Quote Lick #8 - Tukish March as kickoff in G

This melody from Mozart makes a nice surprise kickoff.



Quote Lick #7 - Peter Gun

The classic spy riff. This one sounds nice played very close to the bridge.



Quote Lick #6 - In the Hall of the Mountain King

This dark and spooky quote comes from Grieg's 'In the Hall of the Mountain King.

You can work it over Gm or G (will clash a little over a G major chord but if you're simply using it as a quick, amusing quote it can work).



Quote Lick #5 - Entrance of the Glaidiators (circus music)

This is a quote from 'Entrance of the Gladiators' by Czeck composer Julius Fučík. The piece is commonly used for circus music and the entrance of clowns.



Quote Lick #4 - Daytripper (key of G)

Daytripper again but in the key of G (for 'taking the easy way out')



Quote Lick #3 Daytripper (key of E)

A quote for the key of E. A one way ticket...yeah!



Quote Lick #2 - Brown Eyed Girl

Say you've got a atune that jumps from G to C to G to D ('Boil The Cabbage Down' maybe?) and you want to throw in a recognizable quote for a few laughs. Try the old classic 'Brown Eyed Girl' riff.



Quote Lick #1 - Dixie

Quotes can be alot of fun. Try throwing a dash of 'Dixie' into your next break.
