[C] [B] These Jimmy Page blues licks from I Can't Quit You Baby are in the key of A.
It's a
12 bar blues in the key of A.
And actually the tune is in 6-8, so we think 1-2-3-4-5-6
for one measure.
The count in for you is me saying 1 [A]-2-3-4-5-6-1-2-3-4 and then your lick starts.
That's for when
you use the jam track.
Let's go over this first lick.
The goal of this lesson is to understand the use of major
pentatonic and minor pentatonic together.
Let's check out how Jimmy Page might think about this.
We're coming from an A7 chord.
It's form 1, E shape, dominant 7th chord on the 5th fret
makes it an A7 chord.
Here we can unravel two great scale choices, the major pentatonic
and the minor pentatonic.
The patterns that you should be familiar with for this lesson
are these.
Here's the major pentatonic.
We have the chord.
Major pentatonic pattern 2
unravels right from the chord.
Put the second finger on the root and here [B] it is.
[A] [B]
[C#m] [A]
I've [B] got
the scales accompanying the lesson for you to review in case you don't know it.
Moving
up to pattern 3, A major [C] pentatonic [A] and [B] [E] [F#m]
[B] [C#] pattern 4.
[F#m]
[C#] [F#]
[D#] I would review those major pentatonic patterns
and note [D] where the root note is in [A] each of the patterns.
From this chord, we also [D#] have
minor pentatonic.
Pattern 1 sits [A] right inside of the chord.
[D] [Em]
[Am] [C] We're going to use pattern 2
[A]
[C]
[D] and pattern 3.
[Bm]
[Em] [A] This is a great opportunity for you to review those patterns.
Take it
to the next level and play major [F#] pentatonic going up and minor pentatonic [A] going down.
Check it out.
Major pentatonic, [Em] minor pentatonic going down.
[A] [E] Start seeing the shapes, the patterns
inside of each other.
Pattern 3, major [C] pentatonic, [C#] [A#] [B]
pattern 2, minor [E] [Am] and so on up the guitar neck.
Great opportunity for you to take it to the next level with those ideas.
Let's walk through
the lick.
We're going to start off here on the 7th fret.
[F#] I actually love to do a slide,
although a slide is not notated and that's for a reason because you can add those things
in by yourself.
[A]
Classic, classic blues lick over a dominant 7th chord.
[Em] We can think about
that as coming out of that pattern 2 major [C#m] pentatonic.
[Am] [A]
[Em] Just classic stuff but then quickly
we're going to go and shift to pattern 2 minor pentatonic.
[A]
[C#m] I know you're thinking, well this
note isn't in the minor pentatonic scale.
[Em] That's okay.
In this case we're going to use
it as just a cool added note.
Keep that in mind for future use.
[B]
[Am] [B] Here on the second line
over the D9 chord.
[C] [B] I guess one thing to note there is to keep your first finger down when
you bend on that fret 9.
So I got 1 and 2 down and I'm bending.
[Cm]
[Am] [N] All very standard [D#] sweet
spot pattern 2 stuff except for [Am] right now [G#]
where we're going [F#] to end on this awesome note.
In fact that note is a C sharp and we're going to see this note highlighted often throughout
the tune.
C sharp is not in the [B] minor pentatonic but it's in the major pentatonic.
So we can
even think if we expand the idea that we've been in minor pentatonic with these cool bends
[Am] [B] [Am]
[C#] and then [D#] we just borrow from the [C#] major pentatonic and we can go down the scale [F#m]
and we can see
how that scale lays right [G] underneath that note.
[Am] But what a great way to end over that
A7 chord.
Minor, minor, minor, then a little major.
[B] [A] [D#]
Major [B] and then we'll finish off the
lick by moving up into pattern 3 minor [Em] and [C#] bend that major note which is living right
here on top a half step away from where we're at.
Great way to grab that note in a different
position.
This lick has so much for us to learn.
Definitely review those patterns.
