[C] _ _ _ _ Welcome to Metalworks Institute Keyboard Tips.
I'm Peter Kadar and today we're going to talk
about soloing over the blues. _ _ _
So, in the key of C, _ _ _ _ we're going to use the blues scale and
it's a great scale because we can use one scale to solo over three different chords.
So, that scale is [Cm] C, E [F] flat, [C] F, F sharp, [Bb] G, and B [C] flat.
_ And finally resolving at C.
_ Now,
when we start soloing on the blues, I recommend to students that they don't just start randomly
running the scale up and down.
Instead, take an entire chorus of blues and just play one
note.
So, take a one note solo and then as every time each chorus goes around, what we're
going to do is we're going to add another note to that scale.
_ So, it's going to help
you get the most music out of the minimum number of ingredients and it's going to also
help your ears because you're going to really start to hear these things and you're really
going to notice when other players are using the blues scale.
So, I'm going to demonstrate
right now with a one note solo.
Check this out.
One, two, three. _
Here we go. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Play a chord
there.
Here we go.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _
[C] _ Now, I'll do [Cm] two notes. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _
[D] _ [C] _ _ [F] [C] Starting to sound [Bb] not too bad [Bm] already.
[Eb] _ [C] Now,
assuming we go through all the other notes in the scale, eventually what we wind up with
is something that sounds like [F] this. _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] [Gb] I'll take [C] another one.
