I had a question from Chuck (one of our fearless forum moderators) about my choice for a lick for Position 3 (using the Blues Solo Construction Kit method) over Clapton’s “Have You Ever Loved A Woman” which is in Bb.

After looking through what he had used so far, I chose lick 1 for position 3, but I love Albert King (and as far as I’m concerned, Albert King or Freddie King licks are almost always the best answer 🙂

      Guys: hate to say this but I just wing it. I listen to what’s ilikebest usually Albert K because he’s easiest for me. Playing a few times, and then play it the way it makes me feel right. Add some stuff I like as well, and that’s it. Only problem is it never sounds the same way twice.

      Just a little critique. A 4 minute 29 second video with 3 minutes and 19 seconds of talking?

      when you are playing rhythm part of a song….how do you know when to start a solo and then jump back into the rhythm to continue onward or even start a new solo as you get into the ZONE….

      Well, I was trying to use Position 3, Lick 5 but now that I hear you use Lick 1, I agree that it is probably the best choice. It also leaves me off where I want to be.

      Thank you so much!
