https://banjobenclark.com/lessons/pick-a-lick-the-3rd-most-important-guitar-lick-guitar-intermediate This is the lick that really starts making your flatpicking sound like bluegrass flatpicking. I’ll teach you 10 variations of this classic bluesy move, then show you how to use it in various contexts!

Ben, I’m one of those guys that was amongst the first of your Gold Pick members like 10-12 years ago. That was for banjo. Now I’m called on to play guitar (better). MORE of these pick a licks! Pick a lick #2 was six years ago! These modular licks are great for building breaks. Thanks
