Sweet Little Lines


Here are some lead guitar licks that I'm a sucker for. Mostly simple, yet appropriate, these lines grab my attention like harmonies, strings, walk-downs or pedal steel.  

Rilo Kiley - Paint's Peeling (The Execution of All Things)

Rodney Parker & 50 Peso Reward - Take the Wheel (Blow the Soot Out)

Pedro the LionBad Diary Days (It's Hard to Find A Friend); Options (Control)

Richard Buckner - Jewelbomb (Since)

Starflyer 59 - Indiana (Gold)

Lucero - The Last Song; Here At the Starlite (Tennessee)

Wilco - Via Chicago (Summerteeth)

What tends to get you within a song? Any certain instrumentation or arrangement?

Also, my good friend Burgers made a list of new music he's excited about. Check it out:

Wetdog
Grass Widow
Zola Jesus
Pantaloof
