5 Essential Blues Boxes - Lesson 8 Preview - The Backdoor Pattern

[SolitarySoldiers]

I play an Em pentatonic extended which i belive is the same pattern you show here,,peace from canada.

[PlanterPaige42]

becuase you are tuned down how would the pattern change if i was playing in standard tuning?

[WhosAtroll]

is he picking?

[MrFabs92]

how long are you playing? that sounds awesome!

great lesson as well

[sugizo88]

man this reveals the last mystery that I've been wondering for many years.

you might find it hard to believe but I started learning blues licks myself. and pretty much I've been using the EXACT 5 blues boxes that you taught in the other lesson even though I discovered them naturally(might be because I'm using a lot of bending and I'm also a fan of hendrix). I've tried using the normal blues box to fill in the bottom strings, but they're way too inconvenient.

This is It!! Thank you so much!

[stratdude57]

awesome dude

what gauge strings do you use?

i know stevie uses high gauge like 11's 12's and 13's but what do you reccomend?

i want that sort of heavy string sound and 9's sound a bit thin...

[JeffKnight]

Very useful.

[straightupwv]

Dude, raise your action. The strings are buzzing like crazy.

[2Shae91]

I freakin' love your unconventional methods of looking at scales!

[marknopfler]

Nice sound dude!!! I have the Hot Rod Deluxe amp and a Fender Strato American Deluxe and I can't get your sound. Are u using some pedal???

How can I get you sound???

[hvrock13]

@marknopfler Cause he has a Blues Junior. Lower wattage, therefore he can crank it. I have the hot rod deluxe too. Can't really crank it, wayy too loud.

[LodvarDude]

Dude! Isn´t the first "turnaround" the major Pentatonic?

Anyways; Great lessons!

[Mrhorsiie]

@LodvarDude i noticed that i think it is yea

[BOULDERDP]

Of course! How could I miss something so obvious ? Very nice explanation. Yet again nicely mixing major and minor scales all in one pattern.

[Seancr4]

great videos. you really know how to break it down.

[ff8tapwned]

I have that amp :)

[nebukanezer73]

A nice example of the backdoor pattern is in Oasis Don't Look Back in Anger solo. Runs up the entire pattern in the solo :-)

[nuttygrant]

The doors are flying open for me thanks

[TwilightsLastGleam]

So if you start somewhere other than the first and third fret for Box 1, will the patterns stay the same?

[gr8bluesgtr]

I use 4 places to start the pattern, the last two reverse the 2/3 pattern. All the patterns are oulined in the full lesson which you can download for free on this series' download page at StevieSnacks.

@gr8bluesgtr

I just bought the Blues Box package and it's great.

Do you think you will ever do a Jazz Guitar Lesson?

[gr8bluesgtr]

@ryanjames2007 I'd have to learn some first :-)

[A145084]

@gr8bluesgtr

What fret do you start the 1st box on?

[rickcrisbalthis]

@A145084

That would depend on the root of your song.
