#JUSTIN GUITAR LESSONS BLUES HOW TO#

If you already know minor pentatonic scale this will be pretty easy for you because all you have to do is add one more note.ДЄfter youвЂ™re familiar with the blues scale, IвЂ™ll teach you how to start choosing your notes rather than just randomly playing through the scale shape. WeвЂ™ll start by learning a shape for the blues scale. Once we get the blues rhythm basics down, weвЂ™ll switch our focus to blues lead guitar. With everything youвЂ™ll learn in this series, the possibilities for your rhythm blues guitar playing can really only be limited by the amount of effort you put in and your own creativity. From there, weвЂ™ll dress things up a little bit by going through a couple of rhythm blues riffs to use with the 12-bar progression too. WeвЂ™ll start this series off by going through the blues 12-bar progression, and then weвЂ™ll learn some dominant seventh chords and how to apply them to the 12-bar progression. The goal of this series is to make sure youвЂ™re familiar with the most important things you need to know for blues rhythm guitar and blues lead guitar. It doesnвЂ™t matter if you play acoustic or electric in this series because everything weвЂ™ll cover is equally important for both types of guitar.

If you need to review any of these skills, you can check some of my other lessons. WeвЂ™ll be going through everything step-by-step, but it would be good if you know basic bar chords, basic power chords, the shuffle rhythm, note subdivisions, and hammer-ons and pull-offs.

There are a few things that it would be good for you to know before you start the Blues Guitar Quick-Start Series. If you learn to play the blues really well, youвЂ™ll have an excellent tool and color to use in your guitar playing, and when itвЂ™s appropriate, you can pull it up in other styles of music you play too. One of the best things about the blues is you can learn just a couple of small things and then jump in to playing and expressing yourself. The blues is kind of a hybrid between a major tonality and a minor tonality, so itвЂ™s like its own world.
