Lick of the Day is a must-have app for guitar players who want to continuously improve their skills and broaden their repertoire in a fun and engaging way. Many Lick Packs are presented in sets of two volumes per genre, where the second volume builds on the concepts and techniques that were presented in the first. Lick of the Day is a free download on the iTunes App Store, and free Licks are available within each Lick Pack so you can check out courses hands-on before you buy. We're also featuring a new Lick here each week.
