Welcome to Play Blues Guitar 5: Lick Lexicon for intermediate to late intermediate students of blues guitar.

The Lick Lexicon curriculum is comprised of select blues guitar lessons from the educators' existing TrueFire course libraries.
Music is a language. In the same way that words and sentences are connected to form stories, musical licks and phrases are connected to form solos. And just like any language, the more robust your musical vocabulary is, the more interesting and diverse your solos will be. The video guitar lessons in this core course will equip you with an essential vocabulary of licks along with the technical skills required to take your soloing skills to the next level.
Play Blues Guitar 5: Lick Lexicon is organized into 2 sections. In the first section, you'll work on taking a series of licks and actually building a solo with them. Section 2 is full of Spicy Licks—and learning these will help you keep your playing fresh and interesting.
When you've completed the lessons here in Lick Lexicon, you'll find more lessons focused on building your vocabulary in Lick Vocabulary, also a Play Blues Guitar 5 core course.
The educators demonstrate all of the key examples over jam tracks (where and when applicable) to simulate a real-world application, in a musical context. Key examples are also tabbed and notated for your practice, reference and study purposes. Take as much time as you need to work through each video guitar lesson before moving on to the next lesson. If you want to dig deeper or wider into any of the topics covered in this core course, check out the rest of the courses in the Blues Learning Path where you'll find more examples, techniques and insight from top TrueFire educators.
