Arlen Roth is a SuperGenius guitar teacher who invented the “Hot Licks” series of instructional DVDs. My favorite Arlen Roth video is “150 Electric Hot Licks for Rock, Blues, Country, Rockabilly and R&B Guitar.” A “lick” is a short musical passage that punctuates a song. Some songs are made from many licks linked together.
