“11 Licks in the Key of A” | Beginner to Advanced – Guitar Lesson with Tab

In this lesson, you’ll learn 11 killer licks in the key of A designed to build your soloing vocabulary and improve your fretboard fluency. We’ll start with beginner-friendly licks that emphasize strong melody and rhythm, then gradually work our way into more intermediate and advanced territory—introducing faster runs, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and stylistic variations.

These licks are rooted in the open A chord position and draw from a variety of soloing approaches, including major scale melodies, pentatonic riffs, and blues-infused phrases. Whether you’re just starting to improvise or looking to add some hot new ideas to your next solo, this lesson gives you a wide palette to pull from.

Each lick is demonstrated clearly and broken down note-for-note, with tips on technique, timing, and musical context. Plus, you’ll see how these licks can be easily transposed to other keys using a capo—making them versatile tools for jamming and songwriting.

By the end of the lesson, you’ll have a solid toolkit of A-position licks to spice up your breaks and kick your solos into high gear.
