Lick of the Week 7: Sliding Fourths

If memory serves, I first stole this lick or something like it from Colin James. If you're not familiar with his music, look him up, it's awesome!

Double stops like this are sooo tasty, I can't get enough of them. For extra effect, make sure you line these up over top of the correct chord. For instance, the demonstration is in A major, but you might want to play these over a D major chord.

Well, if that's the case, move the lick up to the D major position (10th fret) and play it there instead, you'll be glad you did! When you move it around in this manner, you can use it to target any major chord you wish.
