The Great Lick Dissection Masterclass

What’s it about?

Take an idea, rip it apart, and make something new. This is The Great Lick Dissection, where Igor Paspalj helps you unlock the skills needed to transform basic ideas into inspiring new creations.

Across three hard-rock backings, Igor lays down five long-form licks. He then combines technical tweaks and accessible music theory to mutate each example into many more.

In five deep-dive lessons, Igor explains the thinking behind his approach, showing you how each dissection works, and how you can do the same with your own licks.

What will I learn?

Having the seedling of an idea is great, but knowing how to plant it and watch it bloom is another thing altogether. Igor will show you how to overcome this obstacle. Whether you’re writing or shredding a soaring solo on the spot, you’ll always know what to do next.

You will learn how to harness unlimited sonic potential using dynamic tweaks and changes in articulation and by moving ideas vertically or horizontally across the neck.

This Masterclass is designed to help you escape restrictive creative boxes. By learning how to change positions within scales, and by making the most of a range of techniques, you will do just that.

What theory is covered?

As well as many classic rock staples, Igor also covers ideas from blues and jazz, opening up a wider palette of colours for you with each lesson and lick.

• Diminished scale
• Pentatonic scale
• Transposition
• Using open strings
• Sextuplet rhythms

What techniques are covered?

This Masterclass makes use of a range of technical ideas and does so within a natural context away from exercises.

• Hybrid picking
• Pinch harmonics
• Bends

Who is this for?

The Great Lick Dissection is an opportunity for players to live up to their creative potential. This is more than a way to forge new ideas, it's an all-access blueprint to produce an ever-expanding number of incredible licks.
