Good major blues riffs: 1) That's the way of the World. - Johnny Graham 2) Blue Sky/Rambin' Man - Duane Allman 3) Doctor Funkenstein/Pass the Peas- Fred Wesley 4) Reeling in the Years- Elliot Randall 5) I Was Only Joking - Rod Stewart's guitarist(?)
When you play the blues, you usually use more the minor pentatonic even if the blues is in a major key. You can use the major pentatonic on the tonic chord and the minor pentatonic on the rest of them, it works very well. The diagram has the minor pentatonic with one added note from the major pentatonic, the major third wich works very well on the A chord. Hope this answers your question :)
Ok I'm new again, but when i was younger i was told to learn the pentatonic scale. How do I apply the shapes I was told to learn with the key that these backing tracks are in? This probably sounds real stupid but I'm really trying to learn I just need a lil kick in the right direction.
@@aaronfairless8165 I'm new at this too, just started learning a week ago. I just find the right key that the songs are in, then I search for the pentatonic scale of that key (minor/major) and then start playing those notes that are in the pentatonic scale, and try to make a good solo out of it Then you can explore more frets, use a little of techniques (like hammer on, slide...) Hope that helps!
This is a major blues progression in A, but in the blues you can improvise with the minor pentatonic over a major tonality. However that doesn't make the song minor, it's just an option for improvisation. And that's why I put the diagram for the minor pentatonic with an added major 3rd to fit the A7 chord.
I love how simple it is and help me a great deal with my playing. Thanks
Thank you Simon! That was my goal exactly ✌️

Can f#m pentatonic work on this track?
The F# minor and A major scales share the same notes, because they are relatives, so yes there is no difference ;)
I thought this note scheme ( minor pentatonic) only works with A minor ?
