Hello friends,
Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial. In today's session, let's discover an alternate way of performing our common blues scale and master an ear-catching lick utilizing speedy hammer-ons, pull-offs and bluesy embellishments. Let's get started!
Section #1 - The Minor Blues Scale
The minor blues scale is perhaps the most crucial scale utilized within the blues genre. Essentially, it is a minor pentatonic scale with the inclusion of a b5 interval. In the tablature below, let's learn how to perform this scale in it's common "E Shape" position, making sure to practice playing the b5 on both the G and B strings.
Section #2 - Lick of the Week
The following lick offers an exciting escape route from the typical minor pentatonic scale. Use over minor chord progressions or add a major 3rd interval when jamming in the major tonality, as demonstrated in our video lesson. Because this is a longer phrase, I recommend breaking it up into three digestible chunks.
