I participate in a Facebook group called “Guitar Addiction.” One thing that I’d noticed is that there didn’t seem to be much interaction between the members other than the occasional “Nice job” comment, so I decided to learn a lick and post it. I chose an F Mixolydian lick by David Rollins played in position with a lot of stretches. I decided to put my own spin on the lick and play the sequence going up the neck. I also changed the phrasing at the end of the lick and added some chorus to give it a jazz fusion-like sound.
Here’s the original…

It was a lot of fun to learn this lick, put my spin on it, and to interact with David Rollins. He was very cool about it and shared it in various other groups as well. Be sure to check out his website www.rollinsmusic.com.
