Essential Blues-scale Riffs, Part 2: Four Required Classic-rock Licks

In this second installment of metal maestro Nick Bowcott’s Essential Blues-scale Riffs series, Nick turns back the clock a bit, illustrating the evolution of the blues into the classic-rock era that would ultimately birth the higher-octane metal tunes that were covered in the last video. Armed with a PRS CE 24, a Wampler Plexi-Drive Deluxe, a Dunlop Authentic Hendrix ’68 fuzz pedal, and a Blackstar Debut 50R, our resident rock scholar has declared that class is officially in session. Check it out!
