20 Rock Licks With Attitude

It's time to pull out your best guitar faces and adopt the classic power-stance position because these licks seriously ROCK and require you to summon every ounce of ATTITUDE you possess! Tony Martinez debuts; bringing you 20 of his top grittiest raw and 'all out' rock licks with something for both intermediate and advanced players.

These licks are less about accuracy and more about digging into the notes with raw tenacity and presence. Inside these 20 licks you'll find Tony mixing up major and minor pentatonics with the blues scale to produce a wide range of rock sounds. Making good use of the Mixolydian and Dorian modes with chromatic passing notes Tony combines technical ability with melodic and harmonic interest.

There are simpler phrases for the more intermediate players and streams of fast ascending sextuplets with tricky position shifts for advanced players. A few licks are reminiscent of the likes of Guthrie Govan and Steve Morse, with a few featuring tapping, pedal tones, three note per string alternate picking licks and plenty of classic rock shred.

For those of who are not at this level but are looking to reach this style of playing there are bonus lick notes to help you to understand the thinking behind some of these licks, and clear slow videos of each and every lick to help you study them and practise.

As ever, we have included everything you need to practise and perfect the material in this package. There are video and audio tracks for you to watch/listen and study, accurately transcribed TAB/notation for you to analyse and master as well as backing tracks for you to practise every lick to, and jam out your own solos! We've even included some text notes to help you really get these parts down!
