5 Must-Know Blues Scales

Показать описание

This is a video demonstrating 5 scales that are extremely useful for playing the blues. My favorite blues musicians combine these sounds in a fluid and musical way. This video is not a step-by-step lesson on how to play these scales. It is a birds-eye-view of what these scales are and how they can be used to create musical solos.

Minor Based Scales:
-Minor Pentatonic
-Blues Scale

Major Based Scales:
-Major Pentatonic
-Mixolydian Mode
-Bebop Dominant (Mixolydian + Nat 7th) (Add b3 and b5 for more chromaticism)

Brilliant teaching. Never seen anyone put this together likes this. I walked away with a much better understanding of how these scales work together. Thank you!

I practice all pentatonic scales and when he did that at the beginning I wanted to burn my guitar and cry in the corner.

Would be much nicer if there are sketches of the scales shown during the lesson. Some people have strong visual memory. Thank you very much for very good lesson. Cheers from Indonesia.

Here’s how to look at it as just one scale, the chromatic scale.
1) Start with the 5 CAGED shapes for Minor Pentatonic; and start off in the key of E.
2) Now add in 3, and always go up from b3 to 3 or into a chord tone. Leave it out if it’s a Minor chord.
3) Now add in 2 and 6 from Mixolydian and b5 from the Blues scale for this:
1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6/b7.
That’s 9 out of the 12 notes leaving just b2-b6-7, the least useable of the 12 notes but still useable on your way to a chord tone.
4) Each of the 5 positions contains the 1-4-5 chords.
5) Play over YT 12-bar Blues and work all 5 positions. Do it in all keys!

It's really a good moment to have a lessons with someone who's exchange with us. As a matter of fact, it's like being in the same room having a good time. Thank You.

I love the way you put that C9 into the shuffle instead of the 7th. I've always had a mental block about learning lead, but this video really helped me understand how to start.

Hi Joe, this lesson is fantastic.
Wish you could do more about phrasing and how to be musical with each scale because that's the most difficult part...
Please more about this 🙏🎸👍

I'm convinced!!! Your tutorial demonstration presents a solid argument. I know nothing of scales but hell I gotta study these, the close up camera really helped. Man please do more blues in your livestreams, it's so cool. 😎❤👍

Great Lesson Joe. Brilliant. Also worth mentioning that it's great to anchor on the root note for each of the chords when playing each of the different scales over them :)
