Hey this is John with Learning Guitar Now.
This is podcast number 64 and in today's podcast I'm going to show you a blues intro that you
can use in the key of A.
So let's go ahead and start the lesson here.
I already played for you the lick.
What's going on in it?
_ _ I'm taking my second finger putting it on the A string on the seventh fret. _ _
And then I got my first finger on the sixth fret of the G string here to form this sound.
[Dbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [A] If you want to analyze it it's in the key of A so you have a fifth interval and a major third. _ _
_ Then I'm just [Bb] moving that down [Dbm] one fret.
_ [A] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _
Same pattern [E] _ A string G string A string just three times.
[A] One two three [E] move it back one [Cm] two three same thing [G] again.
_ For the final chord we're [C] going to be sliding in from the third to the fourth fret on the A [Db] string.
[A] _ Hitting the root note A [E] on the G string so we got a major third here and [C] a [A] root.
_ _ _ One more time [Dbm] slow _ [Cm] and _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ then I'm going to walk up to the five chord E7 5 [D] 6 7.
[Eb] _ [E] _ _ And then play an E7 chord which is just your second finger first finger on the sixth fret
second finger is on the seventh fret of the A string.
First finger on the let's see it's the sixth fret of the D string.
Third finger on the seventh fret of the G string for [D] my E7.
[Eb] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
And [B] then I'm just hitting 7 5 [E] 7 A string on the seventh fret of your third finger.
_ [G] First finger on the fifth fret of the D string.
And [Em] then third finger on the seventh fret of the D string gives you this sound.
[A] _ Straight from minor pentatonic scale and then we're just going to play the standard blues [Em] rhythm.
_ [A] _
_ _ [Gbm] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] So really slow that lick [A] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _ [E] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ _ _ and you can just use this as an intro for any slow blues.
There's a number of different things you can do for an intro.
_ You know just free guitar style you know there's no [B] really rhythm to it.
And then the band would kick in if you're playing with a band you know.
[Em] Right at this part _ [A] band kicks in or you know just a couple guitars just jamming the blues.
Here's a cool intro that you can do to start out the tune. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Db] _
[A] _ _ [D] _ [Eb] _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ That vibe.
So it's just a really cool way to start out a blues song and
the next step is to start improvising that.
You know [G] you got [Dbm] this _ [Cm] you _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] know and just start adding a couple licks here and there.
Change it around a little bit and then _ [Am] practice soloing over that groove. _
This is just [G] a little blues intro in the key of A to get you started.
Just try to remember this lick.
_ Play it very smoothly.
You can change the tempo.
Play it slower.
Play it faster.
You know [A] faster.
_ [Cm] _
_ [Bm] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [Eb] _ [E] _ _
