Licks in E-Sixth Harmonies-Lesson 1


This exercise focuses on harmonies based around intervals of sixths. This style of licks are very popular in blues and add kind of a jazzy feel to the progression. This is due to the melodic nature of the harmonies. The first set of harmonies revolve around the major third scale and fourth scale degrees of the chord being played over. The last exercise will focus on the major 6th and flatted seventh scale degrees.

The licks that follow are played at the same time as second two bar lick from the last exercise.
