The key of C on the blues, so much fun. With that lovely nice C note and the open C string this key offers a variety of fun and creative ways to shred some amazing solos, so let's take a look at it! The keys of E and A are the most important, after that C, G and D come in as the next three most important. This lesson will show you 5 different licks in 5 different styles that you can use to play the blues in C, but it is also going to talk about how they resolve and when you to use them in the context of a 12 bar blues in C. Why is that? because that way you can modify the licks to make them more yours, build of them to improvise, see how they connect with the scale and use them to create something that is more unique to you.
At the start of this tutorial we will look at the ukulele scales that I used to build the licks, and they will have tabs. I am playing this lesson on an electric ukulele with a low G, but you can play on an acoustic ukulele with a low G or an acoustic ukulele with a high G, all ukuleles will sound great with this lesson.
The scales used in this lesson were used to create licks that are inspired by T-Bone Walker, Jimi Hendrix, specifically Little Wing, as well as BB King and how to mix the major and minor scale and how to mix swing and straight times.
