20 Scott Henderson Licks

Unlock the secrets of Scott Henderson’s signature fusion style with this collection of 20 essential licks.

We’ll break down and analyze each lick to understand what makes his phrasing so unique — from the scales and arpeggios he favors to his expressive articulation, use of chromaticism, added tensions, substitutions, and more.

The course is split into two parts:

    - Part 1: 10 licks over static minor 7 and dominant 7 chords
     - Part 2: 10 licks over a funk-fusion blues progression

You’ll explore a wide palette of scales and modes including pentatonic, dorian, melodic minor, lydian dominant, altered, diminished, and beyond.

Each lick comes with clear explanations, theory insights, and practical tips — so you’ll not only learn the notes, but also how to internalize the concepts and apply them in your own improvisation.

Let’s get started and take your fusion playing to the next level!
