Oops! 101


We're thrilled to have Doug involved with CFH...check back for more information on Doug's upcoming instructional Chops from Hell CD Rom release!

Hello!!!

Welcome to my column at CHOPS FROM HELL!!! First I want to thank Chris and all of those great players for putting the best "crazy licks" site on earth and second I want to thank you for staring at our computer screen. On with the show!!!

Imagine yourself playing the craziest guitar solo you've ever played in front of 10,000 screaming fans treating you like you're the second coming omf the Beatles and oops!! You forgot what came next in the yzm scale (not a real scale!). What do you do? Well if you ask me you bust out with one of your dumb ass licks! "Dumb ass licks" you ask? A dumb ass lick is a lick you have played a billion times that you know will get you out of any bind in any situation. Here is one of mine. This is a string skipping lick in D. The trick to this one is keeping all of the skips clean. Pick the first note of each string, hammer and pull the rest. Fun for kids of all ages!
