When One Scale Isn't Enough - Ragtime Soloing Ukulele Tutorial

New Ukulele Tutorials every Wednesday and Saturday Today we are going to play an 8 bar blues solo, 8 bar blues overlaps with ragtime music, you could make that argument that tin pan alley and ragtime music is just a collection of AABA style arrangments inspired by the 8 bar blues, or vice versa you could say 8 bar blues is just isolating a piece of ragtime and tin pan alley music and looping it. One of the challenges of this style of music is the fact that it uses a ton of borrowed chords, secondary dominants and non-diatonic chords to the point where your standard scale just wont cut it. If this progression was just a basic progression in C you could use the C major pentatonic to solo over the whole thing, but we an E7 which introduces a G# note, A7 which introduces a C# and a D7 which introduces a F# note and speaking of F# we also have an F# dominant as a passing chord from F to C which is not in the key of C but rather comes from the key of G. That means that we really need to think about note choice and how to approach the solo. So to deal with that what I am going to do is compose a solo and walk you through each phrase one by one and talk about exactly why I chose the notes that I chose. So you when you see the E7 come you will know how to solo over it, not only by what I play but I will also talk about WHY I play those notes meaning you can apply these ideas to other chord progressions, compose your own solo to the same backing track or be prepared to apply these ideas to fluid improvisations.
