I have another major blues lick from more of the major blues sound…
As I mentioned in a previous video, major blues licks usually bring along a bit of the minor blues scale with them…
Minor blues scale licks usually stand alone (kind of weird, but it seems to work that way a lot.)
You have to learn this and memorize it and play it if you want to be able to use it… no one wants to hear that, but it’s not something you just play a few times and you own it.

Yes, I’m not too inefficient when it comes to learning new stuff. But, first of all, I’m 77 years young and only recently I took up guitar. Now, I had a stroke in May of this year, so some things come more slowly than others.
Now, here’s my question. Please explain Just what is the…. I IV V . I keep seeing people mentioning this and I just can’t figure it out.
Thanks for answering.

Keep on picking

Griff, you’re exactly correct about “the mind’s ear,” just like “the mind’s eye.”
In Physiological Psychology circles, where they study the actual processes that go on in sensory processing, they are called the “echo” and the “icon,” respectively.
They were first discovered as a part of processing sensory input. Your ear has an echo in your brain after you hear something. It’s how we can hear a string of notes and then learn to play them (“learning by ear.”).
Later it was discovered that the reverse happens when we “hear” something in our mind, then play it. It also happens when we speak!
Scientists know that, in the case of the auditory system, there are 2 locations in the temporal lobe that are involved in this process, one called “Broca’s area” the other “Vernicke’s area,” and the two nodes are connected by a high-speed nerve tract called the Arcuate Fasciculus.
All of those structures were discovered through research of victims who have suffered strokes. It’s a fairly common injury from a stroke, and the sufferer can actually “hear” what they want to say in the one area, but cannot form the movements to speak the words in the other.
Now you know!
Hey Jeffro,
Nicely said and I wonder, do you think we can learn optimally and creatively, if there was a hack into balancing the Vestibular System? I’m glad that you brought in Proprioceptive Awareness in relation to music. If your visual memory clicks in fluently, scales become platforms and a nice diving board into improvisational waters.
Please Griff, Some Frank Marino? Love your lessons!

How come the brilliant Roy Buchanan never gets a mention?
