- Welcome to this weeks lesson! Let's dive into some basic tools we need to start building a Blues vocabulary.
Many of the notes used in the Blues fall within the major and minor pentatonic scales. As I demonstrate, we can make great sounding solos with that alone but, if we want to dive deeper into outlining each chord change, we need to know our arpeggios.
I'll show you exactly how I go about practicing these scales and arpeggios by grouping them together in 5 different positions. These scales and arpeggios provide us with a blueprint for many of the notes we can use to be expressive over the Blues and, by mapping them out all over the fretboard, we can play start to play with freedom!

I love how Jack says, in short: Copy the great players... which is of course sage advice: But start by copying jack first... because he's done the work and you can just park your car right here and fill your tank with premium licks and runs - as tasteful and stylish as the best of all times / subscribe and start breaking his stuff down today, I've gotten better in less than a month just by literally stealing his runs - its PURE GOLD people... this has been a lifesaver for me and I've been playing for almost 40 years
Yep, I just came across him today and instantly subscribed and hit the bell. Been playing 44 years and its plain to see how much and how fast I can learn from this guy!
Well said Andrew!
Jack Ruch and B.B. King. These two will take you a long way.
You put a big smile on my face w the park your car line. That’s was as good as Jacks phrasing.
Nailed it, this guy makes me feel like a kid again and I’m 70!
The more I watch Jack, the more I realize the man is an encyclopedia of music theory. Going through those shapes and scales like that with no mistakes, no pauses, and no cuts of the camera is pretty amazing. The Lord gave you a gift my friend!
Thanks John!
More likely, he worked his butt of to master it all.
This ^ a hundred times THIS !
I can't get enough of your playing. Beautiful phrasing, clever lines, and you let every solo breathe. Thanks so much for another brilliant video. -Mark
Thank you Mark! I appreciate it
Guy is a tone pappy man...
This is the first lesson in a long time that I kept coming back to practice until it felt solid. So easy to look for knowledge anywhere else instead of deepening what's already there!
What an excellent lesson. I'm 72, and I've been playing acoustic guitar my whole life. I just recently bought an Epiphone Dot and a little Fender Vibro-Champ amp. I am having a blast, thanks to these great Jack Ruch tutorials. Thank you, Jack!
68, Epiphone Dot and having a blast too. 🙂 Greetings from Germany
JACK! Watching and listening to the first 56 seconds of this video reminds me of the the first time I heard Robben Ford or Mike Bloomfield, even Clapton with the Bluesbreakers! Except that you present it without going over the top with show off speed, playing so classy with that extra touch of jazzy knowledge that makes the simplest riffs come alive with newness, it kills me! Playing 56 years now I’m 70 years old and Robben’s teaching course I took was complicated when it didn’t need to be, like he was showing off during his “lessons” I came away feeling like I learned nothing. Flat. More knowledgeable but uninspired. Your touch, sound, FEEL, and “outside the box” knowledge just kills me, like the first time I heard you. Makes this old man feel the way I felt the first time I heard Bloomfield, etc. like a kid again- excited! Thank You Again!! - SJB
Please Jack, more of this kind of effective lessons...🙏❤❤❤
Absolutely! Thank you
The most helpful, thorough and well-explained guitar video I have ever found. My worst student could comprehend this.
Jack’s voice is smooth as his playing.
I already love your playing and lessons. I have been playing professionally for years but you can Always learn something new. Thank you Sir..
I've loosely known these 'layers' of scales and arpeggios for a little while but struggled to incorporate them into a coherent exercise. Seeing a full demonstration of this in each position of the neck is just what I need to consolidate that information. Thank you very much. I know this one will bear results.
This video is gold, and very well-presented, thank you!
Thank you Jack for a solid lesson. I’ll be referring to this frequently. So kind of you to share your knowledge and passion.
Jack, you're a hero man. The way you play is so nuanced and beautiful, but also the way you explain things is very clear and practical. Thanks a lot!
Incredibly useful. I’ve been looking for a comprehensive approach to straight up practicing/exercising and this is perfect. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant lesson! Thank you Jack! So clearly explained. This is really something to sink my teeth into.
Jack, great lesson thank you. In the middle of your Truefire Course and loving it. Many thanks.
Thanks Jack, yes very helpful in seeing and making the scales and arpeggios

Thank you Tim!

Thanks Jack. Very helpful.
Thanks for taking you time and share this with us
My pleasure!!
You right hand is a thing of beauty, Jack. Relaxed and moving around getting different sounds and textures wherever you go. Awesome, man.
thank you!
Thank you so much Jack. That was a Master Class of knowledge and practice material delivered succinctly in just 8:24. I am making a vow to myself to take advantage of this treasure trove of guitar gold and dive into this wealth of info in the coming days. Thanks again.
That's great to hear! Thanks Alan
This was a great lesson, Jack. Hugely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
My pleasure!
I love your lessons Thx
Your knowledge and ability of this has been a (needed) gentle rebuke. I have been playing Professionally since 1966, but I realize how that got in my way. "Well, I'm already making my living doing what I love, and on a fairly large scale, so I don't need to work on all of that." (Opened for the Allman Bros. in '69, and Ricky Nelson in '71). That was FOOLISH thinking. I share this now, for any of your students who may fall into that self defeating nonsense. I let YEARS go by where I basically played the same thing every night and spent NO time at all learning anything beyond what I knew. DON'T DO THAT! I watch your fluidity and your immediate knowledge of WHAT you're playing, and I kick myself in the butt! That being said, I want to thank you for posting such a valuable lesson, and encourage your students to LEARN IT... ALL OF IT! God Bless You!
so helpful! I need help with how to practice this and this is huge. Thanks Jack.
Bravo!
Infinitly useful stuff. Really appreciate videos like this!
Thanks Dennie!
Absolutely awesome playing beautiful
Crazy fingerings you use I've seen a lot of guys do this but not playing the intricate lines you come up with.
Your a great combo of blues and jazz sensibilities. Love your playing
Thanks Barry!
A pleasure to watch and hear, now…let’s practice!
Great lesson Jack! Super helpful to show the same 3 chords ( scales and arpeggios) in all those different positions so a student my find one they might not be familiar with and can use that for strengthening their ability to improvise more freely. Have a blessed day! Keep up the killer work!
Super tasty playing, and great explanations. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome!
Another outstanding lesson. You always help me to expand my playing. Thank you.
I'm glad to hear that Robert! Thanks for watching

Great lesson, thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
❤ - Tremendous wealth of information for Dominant Blues, Thank You….. very easy connection of the pentatonics and arpeggios for the various positions.
Format was perfect…
1) Example Solo / Transcribed
2) Chords in backing
3) Scales Used
4) Target Chord Tones / Arpeggios
5) Connecting each fretboard Position.
LOVED IT!!! ❤
*** Could You please consider doing this for a Minor Blues in G.
Wow!!! So refreshing to hear a player choosing all the right notes instead of fuzzed out mindless noodling. Must have listened to Larry Carlton and Robben Ford a time or two.
As a brand new subscriber I have to say I sure am glad I stumbled across this channel.
Such great playing!
Thank you!
epic playing bro.
Beautiful playing!!
Thanks!!
So THAT"S where Robben gets his starting points! Done looking at TH-cam videos for the day, headed back to the 335. What a totally cool way to break this down Jack. BIG Thank You.
Thank you Robert!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!!
Excellent wish I’d seen this 20 years ago
Inspiring lesson again. Thank you. I’m looking forward to your TrueFire course as well.
Thanks man! I can't wait for it to be out!
So glad I found this. Really hard to find a how-to for arpeggios.
