It doesnt take a lot of time to get a basic grip on the pentatonic scale and a few I-IV-V progressions before were off and running building up our chops and learning how to solo, improvise, and comp. Eventually though, we all hit the proverbial rut where we grow tired of playing the same old same old and thirst for insight to help us juice up our blues. Blues waters can run plenty deep technically and harmonically as evidenced by Robben Ford, Scott Henderson, Greg Koch, David "Fuze" Fiuczynski and Mike Stern to name a few. Sure, theres a lot of bends, blue notes and pentatonic happening - and the progressions are still pretty straightforward - but the lines are very sophisticated and fresh. Juiced Blues examines some of the deeper qualities of this style and will introduce you to a whole new way of thinking about and playing the blues. Recording artist, stunt guitarist and TrueFires resident professor of the deep, Chris Buono guides you through the application of superimposed m7b5 arpeggios, modal pentatonics, melodic minor modes, symmetrical diminished scales, chord fragments, melodic contrary motion, and the Diamond theory for juicing up your blues soloing and comping. Buono presents Juiced Blues across five sections, each examining a variety of harmonic and expressive concepts. You'll work with a different blues rhythm track in each section, over which you'll learn a "juiced" solo and a "juiced" comp, which Chris breaks down in meticulous detail. You'll walk away with enough "juice" to last your blues for quite sometime. But the theoretical and harmonic mind dump alone is worth the price of admission.
