Snag the charts and backing track below, this is gonna get your phrasing amped up FAST!
Thank you all so much!

Hey Ben, Do you have a diagram of the 2 note per string Dominant 7th arpeggios that you use with 5th string roots, for example like the D7 and E7 in position at the 5th fret? Thanks
2023-07-10 04:35:12 +0000 UTCFantastic lesson. I loved seeing you and Corey pickin’ and grinnin’ in chapter one. A blues noodling trick I learned years ago is to (more or less) stack pentatonic scales and use one for each chord. So that doesn’t make sense when I say it like that… Imma try to make sense now: In an A blues, you have A7, D7, and E7. Obviously, play A minor pentatonic/blues scale over the A7. When you hit D7, move to the B minor pentatonic shape (up 2 frets). YES, that DOES sound crazy in words, BUT the minor 3rd in B minor is D. And thanks to the old relative major/minor thingie, you are now playing D MAJOR pentatonic. You just target the D rather than the B that we all get used to for that shape. Then, move up 2 more to C# minor pentatonic over the E7, cuz yeah, the minor 3rd is E. The whole durned thing is either delightful or dope depending on the decade you were bornt in. And now I’m gonna have try and mix that idea up with the arpeggios! I’d love to see you explain that better than I can. Plus you’d take it farther than I have managed to.
