I LOVE THE huge ‘50 licks’ type features that we do, like the one filling much of this issue. Not only does it show the range of our tutors’ stylistic knowledge, dedication and chops, it also lets you play things you love, and try styles you may not be familiar with.
The term ‘rock’ covers so much musical ground. The differences in tempos, feels and approaches is extraordinary; and when you add the stylistic subtleties (sometimes not so subtle) and technical dexterity of the guitarists whose styles Jon Bishop has done such a great job of emulating, it’s staggering.
I’d love to think you would have a go at as many of the licks as possible - and not just the ones you find easy. There’s no real point to this if we don’t try to stretch ourselves.
