This Version is just to help everyone with a couple licks they can use that sound great. They are practical and I use them a lot in my playing. They are great if you want to further develop your skills or if you want to fill up a 12-bar with nice licks great for anything you can think of. Be Creative, Inspire, and good luck to anybody who uses them, hopefully you find these licks as useful as I do.
