The Blues Scale + Approach Notes

Post by ReaGeorge »

I've been experimenting/learning different aspects of playing the blues for a while now, but haven't yet looked at the Blues scale...

It's such a simple scale that just fits over a standard blues progression, and if you include the approach notes of a major 3rd, 9th and 13th it can really sound great.

Check out my video on it here: http://bit.ly/bluescale

Here's the solo from the video on soundcloud: http://snd.sc/19WgEV9

I play a: Jackson/Charvel Model 6
Through a: Marshall TSL100, Roland JC-120, ZenDrive
