The following licks use notes from the Pattern 1 Extension at the fifth position. Any of these licks can be used to improvise against the chord progressions in A. Be careful to select the correct Pattern 1 (and hence Pattern 1 Extension) starting position to suit the key of each progression. Consult the chart in Lesson 40.
Once you are familiar with the notes of Pattern 1 and Pattern 1 Extension, it is possible to slide up or down to any note in the pattern. This example demonstrates long slides on the 2nd and 3rd strings. Experiment with other long slides using any notes from these patterns.
This lick features the use of quick slides along with triplet rhythms.
