We're going to use the minor pentatonic box shapes as a visual guide or reference. And then we'll find chord tones from the major scale as the chord change in our blues progression.
This is one of the reasons "blues" sounds like it does: the use of minor notes in a primarily major harmonic context. This is the origin of the "blue" note sound of early blues and jazz.
So, in order to make our blues sound better, we should incorporate major notes into the minor scales when we solo, too!
Notice that if you play the major third of the A major chord along with the A minor pentatonic scale you immediately get an interestingly "bluesy" sound. If we apply that same idea to every chord of our I-IV-V blues progression then we can spice up all of our 12 bar blues licks!
Let's give it a try!
More ReviewsI find it quite easy (so far!) to navigate, and found the "where do I start" to be very helpful! I'm getting there!!
I LOVE the forum, too. I've never been one to use forums, but the GT forum is full of great people and helpful information at ALL levels! Congrats on a WONDERFUL site!!
Good job!
