Hi GMC!
Welcome to my new lesson! Today I will share with you some tasty blues licks in the style of the talented guitarist Eric Gales,
"(born October 29, 1974), also known as Raw Dawg, is an American blues-rock guitarist, originally hailed as a child prodigy. As of 2019 Gales has recorded eighteen albums for major record labels and has done session and tribute work."
Here you'll find a blues solo over a 12 bars progression in E that combines his most used phrases and concepts:
- Combining minor, major pentatonics, blues scale y Mixolydian mode.
- Use of blues scale.
- Following the chords.
- Dominant arpeggios
- Different bending types.
- Blues phrasing.
- Double stops.
Let's get into Eric's amazing approaches to blues improvisation.
