Sometimes when I play the blues it sounds sad, and other times it sounds happy. It really does matter how you feel when you improvise the blues.

This is a simple progression in G so I decided to play a few guitar licks over the progression and see what would happen. I started out with a classic guitar lick and then went exploring up the fretboard to see where my mind would take me.

I've played better, but it's all about feeling and emption, and getting the guitar to cry with some heavy string bends.
