Using the Lick from "Groundspeed" in other Contexts
This is a foundational Scruggs Lick. It can be clearly heard in John Hardy and in the B section of Groundspeed. It's more versatile than that, and a lot of fun to play.
Can you see how this is still using some notes of that original chord shape? Licks won't always use every note of a chord.
This 2 measure lick can work in a lead, backup, or as a fill. Watch the video to hear it in action and get a breakdown. Practice with the Tunefox player below.
