This is a shining example of how to mix the major and minor blues scales\/sounds using boxes 1 and 2 of the blues scale…<\/p>\n
It pivots around the root up top (which I talk about a lot) and then ends on the major 3rd instead of the minor 3rd – creating a pair of perfectly major bookends around an otherwise minor blues idea.<\/p>\n
I stole this fair and square from Matt Schofield, but truth be told it’s not an unusual idea and it’s the kind of thing a lot of guitar players might play.<\/p>\n
In addition to the lick, itself, I hope you’ll watch the last half about how to learn and really assimilate the lick into your own playing…<\/p>\n
Most people do this very wrong and don’t spend nearly enough time and energy on each new idea – leaving them, in the end, with little to nothing they can actually play well \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
There are 2 courses of mine that outline some of these concepts:
