The 4 Note Solo - Blues Guitar Lesson
Loading...

My goal was to dispel the myth I hear a lot, which is that you need a ton of chops and great licks to sound good playing blues guitar. It can be simple, easy, and fun, while still sounding authentic.
In this lesson, I just wanted to show you a simple blues solo without too many fancy licks. It's not that hard to play with a little practice and this can go a long way.

I was skeptical, but this was really good.
-
@freejrs I think he meant 4 notes by 2 frets per string, and there being 2 strings
-
@freejrs On the money there!
Bends to Maj 3rd, b5, Perfect 5th!
-
fucking impressive!
-
Dont need a lot of notes, just good phrasing.
-
@bluesguitarunleashed Thanks. I don't get scales very well...obviously.
-
Nice solo but only 4 notes??? No. In that solo you used the Root.......Flat 7th.......Minor 3rd.....Major 3rd........Perfect 4th...........Perfect 5th and Flattened 5th.
That's 7 notes you played. Not 4. ;-)
It's a bit misleading to tell people you are only using 4 notes when you are infact using a combination of Major and Minor Pentatonic Scales and the Blues Scale!!!!!
Maybe you meant that you are playing just around that 4 note box shape but you are clearly playing more than 4 notes. :-)

@mindlesspup - at least it's not as bad as my Tyler :0
-
@cracks21229 - it's an A blues. I'm not sure where you get D unless you're looking at just the key signature. But blues doesn't really work that way.

@chewymcbaca - absolutely. I taught the same thing to my son on his bass and he's now soloing in the middle school jazz band with it. You can do it on any instrument and it almost always works... even outside of blues (thought it will probably always sound bluesy.)
