[A] [E]
[A] In an earlier [C] Uke Minute we showed you that for blues we [G] use 1 [Ab]-7-4-7 [E]-5-7.
Now since they're all 7 chords, we can use the notes within the alternate 7 chords [Bb] for blues soloing.
So there are two main alternate chord shapes that we're going to be using for this.
Our [C] G7 alternate chord shape [G]
and our D7 alternate [D] chord shape.
[G] Now let's use our A blues.
[Ab] So for [C] A7,
[A] [Db] our G7 chord shape [A] and
[Bb] [Ab] our D7 chord [A] shape alternative.
These are all A7 chords.
[D] Now next up, our [C] 4 chord, [D] D7, that's [G] already in the chord [A] shape that we want.
So what we're going to do is look for our G7 chord shape alternative.
[C] [Ab]

[C] and [G]
