Lick Library Updates

Greetings and good day to all of the fine JamPlay subscribers. I am happy to announce that our lick library has been updated with 6 new licks from Steve Eulberg. You can now learn the following:

Classic Bluegrass Lick - Steve teaches one of the most important and universally used bluegrass licks in the key of G.

Classic Bluegrass Lick in C - Steve teaches a classic bluegrass lic, this time in the key of C.

Walking Up in D - Steve teaches a bluegrass lick which has you walking up the scale in the key of D.

Descending G Lick - Steve teaches a descending lick in the key of G.

Descending C Lick - This lick descends through the first position pattern of the C major scale. The fingering for the lick is loosely based around the "open" C major chord.

Descending D Lick - Steve Eulberg demonstrates a bluegrass lick that features a descending pattern of the D major scale. This lick is played in second position. However, it can easily be transposed to all 12 keys.

Enjoy the new licks. More updates to the lick library are coming soon, featuring rock and blues licks from David MacKenzie and Brad Henecke.
