How to Play Slow Blues on Guitar - Scales, Licks and Chord Progressions

Hello friends,

And welcome to another lick of the week! In today’s lesson, I’ll break down some of the elements in performing the rhythm and lead to slow blues in the key of C. We'll begin by learning a few useful scales before tackling a variation to our standard 12 bar blues. Your lick of the week will combine three scale patterns, while using the common minor pentatonic as a safety net. Let's get started!

I love this! 😀

Hi Rob, the 11fret for the D Position is still in the PDF. Please check.

How do we get the other 2 premium licks shown in the video? Thanks

Thanks, keep up the great work!

All fixed, thanks again Jack. Sometimes you can stare at these things for hours and still miss something.

Thanks for catching that Jack!

Can you check your D position C scale tab? I think you need 10-12 instead of 11-12.

It resolves on the tonic (c), and so it will fit best over the cmaj, I was using it to lead back into that c chord. For a lick that works well over the turnaround, check this out: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/stylish-blues-1-5807998">https://www.patreon.com/posts/stylish-blues-1-5807998</a>

Hey! Nice lick! But where in the progression is it and how bout some licks from chord to chord through the turn around! :)

That's true, I was thinking it would allow you folks to isolate one or the other. I probably should have mentioned that, but didn't foresee the issue of someone's right channel be off.

The mix seems to have the lead on one channel and the rhythm on the other, Check that. I'm deaf in one ear and had to flip the headphones to hear the lead.

Do you mean that you can't hear the licks at all, or they're just a bit too quiet for you to pick out?

In the demo it seems that the mic is not connected as we can't hear the licks with the track
