tasty stuff!
one more Q. what kind of guitar tone do you use for this lesson. I have line 6 tt and need to create this lovely tone
thanks
how can I download backing tracks?
It is very fun, mate Tell me, what else are you looking for - maybe I can be of help to you
wow, still learning how to find stuff on the site and glad to be here for now! looks like fun!
Awesome licks. Thanks Ivan! This is really gonna get my blues going.
In video 8 you seem to have a mistake in the tab, ou miss a note there.
I can't wait for the lessons on the other positions. I'm best in boxes 1 and 3, so they'll help me out a lot.
Yeah, my gear is meant for really heavy stuff, but I'm looking to play more bluesy and mellow because it feels so good. I might buy a Fender MIM strat or something and see how that sounds. I always love the feel of them. Great video!
Hmm, that kind of gear is definitely the oposite of what I've used. I used single coil pickups and Fender Amp emulation in Nuendo. Is there a way for you to use some kind of guitar software like Guitar Rig 3 or Amplitube Fender?
Recommended equipment would be nice. I'm at the polar opposite side of the spectrum on this one though in terms of gear. I play mainly metal, and I play an ESP LTD mh-401 (emg pups, floyd rose bridge ect) through a Bugera 333 (basically a high gain amp). The amp has a full clean channel, and I just got a Bad Monkey to dirty it up a bit and get a decent blues sound going, but obviously its nothing like this. What are typical EQ characteristics for blues tones like this? Boosted mids?
Thanks a lot man, appreciate it!
Let me know if I can help you with tone settings on this one.
I wish I could get a tone like that. Thats great.
very cool dude!

thanks my friend. The pickup is SD lil' 59 although it will be swapped soon for regular SD JB.
awesome lesson ivan. i love the john mayer vibe!
Did you swap out your bridge pickup for something else?
Very nice blues solo! Very good lesson!
Awesome lesson, Funkmeister !
Unbelievable! That's some great blues playing.
Very nice topic Ivan - this is one of my favorite things to do.
Also I like it because it's a simple approach which is very powerful. My advice would be for people to first learn the solo, and then try to realize which scale patterns the notes come from. (you basically only need to know one "box" from each scale to do this)
Hello there GMC, and welcome to my new lesson series, this time the topic is mixing major and minor pentatonic patterns in blues soloing to create a more richer phrasing elements.
Mixing major and minor scales (primarily third intervals) in blues, but also in other forms of music influenced by blues, is one of the essential concepts of improvising in general.
In order to learn to mix the patterns in a natural way you have to memorize the patterns and know where are the notes in both of them at the same time. If you are already familiar with pentatonic scale, this lesson should help you mix them fluidly.
There will be 5 of these lessons, in order to cover all the boxes well. In this first lesson we will stay in the box 1 of the minor and box 1 of the major pentatonic scale. In second lesson we will play in boxes 2, and so on.
Even through this is not-so-difficult lesson, we will try to learn few cool bluesy licks along the way and couple of phrasing elements, and phrasing effects. Watch carefully the videos and try to capture all those subtle details - they are the things that makes the solo sound good.
Have fun! :)
