Many of my students come to me only after having spent many years trying to learn how to play the blues…<\/p>\n
And often, even after they’ve learned some scales and licks and solos, they still struggle to play something they can be proud of, or something they really enjoy.<\/p>\n
The problem doesn’t lie with more scales or more licks or more patterns or “more” of anything, it lies in something a lot of people will call, “phrasing,” but I like to call it “playing with intent.”<\/p>\n
Check out the video and let me know what you think and if you’ve tried it for yourself.<\/p>\n
If this approach is totally new to you, you might want to try Beginning Blues Guitar Soloing<\/a>, but if you have more experience soloing, maybe check out Soloing Without Scales<\/a> for a new way to look at things.<\/p>\n
