BLUES SOLO TUTORIAL #1

Mixing Major and Minor Blues Scales (A Detailed Analysis)

In this video, I’ll take you through a 12-bar blues solo I composed, followed by a detailed bar-by-bar breakdown to show you exactly how I approached each section. This video is a continuation of my "Master Blues Improv" series and it will help you understand how to blend different scales and techniques to craft your own blues solos. 🔥

What You'll Learn:

  • Playthrough of the solo: Watch and learn from a full performance of the solo to see how the pieces fit together. -

  • Bar-by-bar analysis: After the playthrough, I break down the solo in detail, explaining which chords I'm playing over and why.

  • Scales & techniques used:

    • Major and Minor Blues Scales

    • Major and Minor Pentatonic Scales

    • Mixolydian Scale

    • Arpeggios

  • Turnaround: Learn how I wrap up the solo with a classic blues turnaround to give it a polished, professional finish.

    Whether you're looking to improve your blues improvisation, build out your soloing skills, or just pick up some cool new licks, this video will give you the tools to take your playing to the next level!
