How To Play a Blues Guitar Solo

http://www.dolphinstreet.com A blues jam in C, using a great pedal called Rabid Rodent. See http://duhvoodooman.com/miscimages/musical/RRv2.htm for more info. Amp used is a Mack GEM from http://www.mackamps.com and I am playing at extremely low volume in the 0.4 watt setting. I could easily talk louder than that! So you can hear it's possible to get good tone at super-low volume with this rig. The guitar here is a Michael Kelly Patriot Shadow.

WOW! BEAUTIFUL PLAYING!

WHAT SCALE ARE YOU USING BY THE WAY!?

[rotren]

@gnrocks47 I use several scales, arpeggios and chromaticism, etc when I improvise. It's never just one scale. Mostly, it's the minor pentatonic and blues scale with some Dorian mode thrown in there.

@sulz47 if you were as advanced as he apparently expected of you, then you could use the ideas that you heard and saw fingerings for if you were paying any attention.

Inspiring stuff.....

@sulz47

He did. Not that the rest of us will ever be able to do that, but he certainly showed us how it's done! :-D
