Hi Guys

Just a short John Mclaughlin jazz fusion acoustic guitar lick from my youtube shorts. This, as per usual, employs strict alternate picking starting on a “Down stroke”.

Also notice that the phrase starts in the bar with an anacrusis:

The Dominant chord G7 has been altered and resolves nicely to the tonic chord via the notes Eb to E natural.
