What are guitar licks, anyway?

A guitar licks is a guitar solo that improvises on the melody or a certain phrase in the piece of music you are playing. It is usually in the middle of a song and is a place for the guitar player to really show his stuff. A good player can just take off and perform his licks on the spot and wow everybody in the audience. A lick can be done in just about any style the band is performing and often turns out to be the heart of the song.
