Hi GMC-ers!

Welcome to my new blues lesson!  As you might have noticed, this is not a traditional blues pattern,  this is a bit freer than my previous blues lessons. Also the chord progression is different from them.

In this lesson we won’t play only from beat to beat, but I tried to tie the beats together. I use many bended notes and slides, and beside the A pentatonic  and A blues pentatonic, I often use notes of the A minor.

In this lesson I use the four modes of the A pentatonic  and the A blues pentatonic  and on some places I play some extra notes which belong to the A minor, and it’s different modes. These scales are used at the melodic parts. The first part of the chord progression  I use a simple pentatonic  or blues  pentatonic  scale and it changes  only in the second part to A minor.

The chord progression is:

A7/  A7/  D7/  A7/  F/  E E G G#/A7/ E7

I hope this will be a useful lesson for everyone! Have a nice practice!
