When learning how to solo and jam, blues is the best for sure. After some time you can learn to apply these ideas over major and minor chord progressions, but the blues is so forgiving harmonically that it is a great place to get started. Sometimes though it feels like a daunting task to turn a scale into a solo, enter licks. These licks are examples of how to turn these two scales into music and riffs. To practice these, learn all five licks, and the scale, and mix the licks with some improvised lines.

My bad! I uploaded it to have the PDF. As we say here in Medell´ín, "Hice el oso." Which translate literally to "I did the bear" but it means "I dropped the ball." Hahaha, my bad for doing the bear man! All fixed.

Man, I've got a lot to catch up on. I lost my credit card while traveling in Mexico last month, so it got canceled, so you got no bucks... and I got no lessons. Sorry about that! As they say in Baja, it's a "todo madre" when you loose your credit card.
