Thomas McRocklin
Thomas McRocklin started playing the guitar at the age of 4!
By the time he was 7, he was already performing on stage, often in places where children weren’t normally allowed. He’d have to wait in his dad’s car, right up until the last moments, until it was time to grab his axe, jump on stage and start shredding!

In this lesson I’m going to teach you a lick that uses blazing 3 note per string patterns and combines pentatonic and minor sounds as you switch between the strings.
When most people try combining pentatonic and minor sounds they tend to play a blues lick followed by a minor lick or vice versa, but I prefer to jump back and forth between the two scales seamlessly to create unique sounding phrases.
I do this a lot in my playing and I hope that it will inspire you to create some unique sounding licks of your own!

Instead I’ll show you some cool new shapes and patterns to use which will force you into using new note choices and phrasing options to help you break out of your habits and breath new life into your playing!
