Thank you for sharing your knowledge! This video will encourage me to explore playing “out” a bit more. Here are some other patterns I use when playing “in” that might be helpful to some players. For each chord, over a major blues progression: Minor blues pentatonic Major blues pentatonic Dominant pentatonic (1 3M 4 5 7m) Dorian Myxolidian Dominant arpeggio 3rd degree Diminute arpeggio (3M 5 7m) 3rd degree Diminute pentatonic (3M 5 6 7m 2) 5th degree Pentatonic with a 6th replacing the 7m (5 7m 1 2M 3M) Hope it makes sense...
The five first sentences of this video SOOoo nailed what my state of mind was BEFORE I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for making us better players. My kids already like peas... But, Toothpaste with brussel sprouts might do the trick! 😂.
I'm so stuck and no one I post my frustrations to reply. I been doing nothing but scales for 2.5 years. Still not smooth and fluid. Sounds forced and choppy transitioning to each note. I been super focused on picking and hand sync and they just don't want to do it. After 2.5 years I would think my brains subconscious would take over and let it flow out. It doesn't. My problem is, what do I make my brain do while practicing? What do I think about, focus on? All these physical things people teach, but there is a mental aspect that NO ONE even acknowledges. What do I do with my mind to make all this work??
You have to be able to hear what you want your next note to be, by sound not just by position. Know the intervals between notes that sound good when playing over a particular progression. Play up and down the strings more instead of just across the strings to free up your hands to feel their way from one note to the next. Don't get caught in a box. Let go and make mistakes until you can feel what should come next and play it naturally. Remember also, in blues it's impossible to play the next note wrong if you can use the one after that to bring it back into perspective.
"its a conversation" an eye opening for me. :)
"It's a conversation. You don't want to start right away being -- weird.. " GREAT lesson man!
more a leson in life than in music
Just came across your channel and I really enjoy your unique approach to teaching expression. Thank you

Great lesson! :-)
Sounds great David 😀
Excellent 🤙😎🎸
All right you've convinced me I'm putting toothpaste in my peas for me and my kids for dinner tonight we're going to love it I guarantee it
Not something I listen for when I'm hearing blues. I think I'll stick with a few mode style flavors instead. Thanks all the same!
maybe not jazz rock fusion but seems more like jazz-blues fusion, which is exactly the ticket for me thx Dave
I’m not tired of my blues licks but my wife sure is 😂
Hahaha!!! Mine is too!
Is the backing track available to I can practice this lesson?
Not in this one, sorry!
