Hi Muris,
Always helpful.
Thanks a million.

You're very welcome.

Great lesson Muris!
Don't want to bog you down in theory, but you're using some unusual chords I haven't come across before. Just wondered how they fit in with A minor, an dhow the 'extra' notes from the chords 'work' with the melody. Perhaps it's just a 'nice' chord progression that you picked a few notes out of to create the melody...?
This will keep me going for a while...!
Kevin - kevvyg26th March 2009
Sorry Muris, I left off my 'for example'!
For example, how does the 'C' (2nd string 13 fret, Bar 1), fit in with the E7+9? When I see a note in the melody that's not in the accompanying chord, it throws me. I know E7+9 is E-G#-B-D-G, and you're not playing the 5th, but what's the reason for the C? It shouldn't fit, but it does!! Help!!
Kevin - Muris Varajic27th March 2009
Hi Kevin.
7+9 type of chord is very often in blues progression,
specially in minor keys as 5th degree chord or dominant chord.
Note C isn't involved in this chord as you have noticed
but blues players don't follow progression all the time
as jazz players do per example, note C in just a note
from Am pentatonic scale, they do pentatonic a lot.
On the other hand you can look at this C note as B#
and then you get kind of +5 feel, sweet jazzy sounding note. - kevvyg27th March 2009
Thanks Muris!
I try these chords out!
I think I'll learn the track and worry about the theory later. I guess the rule of thumb is to be aware of the theory, but don't let it get in the way! I suppose if a note sounds good, it doesn't really matter if it's in the scale or not!
Kevin - Muris Varajic27th March 2009Thanks Muris!

Well kind of, tho you should know WHY some note sounds
good even if it's not in scale or chord. - kevvyg31st March 2009
Can I just ask....I'm not sure what you mean by +5. As the key is Amin, would 'C' (or B#), not be the minor 3rd (or augmented 2nd)? I assume +5 is augmented 5th, which should be E# (or F).
Thanks!
Kevin
ps sorry if I'm being a bit dim...! - Muris Varajic31st March 2009
I was talking about E aug or E+5, not A aug,
5th is B and +5 is B# or C.
I said 5th degree in key,
this is Am key and 5th degree is E. - kevvyg2nd April 2009
Thanks for clearing that up Muris - time to practice I think!

Hello GMC! In this lesson we'll try to learn how to play the tune called "Blue Note In A", it's on my debut album called "Let It Out". This first part of this Song-Lesson covers main theme played on very soft overdrive tone,almost a clean sound. Now,chops in here are surely not hard to learn or execute technique wise but it's dynamic in playing that gives the flavor to this part of tune.
Some notes are more accented, some are kind a swallowed etc. It's actually pretty common when you play Bluesy stuff and this tune is surely one of that kind. Rhythmic is something that is also interesting in this section and in Blues playing in general, many notes are not played straight on the beat but slightly ahead or before the beat. It's very hard to write all those moves in notation correctly so forgive me if I made some small mistakes in GP file,rhythmic wise. Best option is to let yourself to the groove and feel of the tune,those "off beat" notes will come out of your very natural.
It's in key of A minor and scale used here is straight Am Pentatonic Scale.
Tempo is 87 BPM, 6/8 measure.
I used Korg Pandora PX4D as always and here are the settings:
SGL>HUM 10.0
US HI-G Gain 1.7 Bass 2.0 Middle 2.0 Treble 9.0
JAZ 1x15 8.0
Mod FX OFF
PPDLY3 3.0
PLATE2 4.3
NR 8.3
Hope you'll like it! :)
