jafomatic29th October 2009Neither voodoo nor cake. It is quite delicious, however, and so all is forgiven!
can't wait to give it a whirl.
Marius Pop29th October 2009Thanks guys!
I was thinking what would be a nice first lesson and, as everybody knows me as a shredder, I thought that a nice blues tune with a jazzy feel would be a good start
I hope you can make some use of it! Feel free to ask me anything you want to know.
I am also thinking of a sequel ...

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!
