Hello Murphy, Casey or anyone using the Kickstart lessons,

I don't want to get off in the wrong direction, but I am having a little trouble understanding how many licks to a vamp?

The first song Blue Rridge Cabin Home is a chord progression of 4 beats (4 vamps) G,C,D

The licks are; 1 g, 2 C, and 2 D.....back to 1 g lick.

Is it safe to say that 1 g lick equals 4 vamps and 2 c and d licks equals the same? Or am I looking at this when I probably should be sleeping?

Thanks,

Dave

After watching Murphy and Casey playing tougher a few times, I realize that the G lick equals the same 4 beats on the guitar. Playing 2 rolls of C and D also match the 4 beats on the guitar. I'm not sure beats is the right term? But hopefully I'm on the right track? Appreciate any thoughts…..thanks.
