How to Solo Over a Blues Turnaround | Key of E

Added 2017-11-20 22:57:40 +0000 UTC

Hello friends,

Welcome to another lead guitar tutorial. In today's session, I'll be sharing with you a simple, but powerful approach to soloing over a blues turnaround. We'll begin by reviewing the 12 bar blues chord progression, and your scale positions. Last, I'll break down each lick into easy to learn sections. Let's get started!

Your courses have been such a great refresher for me, I really like your teaching style my brother. Great stuff, thanks!

Yes, I've taught several lick lessons using the major pentatonic scale. You might like this one over a standard 1.4.5 progression in Cmaj: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/major-blues-tips-7192732">https://www.patreon.com/posts/major-blues-tips-7192732</a>

I understand your front door back door video. You have loads of minor pentatonic licks with tabs.. Do you have things like this for major pentatonic which is what I need.

Right, of course! Thanks so much.

Hey Jim, those are the chords I’m playing over. One good thing to know is that you can play minor scales over major chords for a rocking effect.

Hi Rob! The PDF (page 2) labels the solo sections as follows: Bmaj/Amaj/Emaj/Amaj/Emaj/Bmaj. But aren't these actually minor blues scales?

2017-11-28 02:28:42 +0000 UTC

Hi Rob your PDFs are such high quality. Great work.

Hey Bryan, I agree, it’s much more useful to learn systems than random techniques. Anytime you learn any lead trick, it’s always very important to understand the context. I’ll keep lessons like this coming!

As a beginning blues lead guitarist I find this kind of complete lesson more helpful than just learning scale patterns and individual licks. This lesson will take me some time but it is really useful to see the scales and licks in context. Thanks as always for the great content. Bryan

Thanks so much for your help. I wondered if I had #2 backward. Your answer is a big help!

Hey Dawn, as always, great questions. 1) You can play minor blues scales over major keys for a more rocking effect (think Clapton) or you can play major blues scales for a more mellow vibe (think BB King). 2) That's actually backward, the upper extension contains the same notes as your minor pentatonic scale, the BB's box is a major pentatonic scale surrounding the C position of a major chord, I'll make a lesson for that soon. 3) One thing to keep in mind is that any position of the minor pentatonic scale can be made major and visa-versa, just by changing a note or two.

Hey Andre, that's really good to hear. Keep up the great practice, and I'll be back with some more blues lessons and I plan to complete that solo blues guitar series very soon! Thanks!

Hey Lucas, the fastest and easiest way is to refer to the videos YouTube description where I post the lessons corresponding patreon link. You can actually search my videos on YouTube by title for faster access. You can also use the tags system on the post page, I have tags organized by band name, genre and subject.

2017-11-21 22:30:47 +0000 UTC

Hey Rob how do I search for lessons?

2017-11-21 22:26:44 +0000 UTC

A terrific and rich lesson on my favorite topic! Now questions: Why are the chords here major chords while the blues scales minors? Lately, I realized, if I'm correct, that the notes in the pentatonic extension align with the notes of the E major scale while in BB's box the notes of E minor. But maybe I'm wrong about that. Is there some kind of natural compatibility with pentatonics? Thanks for putting up with my questions. I think this stuff is just amazing...just like you!

2017-11-21 12:28:46 +0000 UTC

I love the 12 Bar Blues lesson series you create. It really helps me evolve my playing from pretty lame to awesome. I'm having so much fun with these! Keep up the good work, mate.
