How many different guitar ideas can you create from one lick?
In this lesson I demo how a single C minor 9 arpeggio can generate 10 completely different licks on the fly — no memorization required, just creativity.
This is the same device Jimmy Herring and Derek Trucks use, and once you understand the pool of notes you're working with, it never runs dry.
