I don't know any bands playing this style, - Quibanez28th January 2010
badassest song ever!
- Piotr Kaczor3rd August 2009@ coldandrea.
It works because it is the sixth chord in the Bb major scale.
Thanks, mateI keep listening to this tune so many times and don't get bored. It sounds so great; similar to some tunes produced by Larry Carlton.
I'm glad that you like it! I love Larry!I just checked out this lesson. I'm glad I didn't miss this one. Can you continue and make a series 2 of this lesson? Thank you !
I'll think about itI just whish that one day I can phrase like this, it rocks!
I'm sure that you'll be much better someday:)

first of all, thank you for this lesson, this is a very nice "jazzified" blues solo, I love it!
This lesson explains well "how" you play the solo. A little suggestion/request: how about a lesson that explains "why"? I mean, it would be very intersting for us to know why you use those arpeggios when you use them...are you just following the chords tones? how come that a Bbmaj7 arpeggio works well over a Gmin7 chord??
thank you, I'll be waiting for more lessons on jazzy blues

Torben18th January 2009When I heard this the first time, I knew I would have to learn it. It's so cool! I don't have Podx (but Pandora) and will have to experiment a bit, to find something closer to your creamy tone.
It would be nice with a lesson on the comping. Possible?- Laidback17th January 2009

Hi GMC and welcome to my blues phrasing lesson! Today's lesson is based on the "Daddy blues" theme - the song that I wrote when my son was born. The song has a swing rhythm and it sounds a little jazzy.
In this lesson we'll focus on phrasing - very important thing, which gives flavour to our playing.
To build phrases we are going to use: vibrato, glissando, arpeggios, full and micro bends, dynamic picking. Remember to breath between phrases.
I used mostly Bb major scale, blues pentatonic scale and some major arpeggios.
chord progression:
Cm7, D7, Gm7, Fm7, Ebmaj7, Dm7, (Dbm7), Cm7, D7#9, D7b9, Gm9
I used the POD xt live preset called Gypsy Jazz.
The lesson is available in the guitar pro 5 file, mp3 backing tracks included.
I hope you like it!
