3 Doug Aldrich Licks From 1997

Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Three-For-All with 3 Doug Aldrich Licks From 1997. I've noticed a number of requests to feature some of Doug's music, and for those out there unfamiliar with his name - get ready, because he's one hell of a guitarist!

Doug's been on the scene since the mid-1980s, and since that time he's worked with Dio, Whitesnake, House Of Lords, Lita Ford, Lion, W.A.S.P., Hurricane, and a bunch of other artists/bands over the years. His music can also be found in feature films such as Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter and the animated Transformers movie from the mid-1980s. Needless to say, even if you don't know Doug's name before you watch this lesson, you'll surely know who this guy is and his ferocious fretboard talent by the end of this episode.

The ideas shared here include a soulful bending/vibrato phrase that brings Hendrix and Jimmy Page to mind, a shred-worthy scale sequence that you can use with picking and/or legato (along with a few variations), a wicked Em pivot arpeggio phrase, an advanced string-skipped pivot arpeggio finger-twister, and much more!

Needless to say, if you're looking for some new ideas to play around with or maybe searching for a new player to borrow some ideas/inspiration from, look no further than Doug Aldrich. His wicked licks will scuff your fingertips and melt your face!
