The Blues Brothers – Peter Gunn

Speaking of Chuck Berry, here is a blues scorcher that makes good use of Berry’s classic lick that alternates between a bend on the G string and double stops on the B and high E strings. 

Although Steve Cropper only plays rhythm guitar on the original recording, you will find a very cool bluesy solo on the Play Guitar Hits that will fit nicely with the E minor pentatonic vamp that the whole song is built around. A few notes have been taken from E major, the rest is pure minor pentatonic blues going from the first position to the octave using a few notes in between. Great licks abound, including a killer one with a bend of the G string along with a non-bended note on the B.

Every lick here is a precious one to add to your blues vocabulary, so you know what to do!
