    This lesson shows you a far more effective way of soloing over blues progressions than what most guitarists are taught.
    Instead of playing a single pentatonic/blues scale pattern through the 1 4 5 chord changes, you can turn an ordinary sounding blues solo into an extraordinary solo by having a greater melodic respect for each chord.
    That means being aware of each chord's tones and being able to confidently target these tones when the chord changes.
    By thinking more carefully about note selection through a blues progression, your solo will sound more expressive and connected to what's actually being played in the background, rather than confining yourself to the convenience of a single scale pattern.

    I've been playing for years and this is the best most comprehensive explanation for soloing on the 12 bar blues I've seen.

    Brilliant. Hardly ever you find this on the books.
    I wondered why I couldn't connect the minor pentatonic to the (major) chord changes and now I know why.

    Hi, This is a fantastic tutorial. Thanks for putting this together. I've been playing a longggg time and I've yet to see anyone put together the theory and practice of playing the changes to blues together so well. Keep up the great work.

    Amazing tutorial. I've been playing for several years, and in the past year I've been trying to comprehensively understand music theory. So many videos make explanations too lengthy and complicated. This is a short and sweet way to make sure your solos sound how you want them. Not gonna lie, probably watched this thing 20 times, but I've gained a lot of ground in my lead and improv. Thanks!

  • @37BopCity
    @37BopCity 7 років тому

    This is an extremely informative and interesting lesson. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen anyone else on UA-cam explain this as clearly. It took me a while to lock it in mentally, and get it in my ears and fingers, but I agree with you that it is a far more effective way of thinking through the changes. Relying on visual images of minor pentatonic patterns is missing out on a whole range of musical options. Thanks for this!

  • @joelk5280
    @joelk5280 10 років тому +2

    GREAT LESSON!!! The best I've seen around! Beautifully laid out and a must have for any guitarist. The technique of landing on guide tones (3rd and 7th) or the tonic root (less interesting but still sonically pleasing) over chord changes can be applied to other forms of music as well (think jazz!). This is why most jazz/blues players sound different than most rock/blues players. THEY DO THIS! Once you understand this concept, it's just a matter of changing a note here and there for different chords and progressions like a ll-V-l jazz progression.

    This is a more jazz like approach to the blues which I understand. Phrasing on the 3rd and 7th and avoiding certain tones, etc. Definitely the best "neck lessons" I've seen. Love all your stuff man, great for a theory and visual geek like me!

    • @fretjamdotcom
