Hello!!!

Welcome to my 3rd column at CHOPS FROM HELL!!!

Did you get yourself in another bind? Nothing sucks worse than taking a nose dive in the middle of a solo you've played a hundred times. When I hit a rough spot live I like to use something I call a "dumbass lick" (nobody's perfect)! I call them "dumb ass licks" because that's what I feel like when I have to use them but they work like a charm every time! This is a legato lick. Only the first note (5th fret, high E) gets picked, the rest of the scale is legato. But think of the possibilities, after you pick the first note you can raise your hand and wave to your mom in the audience! Enjoy!
