do
so
so
so
all right hello everyone and welcome to
another
lesson guitar lesson in this video i
will show you how to play
a lick, a triplet lick using
hammer-ons
this is the lick and we will apply this
lick to
an E minor blues, to a blues in E minor
and the lick works very well also
over the G
chord
because we are using notes from the
pentatonic scale, G major pentatonic
scale or E minor pentatonic scale
so welcome everyone again to this lesson
and let's get started.
First of all we want to learn three
notes
and because the lick is made of
of the same three note pattern that we
repeat three times so
first of all we want to play the fifth
string open
using a down stroke all right
and then and then we wanna
after the downstroke we hammer
we hammer on the same string at the
second fret
using the middle finger so you pick the
open string
then you hammer on and then after that
you play an upstroke on the fourth
string
open so you have open
hammer-on open
and that's a triplet so
so again slowly
goes like this
so you see we're using the fifth string
open and the
and the fourth string now if we move
that pattern
to the fourth string and the third
string
it sounds like this fourth string open
hammer-on using the middle finger and
third string
open down hammer-on
up and now
let's move it the same three note
pattern over the third
and the second string right so third
string open
hammer-on and second string open now
let's put it all together
and we have
so you see is the same pattern three
note pattern
repeated three times
once
twice and three times
and now in tempo
okay let's say this is the beat this is
the tempo
one two three
four
yeah long time no see
so that's the lick now after that we
want to play
a bass for the E minor
the bass is the last string right then
we strum twice
and then we play open strings
and back to E minor like this
one two three
four and so again
first beat one just the bass on two and
three
we strum and on the fourth beat
we play a down up and the down is
all open string and the up
is with the fingers back to E minor
just like that
all right let's put it all together with
the
with the triplet lick
all right now we want to repeat this
twice we are this is kind of a blues
in E minor so we will repeat that
the lick and the E minor twice
once now we repeat
we want to go to an A minor so first we
play the lick
and then we play the A minor in this
case the bass will be the fifth string
open
the strumming pattern so remains the
same
so you see for the A minor will be bass
strum strum
open A minor alright so
so far we have E minor E minor A minor
let me do it one more time from the top
now i go back to E minor
all right now it's time to now it's time
to go to B7
so in front of the B7
i will play my lick, triplet lick
and here i go bass that's the fifth
string
down down down open sorry
bass down down open
A minor , little surprise here we
after the open strings on the fourth
beat
we land on an A minor so
again one two
three four and
okay so one more time from the very very
top
E minor
E minor again
A minor
and E minor
B7
all right here right after the A minor
we need to change the to change the lick
we cannot repeat that one more time
maybe we could but I don't like that
so
and hi Dan
good to see you again
all right so that that final
phrase goes like this slow-mo
so it's pretty simple and
it goes like pull-off on the first
string
with my index and that's a downstroke
pull-off and then I play an upstroke on
the third string second fret
and that's a triplet again
right after that I play open G
then the fourth string second fret and
then the
fourth string open
and again the fourth string second fret
so after the triplet i have four notes
those four notes down up down
now the very very last note I like to
use
to switch to the ring finger for the
very last note like this look
look at my left hand
why is that well because that way I'll
be ready to play
my E minor
all right so there you have it this is a
short simple lick that is
I think is rather simple because
you know the the right hand is just
playing down ups and the left hand is
only play a hammer on so
if we synchronize that
we can go pretty fast
it sounds cool i think, what do you think?
show me in the comments or give this
video a like
let me know what you think about this
simple short lick
and now you can experiment with this
and you can try try
to play the same three note pattern on
on
on different strings different frets
let me give you an idea for example here
using the first and the second string we
can play the hammer-on
on the second string at the third fret
like this open hammer-on open
and usually if i do this i like to land
after the triplet i like to play
the high G note here so like this
maybe something like that
this is a simple variation
open B here i need an open B because I'm
going
to a B7
and I can stay and recycle
the same ending phrase so again
experiment with this i like to use this
i idea also when i'm playing fiddle
tunes let me give you an example
let's say i'm playing this fiddle tune
this is the a part and
it's in the key of g you see
it's like a G arpeggio
and then it goes to a D chord so here
over the G chord, I can go like this
something like that right and i think
it's a cool little variation that you
can play
and so experiment and try to find other
solutions other combinations
and again it's simple open string
hammer on and open string all right so
there you have it that's all for today
