GuitarTalk "The Lick" Challenge!
️- Edited
Haha, no - I came up with this progression the other day and still haven't found the middle 8 section I need to turn it into a song. And when it ran in my head I was like, hey, The Lick will fit that... 
Thanks, guys.
Also, beside providing proof, yesterday's browsing history may help for those who need drums:
Yup, i may have some cheese for this wine.
Found a drum loop that piqued my interest. That sparked some bass groove.. (well.. as far as guitarists getting bass groove go).. and i have laid down a real simple rhythm guitar. Worked in "the lick".. so now i need to wrap my head around lead fills. All in all.. going ok methink. Not my normal fodder, but enjoying the change
Bluetone Sjoe. Really, really nice. I wouldn't complain about the drum track - in this instance it's just a tool after all (don't tell any of your drummer mates I said that).
Love the playing – super solid. Everything comes together so well. Think you may have have a stupendously wondrous decision in where you included 'The Lick.' As to how, the change in tone you used also makes The Lick work extra hard and adds an extra dimension to the piece overall.
The bar is set, once again, very high.

Can you embellish the lick a little? e.g with a hammer-on or trill?
studmissile i would imagine yes. In my interpretation anyways.. but I will let Bluetone give us his thoughts
guidothepimmp Me? It's fine with me. As long as The Lick is recognisably there, all good.
Bluetone 
yeh. The challenge idea came from you, so just making sure it fits in with what was envisaged 
studmissile I've mashed it up realllll good. Maybe beyond recognition - I think I've reversed the challenge and made it a challenge just to figure out where I used it 
For me, that's the beauty of these challenges, let the creative juices flow where they go.
Hokay folks,
I am done fretting (mind the pun) over this track. It is what it is. I am now officially fresh out of ideas
So here is GTPs "The Lick". This round I went completely out of my comfort zone, It ended up with a lounge kinda vibe which surprised me somewhat. Largely clean guitar, tried to get a bass groove thing going, and all of that on top of a drum sample I picked up on Landr. I couldn't edit the drums much being theyre a sample.
Lead was a tele. At some point I realised I was on bridge pup, I really wanted to be on neck pup, so I switched then and for you attentive folk, you may note there is a tonal change to a sweeter lead tone. I couldn't be arsed about redoing the bridge piece again.. so it stays.. Hidden in the back is an electric organ filling some space, and my boy cameo'ed by shaking the pepper in the background.. Thanks Blue for the cool challenge!
guidothepimmp Nice! Love the bass vibe in there - I'm reminded of the Beastie Boys' In Sound From Way Out album. 
guidothepimmp Nice one, another early bird!
I havn't done a thing since my first attempt a couple weekends ago - work and birthdays - but I'll have something for sunday. Likely gonna be half assed (as usual) but a foot tapper hopefully

Nice one @NorioDS !
Almost done, it's an older entry with a few embellishments and 'the lick!'
studmissile Nice! I'm getting there too - I think @Bluetone has infected us with earlybird-itus Usually I'd still be tweaking at 23:58:59
...though, I think it's to preserve sanity as much as anything. I really don't enjoy tracking and then listening back how much I don't practice 
Done! Can you hear the lick?
