100 Guitar Licks

General information about Licks & Improvisation
Licks are short figures which are usually 1-2 bars in duration. These
figures are first practiced individually and then learned off by heart.
Eventually, you then apply these figures practically.
A solo often consists of several consecutively played licks. The
advantage of this is that you can recall these ideas precisely in
different live situations and can easily transpose them on a guitar by
moving them into different keys.
Improvisation can, generally speaking, be compared to learning a new

language: First you learn individual words, then you put the words
together to form phrases, and then whole sentences.
Eventually, you don’t have to think about words, grammar etc.
anymore and can speak freely about your thoughts on a topic.
The same thing happens with improvisation. The goal is to gradually

think less about scales, arpeggios etc. and instead to also tell a story
while playing.
The more you try this, the more freedom you will gain in terms of
rhythm, dynamics, expression and phrasing.
Tip: You can of course transcribe the following licks differently for
yourself, or phrase and vary them differently. All licks can also be
watched and played along to via my YouTube channel:
www.youtube.com/c/antonkorenjak.
I hope that you will have a lot of fun with this guitar licks,
experience a positive musical development and at the same time
will find a companion on the way to your personal goal!
