This lick is a little more advanced than most that I’ve posted. It is very technically challenging and if you haven’t worked much with pentatonics before the coordination can get a little tricky. But! Practice very, very slowly and anyone is possible of playing this. If you have questions or requests please leave them in the comments section and I will accommodate.
Points for practicing this lick:
- Start with D-7 pentatonic
- Move to Db7 Hexatonic triads, using Db and B ( G Natural)
- Resolve to C pentatonic beginning with G
Enjoy!
Licks are powerful — but only when you know where they fit.
A single lick can inspire you… but real progress happens when you understand how licks fit into a bigger system.
The Jazz Piano Roadmap shows you how jazz pianists actually progress — and where things like licks belong inside comping, solo piano, and improvisation.
