"Hi in this lesson we are going to learn a really great lick in the key of G. It starts in the twelfth position using the G major scale. Notice how the entire lick is played on one string. I'll play the lick two times for you, lets listen at full tempo. Three, four. Ok lets break this lick down. It's a four note descending pattern using the G major scale. The lick starts in the twelfth position and is played completely on the first string. You are going to start on the fifteenth fret using your pinky. And you are going to slide down to the tenth fret using your first finger. Now every time you change positions in this lick you are always going to move with your first finger. Going to end it on a third fret with your second finger on the first string. Lets do the whole thing again. This time I'll play it for you with a half speed back in track. Three, four."
