Magic 7th's

by Guitarslinger124 (Jul 07, 2009)

Hey there, guitarslinger here. I came up with this lick to demonstrate how awesome 7ths are and what they can add to a riff, progression or lick. First I simply tabbed out the arpeggios and chord changes so you can see what it is you're playing. Then I tabbed it out as it should be played. Enjoy!

Play it fairly slow and let every note ring until you switch finger position. I finger pick the whole lick, but play it the way that is comfortable for you.
