Four (plus one) notes small, even.
Just sharing. Working on the intro for a blues classic for the next jam. Got the sheet music, plotted out the notes for the melody, found a couple of places on the fretboard to plant ‘em.
Then it dawned on me that, for the most part, each of the phrases of that melody tucks nicely into a “blues box” right out of SWS. Not always perfectly, but close enough that the melody is recognizable. I understand that, since a blues box nicely covers a block of the pentatonic scale, that’s not really all that surprising. Hella useful, though, especially if I want to change the key of each box to fit the corresponding chord.
I’m a fan.
