#TenThumbsBluesChallenge - Day 7 - The Blue Note

New Ukulele every Wednesday and Saturday, subscribe and learn! Blues is very unique in terms of theory. It works, but it works by creating its own set of rules by breaking all the conventional rules. Normally in the major key a I IV V would be Imaj7 - IVmaj7 - V7, but in the blues we flatten those 7th notes making all the chords dominant chords, or 7 chords. As a result the minor scale becomes the scale that we use to solo, but there is still one discrepancy, the 3rd. The scale has the flat 3rd, but the I chord has the major chord. This is the blue note, the flattened 3rd that we can play around with to create a bright major sound over the I chord with both rhythm and soloing. If you play the G blues scale you will see a Bb note, if you play a G7 chord you will see a B note, it is those two notes, and melding them together that we get some really cool stuff with. A couple of notes about this, when you are playing with this you only go up, meaning you don't do pull offs from B to Bb but you do hammer on Bb to B. You can also do blues curls and you can also incorporate this into your shredding. Just know if you use this in your soloing, as well as your rhythm, you can only do so over the I7 and V7, meaning only over the G7 and D7, NOT the C7, which has a Bb already.
