5 Licks From Two For The Road<\/h2>\n

While Pat Metheny has elevated the electric guitar in jazz, he has also brought attention to the acoustic guitar and its role in jazz improvisation. One of his most memorable acoustic releases is the duo album he recorded with Charlie Haden, Beyond the Missouri Sky.<\/p>\n

On that record, Pat brings his slippery lines and unique articulation to the acoustic guitar on many of the album\u2019s tracks, including the song Two For the Road. In this lesson, you learn and break down 5 licks from Pat\u2019s solo on that tune.<\/p>\n

Have fun with these licks, learn them in several keys and positions on the guitar, and add them to your next guitar solo. They\u2019ll expand your soloing chops and bring a Metheny vibe to your lines at the same time.<\/p>\n
