T-Bone Walker is as old school as it gets when it comes to the electric guitar, one of the first blues musicians to make the transition and he could make it wail. He was also one of the greatest blues musicians of all time in terms of flash and style. The man could move a chord. This lesson will cover the basic blues rhythm that goes from a D minor third to major third than up the D major arpeggio to play the 9th tonality and bend it towards the minor 3rd. Constantly hinting between major and minor, with slides and bends, that create a lush and tasty sounding T-Bone Blues style. As with all our blues tutorials we will have the tabs up on the screen as well as printable versions over at Patreon so you can print them out and go on your day rocking and rolling and learning to play blues quick and easy with tabs for the Ukulele.

I love this, but I definitely need some understanding of why this makes sense. In other words, I need to understand the pentatonic scales better, and to also know my fretboard better, I guess.

The best way do that is by transposing the pentatonic, I'll make a video on it for the Wednesday after this week, it'll bring a lot of light bulb moments!

Yo Tyler, been playing for a year. I can comfortably play hundreds of songs STRUMMING. Looking to dive in picking(in general) and BLUES really intrigues me. I am blown away at the various lessons and materials. However, i am overwhelmed. To make every one happy I am sure you hopping around doing a variety of lessons. If one(me) were to take up Blues from the beginning where should I start? I have watched your blues 12 Bar Blues In G and Blues in A strumming ones because it built on chords I already know yet give me somewhat Bluesie vibe. I also watched another video for couple "licks" for picking in G (solo jamming in G). I like the G sound better than the A. Is it possible to focus solely on G and exhaust that before I move on. I'd like to have some fluency in one key before I move on. Sorry for soliciting such personal tailor made advice, but I need some direction. I don't mind working hard, but I want to focus my efforts. I feel scattered. I have math degree and have been a high school math teacher for 20 years...and usually approach most topics with a frontal lobe approach...I have no music background before the uke. Music is stretching my brain in a way it never has. Thanks for your time and enthusiasm in the videos. I have seen many many videos and you have the best demeanor of them all!

My brother Daniel, ask away my friend. To answer your first question, yes, it is better to really get comfortable with a particular key before moving forward, having said that the key of A is the best to get started with because if you strum an open ukulele you have four notes in the A minor pentatonic. But, you like G, and I think that is great, so I would say exhaust the two of them. Keep jamming in G and A, here are all 5 pentatonic scales in A. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBURg0RYij4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBURg0RYij4</a> This is where you should start, now, if you subtract two frets (your math is going to come in really handy) than you have all the G shapes. So I would commit both to memory and I would also google "Blues Backing track in A" and "Blues backing track in G" and start to improvise with these scales. That should be the immediate focus of your playing. Try that, it will create questions, write me and we can fine tune it to really get you taking off. This is from a lead stand point, we will play with that before moving forward with advanced rhythm. You got this!
