The Lick

You guys see this?

OK, I watched this a while ago and liked it but.........................I just stepped into an elevator and started whisteling and guess what came out. I got back to my desk and while waiting for my PC to boot started tapping on my desk. Guess what rythm it was.

Now I know why everyone plays it. It just sticks.

That video is awesome!

I'm glad to see that so many people have transcribed my lick ;-)

[merritt stone]

haha, this is awesome!

I like how, even though it's basically the same licks, it varies so much. Some of the samples I was super into while others sounded so vanilla and bad.

That must be one of those "essential" licks I've often heard about.

[Drumbler]

Obviously, the musician that played it the fastest is the best.



(That is a great clip.)

So who played it first? Does anyone know?

[M-ster]

Everybody got it?

Makes me wonder how many more licks show up all over the place like that!

[JonnyPac]

Cool video. I've never played that lick till just now... No wonder I'm not famous. lol

[SwingSwangSwung]

I don't know if I'm more impressed with how many players use that lick, or that fact that someone went out and found all those examples and put it into a video.

If that is what is keeping me from fame I'm using it starting tonight.
