The Minor Blues Scale- and how the fiddle player can use it.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- In this fiddle lesson I explain and demonstrate the minor blues scale. I show how it is based on the minor pentatonic, and how it relates to the major blues scale. Using different music genres (blues, southern rock, bluegrass, smooth jazz, and minor funk) I demonstrate how the fiddle can make the most of this scale, I show the single octave of the scale, all of the notes within first position, and how to use it in upper positions, even in the most difficult keys.

excellent video and lesson with great descriptions and instruction. AND I am a guitar player...I really have learned a lot from your videos. Thanks
Thank you Chris for the great lessons!
Really well explained and demonstrated Chris, however I'll have to watch the video several times for it to sink in..!! I think your "Man of Constant Sorrow" was in F Minor Blues scale.
That's right. For me that's the perfect song for the minor blues.
Good
