  • This is a video demonstrating 5 scales that are extremely useful for playing the blues. My favorite blues musicians combine these sounds in a fluid and musical way. This video is not a step-by-step lesson on how to play these scales. It is a birds-eye-view of what these scales are and how they can be used to create musical solos.

      Joe is a master of combining all routes up the neck in a rhythmical way, not to mention when he incorporates melodic counterpoint. (That’s nuts 😜). The important part is to develop a sense of the root and its adjacent intervals in different positions up the fretboard

    thanks Joe, the concept of using the different scales/modes in one tune is a refreshing new thought. You helped me break out of only using the major pentatonic and into the natural minor, and I look forward to learning more from this approach. Giving the Mini a workout this afternoon!

    Hey Joe, I really appreciate the lesson. The only scales I was familiar with were the first two. I've never played lead. It's always been like a mystery to me. I would really enjoy some lessons where you break it down more slowly for those of us who are new at it. As always, I love your videos and your instruction. Thanks!

    Thanks Joe i really enjoy all your content and how you present it. I read what I have found a v useful description of “the blues” ………that there are three fixed pitches (1,4,5) and the rest are “flexible” pitches ie (2,b3,3) and (6,b7) and between 4 and 5. This thinking accommodates major and minor pentatonic + b5 plus all the microtones in between
