Carlos Carrillo22nd February 2008Hey Gabi!!!nice job!!!thanks
Gabriel Leopardi17th June 2007Thanks Der! I'm very glad to hear that! I use a marshall valvestate 8080 for this lessons. When I play live I play a tube amp similar to Messa Boggie called Vintage Electric and different pedals.
Der_C15th June 2007I agree, Gabe! I never imagined I'd go so much into blues as I'm doing now. The main reason for this are your lessons, cheers for that
By the way, which amp do you play?- Gabriel Leopardi13th June 2007
Thank for your comments! I agree with you Der_c. The Gibson LP was designed for this kind of stuff but I also like it's sound for rock and metal.. I could say that I love my guitar! jej

Gabriel, you are amazing! Thank you so much for your blues series. I also got a Gibson LP Studio 2 weeks ago, and it's like this guitar was just designed to play stuff like that!
Go on

Hey! Today we have a new blues lesson! This one is a dominant 7th blues in A improvisation with triads. The main purpose of this lesson is to learn every position and inversion of the dominant 7th triads. These triads are a great tool to use when you are soloing and also when you are playing a blues rhythm part.
Theory behind the lesson
Dominant 7th chords:
I – III – V - bVII
Dominant 7th triads:
You have two possibilities and their inversions.
1) I – III – bVII
2) III - V – bVII
Let’s build A7 chords and triads.
A7 chord: A – C# – E – G
A7 triad 1: A - C# - E
A7 triad 2: C# - E – G
Well, now you have to do the following homework.
1. Build D7 and E7 dominant chords and triads.
2. Find and learn in the guitar all the positions of this triads.
3. Practice the triads over the backing track.
4. Learn this lesson and enjoy!
The backing track is a twelve - bars blues. I recorded extended versions at different tempos to practice this lesson. You can also combine dominant arpeggios with A pentatonic minor in your improvisations over this backing tracks.
bye,
Gab.-
