Spotlight Licks: Bruce Pennington



This "Spotlight Lick" is brought to you by local guitar guru Bruce Pennington. He has been a top guitar player in Augusta for a good time. He has played in local bands like Catboy, Hunter and Captain Trips, to name a few. He is a master of technique and is a very well versed guitar player. He came to me with a F# minor pentatonic lick. The lick involves string skipping and wide stretches. The idea is to go up and comeback down backwards. You can pick every note or use hammer ons going up and pull offs coming back. Practice it slowly and cleanly at first, making sure you hear the notes and are not sloppy. Once you get moving on this thing you will love it!!! Thanks Bruce!!!
