Here's a G chromatic lick that is both ascending and descending. It can be heard in measure 4 of 'Long Journey Home - Cross picking'.


Chromatic licks often sound silly or carnival like. Associating personal feelings with sounds and how your perceive them will help you to later identify them by ear in other contexts. So for the next lick you learn, whether it's chromatic, pentatonic, or bluesy, think 'how does this make me feel?' or 'what does this remind me of?'. The answer will help you begin to categorize these sounds and make connections that strengthen your aural skills.
