You might know that there are times and places to use both the major and the minor blues scale when you solo over a blues…
But can you do it? I mean, really do it well?
As much as I hate to say it, it’s just not enough “in the heat of battle” to be just know it can be done, you need to have a plan on how to do it…
Luckily, here’s your plan 🙂

Another great lesson Griff!
I agree with Rob….Great “clarity” on this one!
You have explained this many times before.
For several years now I have been purchasing lessons and manuals
along with your All Access Pass.
This lesson just proves your determination as a great guitar teacher!
You nailed it this time Griff! Thanks!
Any chance you could provide some detail to the intro lick, maybe 3 bars? A very interesting lick. Yeah, I know you’re busy……. but it is rather cool. There are a couple things in there that are core.
Great video Griff and thank you for following up on yesterday’s video and addressing some of my questions regarding switching between the major and minor pentatonic. Perhaps you’ve done this and I know you’ve dissected some Clapton solos…could you dissect the first part of his iconic Crossroads solo and tell us what chords he’s playing major and minor pentatonic over. It seems to me he’s picking up notes from both at the same time during the solo rather than staying perfectly in box 1 or box 2 for the duration of the chord. Any I wrong about this? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts as to what is really going on there.. So I guess the question is can you mix notes from the major and minor scales over the same chord? Thanks.
Great lesson! The pivot point idea really clarified this concept . Thanks
Thanks Griff, always appreciate your lessons. I do this once in awhile but not enough to be proficient at it. Your right it’s just not really practicing it consistently that is my problem. Thanks for the reminder and I’ll get back at this again. Oh and I always get some rhythmic ideas from you in these lessons. Enjoy your day.
I’ve seen you do a previous video on this topic but I find this one, for me, had much more “clarity”. “Pivot points” seems to be the term that turned the lights on! 🙂 Thanks Griff.
