Ivan Milenkovic18th November 2011Thanks a lot JPB!
JPBluestring17th November 2011Ouf! This is blues all right! Ivan we love your dynamic progressions. We feel a mix of Clapton, SRV and BBKing of course, but it remains truly Ivan at his best! Thanks Ivan
ndk19th January 2009Very nice indeed. Excellent phrasing also. Can you elaborate on how you actually decide to hit certain notes (b3 as opposed to m4 or b5, for example).

Hey guys and welcome to my new blues solo lesson. :)
This time we are covering this easy-to-handle solo in D. This means that we are using D7, G7 and A7 chords in a classic 12bar blues progression. Tempo of the track is 90bpm.
In this lesson we will learn how to create licks from both major and minor pentatonic scales and mix them properly so our solo does not sound too dull.
Lots of bending and vibrating the strings here, and all the licks can be played in any other form of music as well, if applied properly. So enjoy the solo and stay tuned for more bluesy stuff :)
This lesson contains:
- Beginner Level Blues licks
- Bending, vibrato, double stops
- Use of both major and minor pentatonic scales to create blues licks
Jump to start: Home or `s` , you can also click/tap the lesson part again (the numbers above player)
Go to next part: PageUP or End.
Volume: ArrowUp / ArrowDown keys
Go to any part: Number keys (combinations also possible)
Pause or play: `k` or space key
Fullscreen: `f`, esc to close
Increase / decrease speed : `+` or `-`
