_ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ Okay, _ [G] so this is the second lick in this three lick series, Gary Moore, _ blues, fast licks.
_ _ And it's very similar to the first one.
_ Starts out a little different.
It's a little different kind of a slant on it.
[C] But, _ and it's in the C minor [E] box [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [E]
[Bb] there.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Am] A little bit of stuff up here in that little [E] extension box.
[Eb] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ Okay, so we start up [Em] here on the E string.
And he does that two string bend.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ [Em] Okay, so he likes to do that.
A bunch of guys like doing that.
Neil Schoen does that a lot.
And _ Doug Aldrich seems to like that too.
_ Just gives you that real sense of urgency.
You know, you can go once.
_ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] Sounds great.
G G.
_ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ Sort of gives it that sort of siren kind of urgent sound.
Okay, so that's how [G] the lick starts.
_ [A] _ _ [Ebm] And _ _
_ [E] _ _ then we [N] come down here. _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Ab]
Okay, so that's how that lick basically starts.
That's [B] how the fast stuff starts.
_ _ That's probably what you want [E] to practice.
[F] _ _ [Cm] _ _ Okay, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ because that's key.
That's probably the most important part to get the lick going.
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Again, there's hardly any picking.
[B] It's just I pick [C] the first two. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And the last two. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Okay.
_ _ _ Yeah, that's what to practice [E] right there.
And just start off [Cm] slow. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] Okay, and just get it up as fast as you can.
Okay, so from there, _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
it's [E] kind of just you feel your way through that.
You know.
_ _ [C] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[E] _ Sort of almost do what you want in that second hit.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ You know.
So you're just kind of bouncing around that [E] pentatonic shape.
But the most [N] important thing is how it starts.
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ And you can use [E] that starting pattern.
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ You know, just [Em] throw that in your playing anywhere [Bb] just to get.
[Cm] _ _ _ _
_ You _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ know.
That's a great way to start a fast [E] lick.
Okay, a little different than the first lick we went over.
_ Excuse me.
_ [Cm] But _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ it's really effective and gives you that real kind of sparkly sound that
guys like Gary Moore are known for. _ _
[E] Okay.
_ [C] _ _ Yeah, [G] I got something out of this.
[N] I think it should help you.
These speed licks, you just, you really need to practice a lot. _
_ And keeping also in mind that everybody _ who plays guitar is going to,
you know, have their own speed limit that they probably won't be able to get past.
_ _ So the thing is not to get, you know,
overly concerned about not being able to play as fast as that other guy. _
_ But just, you know, go as fast as you can go.
_ _ But at the same time still pushing yourself to try and get quicker and more accurate.
_ And, yeah, just basically accepting where you're at but always pushing ahead.
Right? _
Okay, yeah.
So I hope you got something out of it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _

Okay, so that's how that lick basically starts.
