Box 5 doesn’t get a lot of love, especially when you’re playing the minor blues scale…

But, when you realize that it’s the box that fits right over top of any ‘A shape’ major or 7th chord (the root on the 5th string variety) then it becomes a lot more useful.

Try this lick out for yourself, and make it a point to use it over the jam track below so you can get the hang of it.

This lick can be found in 50 Major Slow Blues Licks By The Box (if you need more like it.)

Want a cool slow blues in A jam track with it? That’s HERE

And the one chord (A7) jam track is HERE

The PDF of the lick is HERE

      Thanks Griff.
      I didn’t think I would make it this far, but I persevered, rewinding your video many times and memorising each lie as you instructed us to do.
      I am still very slow but getting there..What I really liked was playing the same pattern of each lick in a higher position that is getting me used to playing the squeaky frets, thank you.

      Griff you talk to much, you go on and on showing us 50 different cords. Just make it simple and show us the riff without all the different variations of this and that and this and that.

        For those of us who want to understand the basis of the lick and what can be done with it, rather than monkey see, monkey do, the talking is invaluable. BTW, it’s a lick, not a riff.

      Great lessons you are producing. I think the instruction is great, but I just wish I could pick it up quicker
