Guthrie Govan
20 ESSENTIAL
LICKS
LICK 6

JTC SAYS

At this point of this solo the chords are alternating back and forth between a B major and an
A major chord.

Over this Guthrie starts by playing a C# minor pentatonic run that leads into a really cool
sequenced A major 7th arpeggio. But before he gets to the arpeggio sequence ... in typical
Guthrie fashion ... he slips in some chromatic notes! Also pay attention to the chromatic
notes he slips in on the B and E strings after he runs back up the sequenced A major 7th
arpeggio.

Next comes a little phrasing with a bunch of notes that he soulfully bends.

Guthrie then works his way down two more 7th arpeggios on the B and E strings (this time
an E major 7th arpeggio and a C# minor 7th Arpeggio). Then he moves into a long scale
run. Again pay attention to how he doesn’t just run up and down a typical E major scale.
He starts by using all chromatic notes on the E and B string (F#, F, E, D#, D, C#). Then he
continues by playing mostly notes from the E major scale while occasionally throwing in
more chromatic notes.

It’s in adding these random chromatic notes from time to time that makes everything
Guthrie plays sound just a little cooler then if he were to just play straight 5 or 8 note scales.
It’s all about adding “color”!
