Scales are for solos and chords are for rhythm playing... right? Whilst this is often assumed to be the case, chord voicings can actually be used to play tasty blues guitar licks that highlight the chord changes.
You see, whilst all of your favourite blues players - Robben Ford, Josh Smith, Joe Bonamassa etc. - all use scales as part of their blues guitar improvisation toolbox, they also see the value in visualising chord voicings too.
So, in this free blues guitar lesson, I'll be showing you how visualising a particular dominant 7th chord voicing can open up new pathways for you as an aspiring blues improviser, and help you get a step closer to landing on the right notes at the right time.

This one on page 72. Thanks Ross. Playing 55 years and really appreciate this.
Great little lesson, Ross! You presented a valid and valuable approach to using chord tones in solos. We're all tired of hearing ourselves and others wanking with a single minor pentatonic scale that fails to fit all three chords. Well done!
Hi Ross, I’ve got your book and recognise this as an adapted part of the online content. Just want to say how beautifully you integrate relevant and memorable bits of theory with fluent segments of actual playing. So often it’s one or the other. When you’ve assimilated theory as deeply as you have and got to such a high level of technical proficiency, it’s possible, as you demonstrate, to select what’s relevant from both areas and show how the knowledge works when experienced as ‘feel’. Great stuff. Thank you.
Thanks so much Steve!
@@RossCampbellGuitarist It's a pleasure, Ross. Your excellent teaching and playing deserve all the praise they're getting.
I love your honesty. There is no magical scale out there it's repetitive practice and slowly you realize you're getting better and that encourages you to practice more seeing more and more progress. Yes I have your bulletproof book and I love it. I bought your book ok Amazon or I should say the course.
I got your book and working through the 3rd chapter. I’m taking my time to make sure that I get the theory down along with understanding how to apply it. I’ve been learning for about three years now and I’m exactly at that point where I got scales down, but can’t seem to make music from them. I’m looking forward to learning from your book and make that jump.
Just ordered the book looking forward to getting into it. Your right about the minor pentatonic. I’ve been stuck in it for years trying to work out how to do the changes. Your video described very well why you introduce the major 3rd and it has really helped. Another one that really helped was knowing where the root notes are on the fret board starting to build up that ‘uncomfortable’ knowledge!
I immediately bought your book (both digital version and hard copy to have it at hand all the time) I already have to say: it is a real gamechanger! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Awesome to hear thank you 🙏🙏
My suggestion to the Austin Public Library about ordering this book is under review. I'm prepared to say it's worth it just for this one lick, but I know some of what else you've got in there from the masterclass.
If everybody who saw this requested it at their own library, and you only ever sold one copy to every library in America, you'd be rich rich RICH!
Its fucking insane that we are getting this info this well taught and well paced FOR FREE. I bought your book, I'm still going through yet I still find value in your videos. You are the GOAT mate keep on. Thanks for the hard work my man.
Thank you so much
Diggin deep Ross thanks again
🙏
My copy of your book is arriving today.
Looking forward to it very much.
Your teaching is so easy to understand. Thank you, Ross! I just purchased your book from Amazon. Excited to get started!!
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy it

Thanks Michael!
Damn Ross! I wish I were younger because your style of teaching is exactly what I've needed for years... you're amazing
Thanks a lot Paul 🙏
Thanks Ross
Everytime I see another one of those videos, I am more tempted to buy your book. I'm unable to afford it right now but trust me it's high on my to-get list! Can't wait!
Hey Ross, ordered your book yesterday, can't wait to dig in.thanks for doing what you do.

Always putting out great content, Ross. love your book Beyond Pentatonic Blues Guitar. If you don´t have it, buy it.
Can’t wait for my copy of the book to arrive. Just one request: make future books spiral bound please.
Ross, this lick is so cool, I just ordered your book to learn more.
Ross I have your book on order. Meantime, I can definitely say that although I "knew" a lot of material & ideas you put up on your videos, the way you explain it has helped greatly, in a short space of time, to PUT IT TOGETHER IN CONTEXT, something so many other platforms just do not articulate. So, I'm looking forward to learning much more! I can play well, BUT, know I can play so much better & never stop learning, so thanks mate 👍
Stephen from NZ

I bought the book and it’s excellent. I’m on Chapter 4. My only wish is that it could be available in the Apple bookstore so that I could read it and highlight it with my iPad.
Thank you Michael 🙏
Can you use this approach with all genres as long as you understand the chord structure of the music? great book btw..
Sweet guitar! I am buying your course/book. What model Fender Strat is that a custom shop?
I need the Book Ross
hey mate steve again don't worry about my previous message i found them sorry (you know what they say if all else fails read the instructions) thanks again have a nice day .. its raining here today
nicee bro
ROSS, those are called Approach notes, not passing tones. FYI A passing tone is inserted only between two notes that are spaced a 3rd apart. There are different types of approach notes, diatonic approach notes, chromatic approach notes, etc An approach note is a half step down from the chord tone/target note.
Never heard them called that before! Only heard 'passing note'. Learn something new every day.
@@RossCampbellGuitarist yea classical and jazz composers use diatonic and chromatic approach notes. SRV used Approach notes as this slippery texas slurring effect which he will RE-INSTATE notes or repeated notes adding in these "texas approach note". You need to watch a lot of SRV live concerts and watch how he uses those texas approach notes to make a video lesson about it.
@@waynegram8907 I've done a couple of videos on this subject before actually. If you search my channel for The Infamous SRV Lick you'll find it :)
@@RossCampbellGuitarist When SRV, Dan Patlansky, Kenny Wayne Sheppard are playing scale runs when descending or ascending the concept is when you go back 2 notes you add an "out of nowhere" grace slide approach note, when is reinstating the note that was plucked the first time but you continued going down or up the scale but when reinstating a "previous note" in the scale you reinstate it with a texas slide approach note. You keep adding in these "out of nowhere:" texas grace approach notes when doing fast scale runs. Example you're playing a scale run A-B-C-D-then add an out of nowhere texas grace approach note between B-C then you play D-E-F-G then you add in out of nowhere texas grace approach note between E-F.
@@RossCampbellGuitarist The minor pentatonic scale has Omitted The 3rd and 5th chord tones for the IV & V chord which aren't in the minor pentatonic scale of the KEY. When you add them back into the minor pentatonic scale having the IV 3rd chord tone and V 3rd & 5th chord tones add them into the minor pentatonic scale, what is the scale called? because its NOT a minor pentatonic scale anymore.
Morning Ross, Steve here in Sydney Australia, I just purchase your book via a pdf download it mentions listen to backing tracks are they available and if so how do i access them
thanks mate !!!!
It's always cool and important to build up a solo in ways that think outside the box and are just more creative. Gotta know the rules in order to break them, after all! Cheers Ross
Good way of putting it! Thank you sir
@@RossCampbellGuitarist Thank you so much! Always a pleasure to tune in, simply put
Just got the book a few days ago. So far it’s been great! Looking forward to working through it :) Great work!
Awesome Kevin, thank you!

HI Ross I am trying to purchase you Book Beyond penitonics but not able to set up a Amazon account. Each Time I go to my email to get coge verification I lose what I already entered ? Can you help ?
Ah that's a pain Darrell! It sounds like it's beyond our control though unfortunately. You may need to contact Amazon customer support to sort out this issue. Alternatively you can buy the PDF version directly from GuitarVivo if Amazon doesn't work out
