Section 6 - Time for Some Lovin'
We really turn into the “nice guy” on this one! It starts with a subtle sweep/rake followed by some whispering bends. Then, you get to walk up with some clean 6th intervals and back down with some octaves. Get the other fingers on your pick hand ready for some hybrid picking. It makes the back half of this lick sound all the more lullaby-like.

Length: 4:31 Difficulty: 2.5 Members Only
Section 3 - A Flavored E Chord
Based on an open “E” chord, this familiar sounding lick comes way down in dynamics and in range.
Length: 2:57 Difficulty: 2.5 Members Only

Length: 5:06 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 7 - Chipmunk Bite
This lick has bite! This lick remains soft for the most part, but has a few notes that really jump out dynamically. The beginning of the lick really nails the minor 3rd, but at the end, it rests on a...
Length: 4:39 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 8 - Keep It Fast and Quiet
Play one more quiet lick before we crank the gain back up. Incorporate some fast triplets, palm muted legato notes, and a smooth slide down to E. Then, you’ll reach for your volume knob!
Length: 3:03 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 9 - Messes and Megaphones
Bring back the bends and the loudness! This lick is designed to lead to another lick with a bit more resolve. It’s written to be messy.
Length: 3:44 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 10 - Play It in the 60's
It's time to bend the first string up to an E! Milk it for all it’s worth. The rest features a bendy journey down the Em pentatonic scale and a Hendrix-influenced trill with a twist. If you have a whammy...
Length: 3:59 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 11 - Do You Like Your Guitar?
If you like abusing your guitar, you’ll like this lick. It features loud, open string double stops, slides, and a long bend that ends with you hitting your guitar to create a percussive and abrupt stop!...
Length: 4:08 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 12 - Playful Thirds
Time to return to nice playing. The use of staccato when playing quietly makes for a playful, controlled sound. Pay special attention to note durations on this one. In order to nail the crescendo at the...
Length: 4:52 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 13 - Woah!
This lick only works if you play behind the beat. There are not many notes here, but each one counts. Using the whammy bar takes the listener to a modern instrumental rock place just for a second before...
Length: 4:40 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 14 - Play Like a Singer #1
Chris focuses on playing melodic lines that mimic vocals.
Length: 2:42 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only

It's time to spend some time with the b5. This lick features lots of legato with some strategically picked notes that give this descent a free flowing sound.
Length: 2:35 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 16 - Pedal Tones and Pull-offs
It's time for some more pedal tones! By taking the same pull-off feel, but slowing it down and using the ‘B’ string as a pedal tone, we’re able to walk up to a higher register unison bend.
Length: 3:05 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 17 - Sleepy Octaves
The hook returns in plain form, this time in a quiet octave line. String muting is important here to generate the desired effect of sneaking around the guitar while tipping one's hat to the melody.

Length: 4:41 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only
Section 22 - Another Answer
You don’t have to bend up a perfect 4th this time, but you do have a few more notes to worry about. You also have the opportunity to mimic a slide guitar player after you hit the highest note of the...
Length: 4:01 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only

Length: 3:48 Difficulty: 3.0 Members Only

About Chris Liepe
View Full Biography
Chris Liepe was born on September 17th, 1981 in Portland OR. His first instrument was piano which he pursued until discovering his love for the electric guitar in high school. He became fans of such groups as Soundgarden, Collective Soul and U2 inspiring him to start singing, songwriting and helping others in their musical endeavors with teaching, co-writing and album production.
Having moved to Colorado with his family, he began gigging, recording and teaching in a number of music stores as well as out of his apartment until deciding to pursue music full time. He moved to Denver, CO to complete a Bachelors in Music Technology and was then hired on by Sweetwater Productions, a division of Sweetwater Sound and one of the largest, most successful recording studios in the Midwest.
Chris spent nearly 4 years at Sweetwater as a producer, recording engineer, studio musician and writer. During this time he had the privilege of working with many artists including Augustana, Landon Pigg, Jars of Clay, and Mercy Me. He also wrote for and played on numerous independent albums and hundreds of radio/TV commercials.
Wanting to get back to his favorite State in the world (Colorado) and feeling the urge to 'go freelance', Chris moved to Greeley, CO and opened his own recording and teaching studio. He continues to write and produce music for artists and agencies and is happy to be among the proud JamPlay.com instructors.

"I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!

"With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
