This lick is super fast… I won’t lie… but you don’t have to play it that way.
I stole it from Gary Moore fair and square, and it’s even right up to the limit of what I can play, speedwise, without some practice.
But, like I said, you can slow it down and use the movements for your own ideas, and get some insights into how these faster licks are put together from the blues/rock masters.
Hope you enjoy it!
The TAB is HERE if you want it

Thank you so much for this sweet lick. Yes it’s fast but as you say sounds just as good slower. When played a few hundred times with the right timing, it will speed up automatically.
Nice one Gazza, immortalised in a lick.
Thanks Griff.
I like that Iron Horse t-shirt. I used to work at Big Dog Motorcycles.
Loved the lick, especially the B at the end,
With the tab switching on and off it was hard to pick the riff. Can you make the riff downloadable?
If anyone knows Tosha, please tell her Victoria is searching for her. We lost touch years ago.
this is gold! thanks!!
Hi Griff
Thanks for explaining about speed of playing being easy when its your own riff. I had the pleasure of meeting Gary in 1974 when he played at The Nottingham Boat Club England where I worked. He gave me a go on his Les Paul after a gig which was given to him by Peter Green. He told me not to keep pulling off for speed but use my pick more. Still trying to master the art after all this time but you help loads!!
wow!!
first hand knowledge ! from the man himself ! boy were you working at the right place at the right time !
priceless ! and thank you for sharing the tip !!
cheerio !
Thanks for showing a very good lick and breaking it down for a true “slow hand”
That was great I like how it sounded when doubled up and Sirius Radio BB KING BLUES CHANNEL 74. (SOMEONE) every day usually mid day and late afternoon great song!! Keep em coming
Nice Lick. Grif’s ice cream?? Ironic!

First used by Eric Clapton on his Cream version of “Crossroads”.
How did you get that guitar tone?!
Very cool! I like this kind of stuff. I just need to get the fingers to fly a little faster.
