You know your G chord…you know your C chord…but shouldn’t they know each other? Help them get introduced by learning these 6 hot transition licks!

That should be a fun change of pace!

Is anyone else finding that Ben’s “shrunken” arm is distracting?

Ben
I find these back up lessons quite valuable. The 6th interval lesson is terrific. In that lesson I find the application section particularly helpful. Some application examples would be appreciated here as well. Big help for non-musical types like me! Thanks.

@BanjoBen. Would you use these as backup or lead. And are any of these licks are part of the arrangement of any other lessons. (I don’t recognize them).

I’m thinking I Would you have to know exactly where the c chord change and count in 2 bars back to get proper timing to use them?

Thanks

Yep :wink:

I’m sure I have some scattered through some lessons, but probably not all the licks.

That would be the easy way to do it, and after a little while you don’t have to count back but rather feel that the song is going to the C chord in a couple measures. BUT, here’s the fun part…if you start early or start late, keep playing because you’re liable to play some of the coolest stuff you’ve ever played. There are NO rules that say you have to change when the band does. It’s a good idea to do so most of the time, but it’s also good to arrive early or late at times.
