Most Effective Way to Solo Over Blues Progressions


Published on 21 January 2016
Please support fretjam: http://www.fretjam.com/support.html This lesson shows you a far more effective way of soloing over blues progressions than what most guitarists are taught. Instead of playing a single pentatonic/blues scale pattern through the 1 4 5 chord changes, you can turn an ordinary sounding blues solo into an extraordinary solo by having a greater melodic respect for each chord. That means being aware of each chord's tones and being able to confidently target these tones when the chord changes. By thinking more carefully about note selection through a blues progression, your solo will sound more expressive and connected to what's actually being played in the background, rather than confining yourself to the convenience of a single scale pattern.
