Mixing Major and Minor Scales - Better Blues Phrasing - Ukulele Blues Tutorial with Tabs

New Ukulele Tutorials every Wednesday and Saturday Did you know that you can mix both the major and minor pentatonic scales when soloing over a 12 bar blues progression? Not only that, but you SHOULD mix them, at least sparingly to make your solos more interesting. If you listen to the unplugged album by Eric Clapton for example, every single solo mentions them and there isn't a single minor 3rd on the album that he doesn't at least nudge up towards the major 3rd a little bit. Today we are taking are blues phrasing up another notch. We have talked about hitting the root notes. We learn to solo with the blues scale in the blues, this is just a minor pentatonic with the added b5th interval as a passing tone. The reason this scale works so great is because it has the Root, 4th and 5th intervals, the meaning the root note of each chord, but because the chords are 7 chords, the minor scale has the b7th interval as well Where it gets interesting is the chords contain the major 3rd interval, but the scale has the b3rd. Playing with this dynamic is very interring and one of the most fun ways to do so is mixing the scales. We will play a full solo to illustrate these ideas with a beautiful turnaround, blues chords, and some epic triplets.
