So yeh you have a canne way of knowing what’s on my mind

Yup these are licks I have wanted to learn for a long time but just didn’t know how to describe them. Fancy that it’s just a Bag O’ Fancy Chromatic Licks. Well I never would have guessed that.

You really are a cleaver, no that can’t be right that’s used for choppin meat. Ah yes Clever Educator. That’s it, boy do I feel bad today. hammer Now where is that coffee maker. coffee

Nice licks! These should come in handy. I used to play that first one often as it’s an integral part of “Earl’s Breakdown”. So even Earl thought these licks sounded cool :sunglasses:

I have been drilling the chromatic scales b to low d as part of working on stuff, the 1st lick was a great application. I also got a Ben Eldridge lick out of it, love it when stuff starts to fit together. Thanks

Try combining lick#2 and lick #1 by playing the first two measures of lick #2 followed by lick #1 for another variation which is a fancy four measure fill.
