So… you think you know your blues boxes pretty good, huh?<\/p>\n
Well, you probably do, just not as well as you think. Because what happens is most students learn the boxes, up and down, from bottom to top and back.<\/p>\n
That’s great… it’s a great first step…<\/p>\n
But as I’ve said before<\/a>, you really have to know your boxes in all sorts of arbitrary ways because… in the heat of battle (in the middle of a solo) that’s where you’ll find yourself and you’ll be lost.<\/p>\n Now in a previous post<\/a> on this subject I mentioned the idea of flash cards to help randomize your practicing with this. And lo and behold, a resourceful BGU’er came to the rescue.<\/p>\n Harry (Patterson at\u00a0http:\/\/www.visiontm.com<\/a>) sent me a little program he wrote to basically create the flash cards and randomize them… and he said I can share it with you.<\/p>\n Now after playing with it for a while I realized I wanted it slightly different so I actually added one more card and had it all dolled up with some fancy images… and now it’s really quite fun and a great little learning tool.<\/p>\n So first, watch this video… then, check out the Blues Scale Guitar Trainer<\/a> (for lack of a better name…)<\/p>\n
