Everyone wants to play the blues! Whether you want to play Jazz, Rock, Funk, RnB, Pop or any other popular music, you have to get your blues together. It's a must do and the first step towards playing the blues, for most players, is learning the Blues Scale.
But then what??? Once you've learned the scale, how do you use it to create all those great licks and solos you hear from the great players? Players like Lee Allen, Noble "Thin Man" Watts, King Curtis, David Sanborn, Gene Ammons, Jimmy Forrest, Sonny Stitt and Charlie Parker. All these masters of the Blues used the Blues Scale and in this lesson, I'll show you how you too, can learn to play great blues solos with this same scale.
I demonstrate how to play the Blues Scales and make them work. I explain why some notes of the scale sound great and why other notes need to be played in the right place at the right time. I talk about where and why, so many beginners go wrong with the Blues Scale. You'll learn which notes of the Blues Scale you can lean on, and which notes want to resolve up or down to another note. I teach you how to resolve your lines and phrases. You'll also learn how bending the notes, can make a note sound great. You'll learn how to use the Blues Scale in different ways over the different types of chords. I show you how knowing your Blues Scales, knowing how to play them and which ones to play over which chord, will enable you to play along with confidence to most of the songs you'll encounter in Pop, Rock, Funk, Blues and most other popular music. I talk about tension and release in your playing and I show you how to use this concept with the Blues Scale to make your playing sound more assured and mature.
I teach you how you can add other notes to the Blues Scale for a more mature type of sound. If you master this lesson and my Using the Blues Scale Part 2 you'll have a solid foundation to your blues playing, that will allow you to start making great music rather than just playing scales.

I really enjoyed your lesson on the blues. I have never heard of using the 6th degree blues over the 1st degree blues. Ex: E over G blues. It is smoother sounding and when using the combination of both blues scales, it has given me so much more flexibility, ideas, and options while soloing over the blues changes. Over time I would like to purchase your entire collection!
Thanks a million!!
