I started in classical guitar when I was 16 so the Blues has been somewhat something mystic to me. Occasionally I would jam and not have a clue why I sounded good as opposed to mostly sounding lost and like crap if I could even form a simple original phrase. The reason being that I have always had trouble soloing the blues even though I know all the major and minor pentatonic scales. I have played off and on for 40 years and this is I think the best lesson I have ever seen. Man I can’t tell you how much this lesson means to me. Is there a special reason? Because the 5 is a landing note with the IV cord? Why don’t you mention the 5 as a landing point with the I and the V chord. In the V-chord you can land on the notes of the C7-chord form (here this is the E7 dominant chord).īut one thing puzzles me. In the IV-chord you can land on the notes of the A-chord form (here this is the D major chord) and on the flat 7 of this form. In the I-chord you can land on the notes of the E-chord form (which is in this position the A major chord) and also on the flat 7 of this form. If I am correct this makes the position of the landing points very easy. But you would probably say you mix the minor and the major pentatonic, like you said with the 3 of the I-chord. In the same way, if I am correct, you can also land on the 3 of the IV chord (D), although it is not in the pentatonic form 1. If the underlaying chord was a minor chord (Am or Am7) than this 3 would clash with the flat 3 of the Am7. If I understand you correct with the I-chord you can play the 3 because the underlaying chord is a major chord (A or A7). Thanks again Brian for your wonderful lesson.
