- In this lesson, I'll show you how to get to the IV chord of a blues progression using altered chords, the altered scale, and ii-V-Is. This concept is frequently used by jazz-influenced blues guitarists like Robben Ford, Josh Smith, Matt Schofield, and Chris Cain.

outstanding lesson! I think your triad lesson really helped me more than anything I've done in a long time. As you're going through all these different ways to play through the changes from the I to the IV really studying triads made it a lot more accessible.
Jamey, you are genius! I’ve learnt more about the theory, the approach and playing the blues in an afternoon of watching you videos than I have in the last 5 years! Awesome 🤩
There’s hours of content here to digest and practice, in easily broken down bite sized sections.
Thank you!
Thank you and you’re welcome! Glad you found the lesson helpful.
I will keep reading and practising until I get this.❤ You are awesome to do this. A kid at school gave me live at the Regal in about 1967. My head spun around. Met BB 5 years after a show. He chatted for 2 Hours. A kind generous man. I did not understand when he explained his tone was in his fingers. I really miss him.
So many great ideas packed into one short video. Jayzuz. Muchas Gracias!
Thanks and you're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Great lesson. You are doing such a good job at teaching. Really one of the best I've come across. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Thank you so much and you’re welcome!
Thank you Jamey .Great lesson.God bless
Thank you and you’re welcome!
This is excellent. I don't think I've seen a video lesson that was so enlightening. You explain so well.
Thank you so much!
Jamey, great video! Packed with usable information and licks / chord ideas. You obviously have a gift for teaching… thank you. I’ma have a Tritone Sub for breakfast, another one for lunch, and then a sensible dinner. The Jamey diet…
Haha! Thank you so much. Glad the video was helpful for both the guitar licks and meal planning.
It's also cool to use an augmented chord before going to the 1 chord. Perfect example is Allman Bros "Stormy Monday".
Any help in the Proper chords of their version? I play it wrong. At 71, and health problems I have memory challenges. Thanks for any help❤
Absolutely wonderful, Jamey. Lots to unpack here which will be tremendously invaluable, thanks.
Thanks and you’re welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Great lesson Jamey! Super helpful.
Thanks! Glad it’s helpful.
Good to know if music doesn’t pay the bills you can open a food truck selling Tritone Subs.
Good joke! In case you, or anyone else, doesn’t understand what a “tritone sub” is, here goes. Say you’re going from a G7 to a C major, in that G7 chord B is the 3rd and F is the b7. That interval between B and F (or F and B) is a #4 or a b5. That interval is 2 notes separated by 3 whole steps, hence the term “tritone”. Now if you take the bass note of G and replace it with a note that’s a tritone away, C#, now instead of going G7-C, you can now go C#7-C. You have replaced that G7 chord with its TRITONE SUB (a chord that has the same tritone but a different bass note). That’s my best explanation of what it is. Cheers!
(That’s because C#7 has F as it’s 3rd and B as it’s b7, the inversion of G7’s tritone also of F and B.)
Awesome thank you for this lesson. I really enjoyed learning other ways of adding a little more tension in playing and getting listeners engaged. Again,thank you
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful!
Great explanations. Thank you so much !
Thank you and you’re welcome!
Excellent... Thanks
Excellent lesson. Thank you
Thank you and you’re welcome!
Really useful stuff, thank you.
You’re welcome!
Did Wes know theory? I read he struggled reading charts. Didn’t stop him though❤
I’ve heard he didn’t read music. Many of our favorite players couldn’t read music or know the theory behind what they played, they just had amazing ears and practiced their instrument.
Beautiful 😊
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you for the Super Thanks!
Top-notch!
Thanks!
Great stuff. Very cerebral.
Thanks!
Great lesson Thanks Los Angeles
Thanks and you’re welcome!
Jamey, I love your tone on this video… any tips for how to get that sound?
Thanks! Get the @neuraldsp Morgan Amps Suite plug in. That’s all I’m using here!
E Melodic Minor Would Work For Improvisation…Because A Lydian Dominant (Lydian b7) Is the 4th of E….The Altered Dominant is the 7 of E Melodic Minor (D#)…E F# G A B C# D#…Might Could Write the Progression In Mixolydian…B7-A7-D#7…OR I-VII-IV ETC…Great Technique Throughout the Lesson!
This is out of my pay grade...for now. I'm a Newbie and learning the fretboard, and just started playing double stops. I want to master my triads before I tackle sevenths or other fancy stuff. I'm just now practicing thirds, but also the 3 & 7 or 3 & b7. I was taking it through the Circle of Fourths, but now have to start thinking of two notes as being in two different chords.
Food for thought, n'est-ce pas?
Great lesson but man do I hate those black bindings on that 335, haha!
Thanks about the lesson, but I love the black bindings!
Jamie! How can you leave out mentioning Matt Schofield! Great lesson though! 😉
Good call! I added him to the description. Definitely a user of this concept. Thanks!
Would this be considered a funk-blues rhythm? What would the feel be called? It’s truly a great lesson!
It's a blues shuffle - a type of swing rhythm.
@@40pianos I checked out a few shuffle tracks. Different rhythm
Thanks! For the rhythm examples I’m playing over a blues shuffle with a Charleston strumming rhythm. Check out my Blues Rhythm Guitar UA-cam lesson video for more on that. The lead examples are over more of a funky New Orleans inspired groove.
@@JameyArentthank you!! Keep up the awesome content.
@@blackfishgaming7145it’s definitely a shuffle.
brill
confused why in the key of A you call the Em7 the 2 - isn't that the 5 of A? - help LOL
Emin is the ii chord of D7. We're temporarily thinking of D (the IV chord of the blues) as our new key, so the ii-V-I taking us to D would make Emin the ii chord of D, A7 the V chord of D, and D7 our temporary new I chord for 2 measures.
Em7 is the ii of D
@@JameyArent I see - thanks much!
2-5-of D
The 2 (and 5) references the chord you are heading towards - Em7 is the 2 of D and A is the 5 of D. Therefore a 2-5 -1 Turnaround (where the 1 is D) is what Jamey is talking about. This confused me for a very long time...
actually, the 4 chord should occur in the second bar.
It occurs in the second bar as an optional “quick change” but the longer landing on the IV in a traditional bar occurs in bars 5-6.
@@JameyArent 'quick change' and 'longer landing' are new musical terms to me.
