Beginners Blues Course - Lesson 5: Putting it all together

Hey, I may be repeating myself in this video as I think I have covered this topic before in a previous video, but I think there is nothing wrong with a little refresher!
This leson coveres putting all your blues skills together.
*Note*... If this video is complete "gobble-de-goop"(lol) to you, take a look at my previous lessons in the blues begginers course.
Hope this helps anyway and please leave a comment so I know what you think of this course.
Thanks,
Ben

hey, i'd just like to ask... when you improvise, you can play notes from both the blues scale -and- the scale of the key you're currently playing, right? so, say, you're playing a c-major chord on the left hand, so you can hit c, e, g, etc. as well as the c, eb, f, f# etc.? *confused*

Yes, That is correct, but obviously not at the same time :p. The combination I use makes it sound more major as the blues scale is naturally based around the minor scale.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for taking the time to break down the basics. As someone who doesn't have access to a private teacher, it's VERY generous to offer these helpful guides for free on Youtube.

Thank you.

Great lessons!

Extra info I found usefull when learning the blues for myself:

There are variations on the 12 bar blues, you can find them anywhere on the internet if you are curious really. A common one is: play the fifth chord on the twelth bar, so that would be G. And another: play the fourth on the second bar, especially usefull if you are playing it slower and want to break the big 4 times base chord part of it at the start. You might already know them but I'm just sharing them in case ;)
