Whether you want to be Steve Vai duelling with a young blues player or Eric Clapton in his 80’s rock era, some good quality rock guitar licks can put you head and shoulders above the rest. I’ve compiled a few rock guitar licks here that will amaze your friends.
Rock Guitar Lick 1-EVH Style
Cycle this lick to get a cool sound in any uptempo rock or blues solo. Example in key of Am.
E---5-----------5----------------
B-----8P5--------8P5-----------
G----------8-----------8---------
D---------------------------------

E---------------------------------
Rock Guitar Lick 2- Chuck Berry Style
This lick will fit into just about any rock and roll/uptempo 12 bar blues. Example in A.

Rock Guitar Lick 3- Hendrix Style
I had Hendrix in mind with this example but you can find it being used by countless other guitarists. Example in Am.

Rock Guitar Lick 4- Zakk Wylde Style
A tough lick requiring lots of speed to get it to sound like Zakk, although it sounds cool in its own right also. Cycle it over and over for best effect. Good luck! Example in AM
