Video Title: Simple Acoustic Blues Guitar Lick in E – Train Whistle Lick
Hey everybody John here with the blues guitar Institute and today I got to tell you that I firmly believe that being a good guitar player is about doing the little things and doing them well and over time they add up to something big you know it adds up to you know what you
Would call a good guitar player you know or a confident player and that’s what we’re aiming for here so along those lines I want to show you a really simple leg that you can use as a stepping stone into other looks longer licks with more melody and movement but this is to me
Like the first step to getting to getting there you know to be able to to improvise in and out of licks and the rhythm like I was doing in the opener so here we go let me uh let me get back to the guitar and I’ll show you exactly
What the lick is note for note and then how to put it into your playing and how to really practice and staying up so the lick is right here in this position which is classic blues territory in the key of e these two notes sounds super bluesy together especially when you bend
With your middle finger and you get that train whistle sound right okay so where am I I’m right here on the seventh fret of the first string which is a B note and then the G note here on catching with my middle finger on the second string so these are the two notes
That I’m dealing with and the lick is nothing more than picking the first string picking the second string and bending up slightly it’s one of those quarter note bins so it’s a between the frets and then I pick up my first finger hit the open e pick up my second finger
Keep the open D and what I love about this lick in particular is not only its simplicity but when you’ve got your hand away from the fretboard and you’re playing these open strings that’s a great time to go back and grab your rhythm you know so you can really keep your rhythm going
And play this little lick and time like this and never miss a beat so practice that really get comfortable with going back and forth between the East shuffle and staying in Thomas very important but um you know really focus in on this leap because it’s it may seem
Simple but it’s super cool and very easy to just throw in between the shuffles but like I said before it becomes a real building block for other licks so with that I hope you have fun with this one I hope you get some use out of it and be
Sure to throw it in your playing whenever you’re just hanging around with acoustic guitar and before we go a quick note I am playing this finger style but you can certainly do this with a pick if you’re a picker so anyway enjoy this one have fun with it and I’ll see you next
Time thanks for tuning in

Fantástic! Greetings from Brasil!
What type of guitar is this ?
Simple sweet lick. Thanks!
Thanks, Great Lick! I can use it!
Muchas gracias por la ayuda … hace poco empece a ver tus vídeos y son de muchas ayuda. Saludos y un fuerte abrazo desde Entre Ríos (Argentina)
Is it just me or does this guitar look tiny
ive been playing for 15 years and never bothered to learn basic things like this. my fingers are numb doing this on a dreadnought with 12s. might have to get a classical with nylon lmao
What guitar are you using?
These great licks have the full range of sounds combining notes with distance and ring that I love to hear. Unfortunately, I have never had the experience to play with folks that play this style of Blues. Jim does a great job demonstrating and pointing out the thought in the licks. Thank you very much for the insight and help.
Does anyone know the tuning on thisone
thanks, P
I liked the quick and simple few notes to learn at a time rather than a full verse of notes .thank you for that .👍☘️
