In this video I’ll show you how I take the same basic chords that I always use and turn them into soloing tools.
This is a style of soloing I really love and I hear it from players like Robben Ford, Matt Schofield, Chris Cain, and many others.
You’re effectively “chasing the chord” as you play over the blues but if you keep the chord shapes in mind, it doesn’t seem that hard 🙂
If you dig this style, you might dig my Chord By Chord Blues Soloing course.

Thanks but am I missing something….are we still playing the minor pentatonic but without the 4th and going to the flat 3rd for a blues sound?
Sounds in the ear brain tells you it’s right
That was cool Griff. I’m going to practice going back and forth between chord chasing and pentatonics. I’m also going to try to add some double stops.
WOW! What a useful couple of patterns to know. This adds to my understanding of what Chuck Berry was doing
Awesome Griff. Presented so clear and clean. Thanks man. Just what I was needing on this.
This is so Cool! Very clear and easy to understand!
