Is It Okay to Play the Same Licks All the Time?

GUITAR CHEFS.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is, stop being lazy.

If you actually pay attention to any great guitarist like John Mayer, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson, whoever…

You’ll notice they reuse a lot of the same licks, over and over again.

You can literally find multiple live performances where they play almost identical phrases in different songs or solos. And that’s not a bad thing.

Every musician develops a certain vocabulary of go-to phrases that feel natural under their fingers and represent their sound.

But for most of you, the reason you play the same licks all the time is because you have no vocabulary to begin with.

You’re stuck inside the same pentatonic box, recycling the same few shapes because it’s all you know.

So yeah, if that’s you, then you 100% should learn new licks, expand your phrasing, and expose yourself to new styles and techniques.

By the way, it’s okay for you to steal licks from your favourite guitar players.

But I know almost none of you will do that because you don’t actually care that much about sounding better.

What A Train Taught Me About Improvising Guitar Solos

GUITAR CHEFS.

I know this sounds stupid, but I promise this concept will change the way you solo.

What you have to understand is that music is constantly in motion.

I live beside a train track, and it actually pi**es me off. It runs at random fu***ng hours, like 2 a.m. on a Sunday morning.

But it actually gave me a way to think about improvising.

Music is like a train. Each cart is a different chord, and the whole thing keeps moving whether you’re ready or not.

If you want to jump in one of the carts, you have to jump BEFORE the cart is in front of you because if you jumped WHILE it’s in front of you, you’ll end up in the wrong cart, or simply crash and die.

You have to anticipate your jump. And this is a lot like targeting chord tones.

When you’re improvising, you need to anticipate the next chord so you can land on the right chord tones before the harmony changes.

You can’t wait until the chord sounds because then you’ll be too late. You’ll get stuck looking for notes.

You have to know what those notes are gonna be BEFORE the chord sounds.

People ask me sometimes what I think about when I’m improvising. I think about the chords of the future so I can outline them.
