Guitar Lessons with Josh Gibson - Blues Soloing - "Modes" of the Blues Scale

Here's a pretty simple concept you can use to improve your blues soloing - The idea is to target chord tones as the chords change - WITHOUT changing scales, just use the 6 notes in the Blues scale. In order to do this effectively, you need to identify how the 6 notes in the scale relate to each chord in the progression.

Okay, so what's he talking about? Start and end each riff on the root note of the I, IV, V, but then what does he go on about for the next 5 minutes - B flat, A sharp, C, F, whatever? Surely it's not as complicated as all this? Please someone simply show some close-up phrases to use over each chord, and perhaps I can cut through al the complications and try and back engineer from there ... frustrated, yes!

@BonjourRich What you're suggesting is a great idea, but not the topic of discussion here. I answered a specific question about this specific perspective for another player. If it's licks you seek, I'm sure there are plenty here on the 'toob. Best of luck!

Awesome video there Josh. You, your guitar and your home camera giving a targeted lesson that's better explained and better quality than 93% of the instructional theory stuff out there. You might want to consider doing some courses for Truefire. :) Now if we could get Beboy to transcribe that and do a pdf of it that's gotta be worth 2.50 easy. (But you can get me a deal right?) :)

Thanks Gad! Funny you say that - it looks like Beboy & I will be teaming up with TF to do a Theory course....keep your eyes and ears peeled!

Josh thanks so much. Solid lesson. You ramble of the intervals like a pro, time to pull out pen and paper and diagram a bit of this. Good insight.

[JoshGibsonGuitar]

You've got the idea! Nothing like a little written work to drive this stuff home!
