Description

Learn the language of The Blues Scale and get those fingers moving!  In this lesson, I demonstrate using the Blues Scale to create great blues licks you can use in your own playing. From slow Blues, to fast Funk, to Rock and Roll. I show you how to go about getting your blues vocabulary together as you greatly improve your technique with these essential blues licks and scales. Play along with this lesson at your own pace, as you learn 12 great sounding and easily adaptable blues licks and patterns. Playing these patterns is also a fun and exciting way to make that transition from knowing the Blues Scale, to actually having it in your ears and under your fingers.

As I demonstrate these blues licks, I teach you how to learn, ingrain and adapt them, so that you can create your own ideas, licks and solos with confidence.  These blues licks combine many of the idiomatic sequences, intervals and finger patterns, you really need to have down, if you want to get burning on these blues scales. If you are stuck playing your Blues Scales straight up and down, practicing these licks will soon have you playing with the technique and flexibility required to be able to play what you hear. I also show you how to bend and shape notes and use various effects and inflections, such as falls and vibrato, to really bring these blues licks to life and add the feel that is such a necessary part of communicating with your audience and playing these Blues Scales convincingly

.
This lesson also comes with a PDF sheet of the 12 licks, so you can print it out and get playing straight away.
Use this lesson with Using the Blues Scale Part 1 and Part 2 to really develop the understanding, feel, technique, and vocabulary so essential to playing these styles.  (16 Minute Audio Lesson)

    This is a great lessons that builds upon the excellent ‘Using the Blues Scale part 1 & 2′ lessons. This one gives you some real ammunition to get under your fingers. Hearing how Steve plays the notes really helps get the feel of these licks. Using software that changed the key of the original mp3 I was then able to learn these licks easily in other keys. Easily worth the money.

Hi Steve, I have been shedding your materials for quite a while now and I love them! They are extremely well organized and presented and there are tons of ’em! I really appreciate your methodical approach and find myself referring students to your resources often.  Thanks so much!

I am enjoying your style of teaching, and you’ve done a great job with the videos….good sound quality and well constructed lessons.  Balances the more guitaristic material found on the majority of guitar based programs.  Jazz vocab is what I’m all about at this point in the journey.  I especially dig the fact that you’ve studied with Bergonzi…helps me see his voluminous output in a more bite sized way.

Hey Steve, My name is Jason Freese and I play keyboards and sax in the band Green Day.  I grew up taking sax lessons from Eric Marienthal when I was a kid and got out of it for a long time. I ran into you on youtube while searching for sax stuff. I bought a whole bunch of your lessons and have been loving it! Thanks! Here is my wikipedia so you can see the albums I’ve played on….Thanks again. It’s sparked my interest in practicing again.   Jason

Thank you for the wealth of helpful lessons you’ve provided over the years.  I truly feel as though it has improved my playing more than the 4 years I spent at Berklee… and that’s not a slight on the school as I loved my experience there.

I’ve been a member of Steve’s site for about six months now and the difference it has made to my playing is immeasurable. The (many) benefits of this membership are that you can have lessons at time convenient to you, they work out A LOT cheaper than face-to-face lessons with a teacher of the same calibre and you can replay them ad infinitum. I don’t know how many times have I had lessons in the past where I’ve ended up covering the same concepts when really a ‘replay’ of the last lesson would h… Read more

Your material is great! I got your New Altissimo Lesson 6 months ago and I have learned more from that than in all my 44 years of playing! I appreciate your down to earth teaching method and I really appreciate the heart that you teach with. I have been a subscriber to your lessons for the past 6 months and I have learned a great deal. Over that period of time I have had some questions and you have never failed to respond. Thanks! I have already recommended your lessons to a number of players in… Read more

Mr. Neff,  I want to thank you for sharing your God-given talents through your on-line lessons.  My husband, Michael, is blind, but he is a great sax player and he has been enjoying your lessons for quite some time now.  It’s not unusual for me to hear “Hey, babe, listen to THIS!” – and he will cut loose on his sax, just thrilled at what he learned during his session with you.  His excitement warms my heart!  You have no idea how much you have poured into my husband.  You have opened musical … Read more
