How To SPICE UP Your Blues Solos

Back today to break down a really cool blues soloing technique. This involves adding the major third to the minor pentatonic scale and it's perfect for playing over a dominant seventh chord. Check it out!

Blues soloing is so fun. It's always there if you want to just jam.

Marty, you are truly the Yoda of guitar wizardry to us all.
Keep up the great work you must!

My solos need spicing that’s for sure. Thanks Marty, you da man

[stephendavis]

This is great. How a simple scale can create awesome sounding blues licks. Now all I have to do is to learn alternate picking to speed up my playing. 😎🎸🎸

I've been assigned texas flood in my next School of rock show. Pretty sure this is what SRV is doing all through. F# or G flat tuned though and pretty much soloing the changes.
Another great short Vid Marty.

This is just what I needed to see today (OK, not today as it's my mum's birthday). But I have been working my way through your 'Essential Licks' course on your website, which is epic btw. Also, really good to impress your friends who just want to hear you play something quick. Definitely worth a look on the website guys. 🎈 🎈 U already know about the balloons, I can wait a bit longer. ✌️ ☮️ X

What I learned from watching many of the living Blues Dinosaurs that played in smokey Chicago clubs and taking years of lessons: Slow Down. Regardless of the song, you can’t play Blues TOO slow. Skip a few measures. Keep it Simple. Thanks for the tasty meal, Marty🍀

This scale just got me thinking about Love me two times, the Doors.

[jeffjohnson]

Love this type of lesson with the scale ideas and improvising…do you have any slide guitar delta style for beginner blues to intermediate level of play…would really love to get educated with this for soloing as well in the blues/rock genre👍🎸🎶

[louismackie]

can you please do a guitar lesson on "where'd all the time go" by dr dog. I can't find a good one.

[Newwaver]

Cool 😎 so I’ll upgrade my pentatonic, and some people would ask : Hey, that’s a special style you play man. I say : Yeah... Don’t underestimate the power of the Schwartz 😄

Thanks for the video. Have a good weekend.
