The Texas Hybrid is a mash-up of the playing styles of some of the Lone Star State's greatest bluesmen, in the likes of Freddie King, Billy Gibbons and Stevie Ray Vaughn, just to name a few. I'll share with you some of the ideas and methods that I used to create this greasy sounding hybrid and show you some typical Texas Blues motifs that I like to include in my playing.

In this lesson we're going to combine two different scales - the minor pentatonic and the major pentatonic, to create a classic blues sounding lead line. We're also going to look beyond "just" combining these scales, and talk about the chord shapes and tones that reside within these shapes.

How to use the B.B. King box to jump start your licks, and how to break out of it and explore some other improvisational avenues. This will not only help to expand your musical palette, but also enable you play in the style of B.B. King in a more elaborate, compelling and three dimensional way!
