WinZilla \m/ Lick entry ( New Chappers Competition) by Surjo

Hi guys,
This post is being written with me in an exceptionally happy mood. REASON?? Well, this post is about the first time that I have been able to achieve something on an international level for guitar!! There was this competition online on youtube asking for the best lick. I will explain what a lick is later on in the post. Anyway, the guys were giving out an undisclosed prize, the person organizing this contest is a big shot guitar god from England, regularly plays with Malmsteen and so on, so it's a biggish deal. Anyway, there were more than 200 entries worldwide, and I made the top 10. I didn't win it, so not going to be offered mysterious undisclosed goods, but I did make the top 10.. Feels damn good to see your name( youtube user id) on the final list. Thanks to Girish Ramesh for the news. :)

Next thing I guess is, what is a lick man?? Well, this is not the same lick as use tongue and gross people out, although it can have it's uses in the bedroom. Whoa, major digression.
A lick in guitar terminology is like a phrase. Just like you use phrases to make sentences, we use licks to make complete solos. As a matter of fact, positioning of licks in a solo is called phrasing!! So licks are short sweet things, as you can see in this video that it is only 13 seconds long. This lick has a more bluesy approach to it, which is an approach I favour a whole deal.
