[E] I'm going to talk about some dominant seventh lines here.
This will be for the key of E7.
[G]
[E] [Gm]
[E] Like most guitar players, I use my mixolydian mode for this, along with a little of my major
pentatonic and a taste of my minor pentatonic too, just to make it bluesy.
The first idea I have is just going to be straight mixolydian to start with a little
minor pentatonic at the end.
[Ab] I'll start on the third again like we did on the major chords, but this [E] time I'm going
to go up [Em] third, [E] to the root, to the [Ab] fifth, [Bb] to the seventh.
[E]
I like the sound of that.
That's nice and open.
[A] [B]
[E] [Dbm] Next one I'll try is starting on the third again, but down low.
Listen to the sound of [E] this.
A flat five.
[A] [C]
[E] [D]
[E] [Ab] The low third to [E] the seventh, to the root, and [B] then up a fifth.
Then one of these little Jeff [E] Beck type bends.
[A] [B] A major pentatonic [E] lick, [Em] and then one of the double bend things that you hear Hendrix and
people like Joe Walsh do, where you bend up one note.
[E]
[C]
[E] Even though I'm using a little of that minor [Ab] pentatonic, it still has the E7 vibe to it,
which is really the way the blues works.
Another line I use is this same line we did number one, [E] but on this string.
It gives a whole different sound.
It's much fatter and warmer.
[Em] In [Ab] that twelfth position,
[E] you could continue, [A] but I like to go [Gb]
and [Abm] drop down to this major
pentatonic position, which is the ninth position.
[E]
[A] [B]
[A]
[G] [E] [Dbm] It's got a vibe to it.
Here's another idea.
Sliding into the third.
[E] I can come up with a nice line like this.
[A] [Ab]
[Abm] Sliding into the [Dbm] third, to the root, up a sixth there.
[E] Sliding down, then doing the same lick.
[Abm] Sliding up to the sixth from the fifth.
[E] I break out of that pattern.
This is almost like a little rhythm [Gb] guitar chord lick I use.
[E] And [Ab] [D]
[C] then, so, [Ab]
[E] nice dominant seventh kind of a sound, but very open and major sounding too.
[Abm] [Db] [Ab] [Fm]
[F] [Abm]
[Ab] [Bm]
[E] I'm going to talk about some dominant seventh lines here.
