Tags : Blues, Jazz, Improvisation

Hello GMC!
This lesson is about Blues! Or Jazz..? Or both...?

There are a couple of thing I wanted to show you in this leson:

1 - How to follow each part of a standard blues 1-4-5 progresion
2 - What you can play instead of the standard Minor Pentatonic.
3 - How you can use the Mixolydin mode to add a jazzy feel to a blues song.

The backing track follows a standard 1-4-5 blues progression.
The chords are A7, D7, E7
The tempo is 120
Time signature is 4/4

The structure is:
Part 1: Basic riff
Part 2: Improvisation in Major Penttonic and Major Penttonic add 3m
Part 3: Inprovisation in Mixolydian Mode and Mixolydian add 3m

I tabbed for you the chord progression, the riff and some licks I used in the improvisation.

Learn the scales, the licks, search GMC for other Pentatonic or Mixolydian licks and try to improvize!

 

Enjoy!

Please let me know what you think!
