Blues Soloing In E Using Pentatonics 3 And 4, And Not Box 1...

  • This is a short video based on a question from a viewer who was struggling with soloing over a blues in E... which I understand (because I had the same problem when I was new to soloing.)
    E is an odd key because, on the low end, Box 1 of the Pentatonic scale is in open position, which throws many people off, and if you bring it up an octave it's in 12th position which is already pretty high and squeaky, and probably not where you want to start a solo...
    So, what to do?
    This is a GREAT musical problem to solve... so watch and let's solve it together...

    Nice, Griff. I've been "extending" in to box 4 for years... Just never put any logic behind it. Thanks for your time and expertise. Much appreciated.

    There was an "OH SNAP" moment in there..Had to do with how the 5th string pentatonic pattern ties in with middle box patterns..DANG .Thanks.. Whole lot of "just trying to figure this out" went to.."I already got this" LOL..And THAT.... is VERY COOL

    This is great. You should do a video that has 1 lick per box, and you do a call and response for us to a jam track. You play it, then we play it.

    Hey Griff, thanks for the video. If I practiced for 100 years I don't think I could put notes together as well as you do,, anyway thanks again.

    Griff... Thank you as always for a great lesson. Don't mean to be picky but I think, and perhaps I'm mistaken, at around 5:47 you say you've got the "13th and 15th" frets, but I think you mean the 15th and 17th in regard to the extension of the E pentatonic? In any case, a very helpful lesson!

      Wouldn't surprise me, I sometimes mis-speak and don't catch it later. Thanks.

    Dumb question, I am so confessed. I am under the impression that if you are in the key of E you would play the C# pentatonic blues scale? Also, I only know box one, I skipped the other boxes and just learned the two extend boxes, which I thought included all five boxes, so maybe that is causing me problems.

    • @bluesguitarunleashed
      @bluesguitarunleashed  5 років тому

      If you are truly in the key of E major, then C# pentatonic minor is the same as E pentatonic major - they are relative, meaning they have the same notes in them. However, if you are playing "Blues In E", then you are not really in the key of E major, so you want to use E minor pentatonic, not C# minor pentatonic (at least at first.) Watch this video for an explanation of keys in the blues sense: ua-cam.com/video/uUoSpbey3eo/v-deo.html

    You call that pattern Box 1in my music book its Box 5 so what is the real box 1 because pattern 2 would change depending what box is 1 confused

    • @bluesguitarunleashed
      @bluesguitarunleashed  5 років тому

      Not everyone names them the same, doesn't matter, as long as you know what you're talking about. However, in my experience most folks describe the boxes the way I do... so I'm going to say it's the most common simply because I have a lot of experience with this and that's how I see it most often.
