D] an _ A [B] on the E string.
[C#] _ [F] _ _
_ So just [E] that, if [A#] that was it, that's cool.
_ _ But since we're doing Alvin Lee, we're kicking it up a bit [A] because he goes further.
So _ we're going to go to the E string and we're going to do a pull off on 7 and 8. _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ And then we're going [G] to hit on that 7th fret on [F#] the B.
[D] And come back to the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
5th [F#m] fret on the E. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] if we stop there, _ that's just cool.
If you played it slow, [C#m] _ _ [F#m] _ [A] _ _
[F#m] _ _ [N] just blues, that is _ different from a lot of the patterns you see.
Just that is cool.
_ _ But again, we're Alvin Lee.
We move on.
So we're going _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ [G] to slide all the way [D#] up to the 8th fret on the E and do another pull off.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [B] So here we go.
[C#] _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Em] And if we stop there, it's cool. _
_ We're talking about Alvin Lee.
[F#m] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] So we do our pull off here _ [A] at 8, _ _ 9, 10.
_ _ And coming back to 9 on the B.
_ _ And then it's a matter of we're getting towards the end of the progression.
We need to come back.
So _ this would be up to you.
You can do triplets here on your B string, _ _ [D#] on your G. _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ And if you do that, just that pattern right there. _ _ _ _
Just the fact that you played it slow, I would call that intermediate to a high intermediate lick.
And it's very interesting.
The triplets are interesting. _ _ _ _ _
So, we start here.
_ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But being Alvin Lee, _ _ he was_
Alvin Lee was about speed and he was about a lot of notes.
And so an Alvin Lee _ _ _ _ interpretation _ _ _ _ of this would be [C#] like_
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Adding more notes makes it a lot more interesting.
So this would be an Alvin Lee lick. _
_ [C] Instead of going, pulling off and going straight to the B. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And he would do it fast.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] All that is is pulling off here.
Three, triplet.
[F] _ Pulling off here, triplet.
_ Triplet. _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
And if you want to get _ _ _ _ _ _ used to _ playing in his style, and I've said this before, it's all about triplets. _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] And it goes on and on and on.
So anyway, _ [Bm] this _ _ _ demonstration, if you just get this, _ [C#m] _ _ [F] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [Em] _ that, _ that right there is an extremely cool lick.
And then when you play with variations of [B] that lick, [Em] if you just use it in slow blues, it's going to sound cool.
And if you use it, speed it up in fast triplets like he did, then it gets extremely interesting.
Hope you enjoy it.
