In today's lesson we'll combine several things to create a fusion lead on a minor blues in C.
To build our lead we will use C Dorian scale along with the minor blues pentatonic.
In order to make things a little more interesting, I sometimes tried to add tension with the use of the blue note.

A very important aspect of this lesson is the rythm spacing. I tried to make the licks breathe by adding some silent notes every once and a while. A closer look at the GP file will help you.

I hope this is inspiring to you!

Member	Hi David, I really enjoy your lessons. I like the way u present video #1 by talking about the upcoming lesson. You do a few lessons using modes. I like to get more into modes. Been trying to find a shortcut, or an easier way to remember them. The way I learned them in theory class is really a turn-off. Do you or anybody out there have an interesting or catchy approach to modes. Thanks. Later!

Do you or anybody out there have an interesting or catchy approach to modes. Thanks. Later! Well.. The way that proved itself to me is just to see all the modes as individual scales.. Even though they are "extracted" and relative to a major scale, seeing them and learning them as individual scales is what helped me. I'm working on a DVD about the subject.. Will keep you guys posted on the forum.
