This blues guitar lesson aims to help you with extending your knowledge of the fingerboard/fret board on the guitar.  

Please remember:  This video is a concept video not so much a lesson on how to learn a new lick.  You can take this concept and use it for anything you already know as well as anything new you learn.

I think one of the biggest limitations to learning blues guitar licks is most people tend to only play the lick in one spot that they learned it in, which can sound pretty samey after awhile - both to the audience and to the player. 

Learning anything new is a good thing but not extending the licks to different positions on the guitar will lock you into habits of just playing "what you know and where you know" which could end up making you feeling stale. 

One thing that will enhance your Fret board knowledge is to find 3, 4 or more different ways to play the same thing. 

This video is me in real time trying to work out where to find the spots to play the same lick and how it can really change the way it sounds as well as being way more challenging.  This will help your Ear, Brain and Hands to expand over the Fretboard and break out of habits. 

Hope this concept helps someone. :)
