101 Amazing Licks - Lick 65

Origin: Originally conceived by Robert Johnson and played with a slide in “Come on in My Kitchen,” Jimi Hendrix borrowed the lick and made it famous as a lead-in at the start of “Red House.”
Theory: Pretty much taken from the B blues scale (B–D¬–E–F–F#–A), Hendrix adds a bluesy major 7th (A#[Bb]) for extra chromaticism in measure 2.
Playing Tip: Apply heavy vibrato to the bends in measure 1, and to make the line sing, keep solid time throughout.
