In order for this to completely make sense, you really should watch the How Vs. What video, and either have watched the Slurs video, or you should already know how to do hammer-ons and pull-offs. There are actually 2 other skills that you need – bends and grace notes. If you don’t know how to do those, don’t worry I’m going to get to that. But today I want to show you just how simple it is for you (yes, you) to play a blues guitar solo…Now, I’ve actually got 3 videos for you today, and they are going to be a LOT of fun to work through.
In this first video, I’m going to demonstrate a 24 bar blues solo in the key of G. I just want you to watch this first, and see what we’re after.
If you need to, download the IPOD or WMV version by right clicking on the links and choosing “Save As…”
In this 2nd video, I’m going to show you the 1st Blues Block. This is where all 4 of the notes come from in the solo you just watched.
Download the IPOD or WMV versions here by right clicking.
Now in the last video, I’ll walk you through how it all goes together. This one is a little longer than the other two, but as you can see, when you break it down into little chunks and work those little chunks, it all comes together pretty easily.
All of these lessons, and a whole lot more like it, are going to be available on Thursday morning at 9:00am Pacific Time in “Soloing Without Scales – The 4 Note Solo.” I’ll have more info as I get it closer to being finished. But keep an eye on your email as I’ll have another lesson coming in a couple of days.
Here’s all the downloads for everything in the last video:
- IPOD version of the video
- WMV version of the video
- MP3 of the solo
- PDF of the Blues Block #1
- PDF of the Solo
Have fun – and as always, leave your comments. Laura and I love to read through them and see how everyone is doing with the lessons.
