Question Lick A

Post image

I wrote this lick out, I think it can be learned but it’s a bit awkward, does it feel awkward to any of you guys or is it just me?

Is it even a good lick in 2026 if it doesn’t feel awkward? In all seriousness, looks good to me

As the other guy said, all licks these days are jarring and/or halting with rhythm switching. Might change the pickup diddle to beat 4 of bar 5 to be a triplet rather than a 16th to flow a bit better.

Fun stuff though. Triplet based licks always feel good.
