Really fantastic lesson! I love how clearly you articulated intervals and walked us through it. Best intervals lesson I’ve seen. I had several ‘aha’ moments that I wish I had thought of year ago ;)
Great!! Meaningful Jazz/Blues Points!! really for any band player “staying in your lane” - not duplicating bass player)!! Dominic Miller saying similar as did Rick Beato, but Your Explanation and examples, were the simpler the better.
Slight mistake at 2:34 it should be G# not Ab. They are both the same note (enharmonic) but in this context of A major it should be notated at G#. Easy mistake to make!
Blues guitarist focus on making tritones intervals from other keys. How can you play a blues progression I-IV-V in the key of A and use other tritone intervals from other keys and make it sound good? because the tritone intervals can be made of from the major 3rd and flatted 7th or from the Root note to the flatted 5th makes a tritone interval by using other blues notes the flatted 5th from other keys of the IV and V. The flatted 5th in the key of D IV chord and the key of the E V chord are also blues notes. Good idea to go over this in a video lesson
Sorry missed this comment! You are right in the tritone is a strong element of the Blues. The flat 5 in particular and this tends to work better over a minor blues that it does over a major blues (the blues note over a major blues is a minor third). Players often play the blues note in a major blues across all 3 chords as the flat 3 of the chord they are playing over. But in a minor blues you often hear the flat 5 of the I chord over all 3 chords. This gives the flat 5 a different flavour in each case. For example over the IV chord the flat 5 of the I chord is now a b2 of the IV chord, but you can still make it work.
@@timdaleybluesguitar101 if you can do a lesson on the allman brothers using the flatted 5th blues note. Dickie Betts uses the flatted 5th when soloing in JAMS.
Your reference to moving from minor 3rd to major 3rd comes out of nowhere. You hadn't indicated the minor 3rd as an option before this. And what about the flattened 5th ? This is BLUES.
I was focussing more on diatonic notes to start with as that was the main thrust of the lesson. And yes the flat 5 is great I agree, but we don't always have to use it, plus this a MAJOR BLUES which commonly uses the major blues scale which is 1,2,b3,3,5,6 and doesn't contain the flat 5.
Very valuable lesson. Thank you.
You're very welcome!

Thank you so much. I love to hear comments like this. Makes it all worthwhile!
One of the best explanations I've seen - thanks for your time!
Thanks so much Jeff. Love the comment!

Thank you! Really appreciate your comment!
Great fresh take on this topic.
Excellent discussion of intervals...not often heard in the context of “the blues”.
Thanks Dave - they are super important!

I have started to think of the interval first instead of what note it is. Maybe it's because I already know where I am on the fretboard notewise.
Great stuff Graham! Intervals are king!
Thanks for this... I am going to work on this.
Great stuff! Enjoy, shout with any questions!
good music
Thank you! Appreciated!
