Great lesson on blues improvisation by Adam Gussow,
but he didn't include a tab! Check the midi to learn
the rhythm and see how it's played.


The three main licks: (s = slide, ~ = scoop bend,
' = half step bend, " = whole step bend)

-2 -2" -2 s(-2 -3') -2

-2 -2" -2 s(-1 -2") -2

-2 s(-1 -2") s(-1 -2) s(-2 -3') -2


Between main licks you improvise. For example the
lick at 4:45 of the midi:

-2" -3' ~(-4' -4) -2" -2

Another at 5:37:

~(-4 -4' -4 -4') -3 s(-1 -2") -2
