Blues Challenge is back in September! What should we do? Another key? Something like the Crossroads Challenge? A particular player or style? Let us know if you have any suggestions in the comment section.

Today we are going to learn how to play a flashy and fun fingerstyle blues in the key of E. I wanted to try incorporate some of my favorite blues playing on the guitar into the ukulele but I am also trying to incorporate some of my own original ideas to make it sound fun, funky and, well, original. I have some really cool chromatic chord changes and I am using a town of chord shapes to make this happen. Leaving the blues scale and also using the major scale, mixolydian scales and some other arpeggio and cool ideas. This one is a ton of fun to play but it'll take a little work, once you get it down you'll have a really fun 12 bar that you can play as a solo in the key of E, you an sing over it, you can modify it, you can take some of these ideas and put them in other keys.

Will Improve

Multiple chord shapes around the fretboard
Using the Mixolydian with the changes
