This may have been asked/answered previously but....

In both the Slow Blues & Shuffle Feel Blues Solo Construction kits, Griff presents licks that he calls Position licks, numbering them for where they apply in the 12 bar form...Position 1 licks, Position 2 licks, etc.

What makes a lick a Position 1 lick or a position 2 lick, etc? How do you look at other licks & determine what position that they would apply to?

As mentioned this may have been asked and/or answered previously and I've overlooked it

For those 2 courses he used licks he found that were in those positions.

Some by others and some of his own.

In his “How To Improvise Blues Solos” course he discusses the qualities of a lick and rotates the same 5 licks through all 5 positions.

That course may better shed some light on what makes a lick a good fit for a given position.

Thank you for your response.

I looked at the lesson list for 'How To Improvise Blues Solos" and thought that might give me some ideas. Without reviewing that course, I think that I would have to have to look at the notes in a lick and how they apply to the chord progression; it seems to me that would determine which position it be in

Time to investigate further - our journey in playing guitar never ends.....

You need look no further than the first lesson, “The 4 Qualities of a Blues Lick”, to see that the chords involved is the 3rd quality.
