Hi! Recently I've finished some of the Basic Blues Licks Series 1-2-3 and has helped me a ton, after that also I've been trying to learn different licks and try my hardest on to make them something different.

Here is my first try taken from my blog, after finishing the Blue Licks Series : https://soundcloud.com/keys-873929243/awk

Also on another topic, is there a site or something where I can do ear training? I tried searching on this website but I couldn't find anything.

I would like to learn some basic songs as a start but only by ear so I don't have to rely on tabs so much.

Thank you.

I like your timing. You rhythm is pretty good here. The only thing I hear in this you need to work on is your vibrato. Your pitch when bending is not quite there. You are a little flat & need to bend a little higher to get to the intended pitch.

But, kudos to you for creating something & posting it!

[p]Right this way! All these will help. But the last 2 in particular are about ear training.

[p]That's a great idea. Pick GT song, then just listen to the full performance without looking at the notation. Try to figure it out then use the notation to see how accurate you are!

Merry Xmas!

Thank you so much! You always go above and beyond helping me!

Also thank you for listening to my piece, I will keep in mind vibrato and the bending, so I will practice harder on that.

Wow that's a lot, I will study it and take my time on it and put it to use with the GT songs.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!
