Use the major pentatonic scale to play blues - Major pentatonic blues guitar lesson - EP260

In this week's blues guitar lesson, I'll show you how to play a blues lead in the key of F (non-conventional key) by using the major pentatonic scale.

A beautiful little solo, simple melodic phrasing. That little run in the turnaround at 0:21 is a tasty delight.

[GoneSujan]

Sweet, sweet phrasing Brian. I am often rooted (not punning) in the Major and love how giving the major life as a foundation, lets the minor really pop and grab a pocket, if in fact I decide to mix and match. :) So many wonderful tunes and musicians as you noted -- who lean apologetically into the major. Thank you for keeping on. Great stuff!

[timpage]

Brilliant again, I'm am connecting so many dots then applying to my playing.thanku

[ArtDonna]

Started working on this one today Brian. Thanks as always for the terrific lessons. Your're rather popular out here with some folks I know and are also members. Keep em coming!

[mitchelledels]

Major pentatonic is GREAT for playing country music.

[АндрейНевоград]

Эх, на душе должен быть позитив и Мажор ! Спасибо

That lick at 16.05 reminds me so much of " Honest I do" Jimmy Reed.

[davidmcghee]

hey Brian Hockins is in Chapel Hill and uses quality DiMarzio, Seymour Duncan etc pickups of your choice

[Swtorswtor]

Can you do a lesson on "Tony Joe White - I get of on it" ? The rythm playing in that song is mesmerizing. I love this channel, you make great lessons! :) Thank you
