New here? Wondering where to start? Click here

Hi Everyone,

Very few questions this week! But good ones.

Question 1: Dennis was wondering about how different kinds of scales (like blues scales or #6 scales) affect a blues solo. I talked a bit about how the chords inform which notes to play a little more than what scale to play! I've attached the worksheet I wrote for this section.

Question 2: Kevin T was curious about how to improvise riffs in a chord progression. I gave a few ways to start practicing toward that goal.

Have followup questions? Made progress after I answered your question? Post about it on the community forum.

Hi Scott, another question regarding the blues I hope you can help me understand better. I get the minor/major pentatonic and I also understand adding the flat 5th to make the scale even more "bluesy". But I was reading an article on also incorporating the major 6th into the minor pentatonic scale to make it even more "bluesy". That was something I wasn't familiar with so I thought I would ask. What are your thoughts on this subject? Does it get to be overkill always looking for ways to enhance the pentatonic or is it a natural progression in learning the guitar. Thanks!

Wondering if you can give us some tips on how to make that major dominant sandwich 🥪 was that mostard sauce and rucola? Wat about that 6 cm hight pastrami wall on it? Dude come on, don't do that, pastrami is the best thing on earth. After of course, Nutella. That was a low move from you! Is Sunday night in Germany. Everything is close. Hate you!
