GENERAL NOTES:
- () Indicates full bend
- [] Indicates slide, in this case with 3rd finger
SPECIFIC NOTES:
NOTE 1: This is one of Alvin Lee`s trademark licks.
After playing the first note (A) with the 3rd finger
lay the 1st finger flat across the three treble strings
slide then hammer the next notes. It is a difficult
lick to master but well worth the practice required.
Rent the movie Woodstock and you can catch a glance of
the fingering.
NOTE 2: After playing the second note of this lick slide
down with the first finger to the 5th fret on the third string.
