Blues Master Class Bonus

Bend and vibrato control, new colours in the A minor box, and soloing over A7, D7 and E7 with pentatonics, arpeggios and Lydian dominant.

What you will be able to play

• Bend to pitch with two or three fingers and match the target note by ear.
• Add subtle sour bends to the extended A minor pentatonic run.
• Alternate whole-step and half-step bends from the same note, with a quiet release.
• Bring the major 3rd into the A minor box with a half-step hammer-on over the I chord.
• Slide a three-note double-stop shape along the B string for a jazz-blues sound.
• Switch between major and minor pentatonic as a blues in A moves from A7 to D7.
• Play A7, D7 and E7 arpeggios in 5th position and solo a 12-bar using only their notes.
• Play D Lydian dominant over the IV chord of a blues in A.

Is it for you?

Intermediate blues players who know the A minor pentatonic box at the 5th fret, its extension, and the 12-bar form, and who can already bend a little. If your solos all sound the same, or you lose your way when the chord changes to the IV, this course is for you. Not for beginners still learning their first scale, and not a structured lick course: each lesson teaches one concept to add to playing you already have.
