Happy New Year everyone! Thanks for watching the channel! If you want more exercises and examples, you can check out my book "Guitar Soloing Like a Pro" which is available on Amazon. Info here: www.bluemorris.com/shop
This is literally the video that i've been wanting to see but haven't found. I listen to a lot of blues and always wondered about those jazzy "transitional" chords that pop up from time to time.Thanks!
“Mmm sweet.” I laughed out loud at that in excitement. What an epic lesson. Thanks so much for this 🙏 Looooong time metal guitarist trying to start learning blues from scratch 🎸 🤘🏼
My first youtube video of 2023... and what a great start. Another one of those sounds amazing and conceptually quite simple tutorials. Here's hoping you continue to provide us with more great content. All the best to you and your family blue.
Thank you so much, That middle of the neck 9 chord ties in all of my other blues chord's like a champ for chordal shape walks, my missing ingredient ties it all together. The lead shapes make it almost impossible to hit a bad note. keep these video's coming. I've been playing for decades and teach. Your one of the best teachers. Hats off young man. Gypsy jazz on the way. Cheers.
Cool! Good idea. I have a video on adding the 9 to minor pentatonic if you haven't seen that yet ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DBaWwznXxnw.html
Nice lesson. But beautiful Samick. I just bought a 1996 Vantage 635v with SD pearly gates. This is the second one I have owned. Same company. Thanks for your great lessons.
You are fuckin great, SUBSCRIBED!! I just jumped into my first blues jam today, not bad but wasn't too sure what chords to play, I faked it, but now I won't! Thanks man
Thx for so enlightning lessons, always as simple to get and efficient ones ! Like your sparkling sound also, very bright and punchy in a good way ( treeble boost somewhere ?) Thx again for good job here 👍
Thanks, this is cool. I did a little exploring and compared the notes in each of the scales of A, D and E. What I noticed was that the notes that are common between them are: A, B, C#, E, and F#. which is the major pentatonic scale. So, wouldn't it be better to play the A major pentatonic scale over this chord progression rather than the A minor scale?
The blues form is a curios one, and maybe that's what makes it so fun. You are right, major pentatonic is the natural scale for these chords, but somehow minor pentatonic also works, the dissonance giving us the blues-y sound. So you can do both. I have a video coming soon on that 😀
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Yeah, I realize that the blues is basically minor scale played over major chords, and that's what makes it sound bluesy. Thanks for the feedback!
Seems that the major scale is more tricky to use on blues progression... Some advices needed to help avoid non fitting notes in that harmonic context ? Launching the major/ minor hard deal ? Thx again 👍
@@Flashtofchannel Major pentatonic will work on a blues form, though not the full major scale, you're right about that. I do have a video coming up that deals with switching from major pentatonic to minor pentatonic. It will be out soon :)
Sorry I don't. I'd like to make one, but I'm finding I'm running out of time each week. I have our Patreon group which is mostly electric guitar and soling, next up I'm working on Book 2 of my Soling book www.bluemorris.com/shop
Hmm not sure what you mean shape wise, of course that's hard to describe in text. There are some shapes that can be ambiguous on the guitar, and of course many that are similar but different.
It's the riff im playing at that moment in the video. See this tab from another video bars 1-2, it's the same: www.bluemorris.com/post/acoustic-blues-chord-solo-lesson
How are these dominant 9th chords if the 3rd is absent? Formulas keep saying that the 3rd must be present. This is confusing. I noticed the flat 7 but no 3rd.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm still learning but don't jazz musicians often omit the 3rd out of chords? So can't you still have a dominant 9th without the third? Or is the third a guide tone in that case?
The 2 and 9 are the same note, the difference is usually if you had a chord where you're playing the root 3rd 5th 7th and 9th you'd probably note it as a 9th chord whereas if you had the 2 further down closer to the root perhaps sus2. Same chord really but different ways to say it based on where they are relative to eachother. but really it doesn't matter too much, it's the same notes
Blue, if you carry on taking the mystery out of learning guitar then pretty soon any old chump will be able to play! 😂 How bout a lesson on those licks you used to fill between the chords?
I think this is aimed at people who are already used to 12 bar blues form and have gotten bored of the same old chords. This is the next step so to speak, if you're a beginner who isn't able to wrap their head around the 12 bar blues form just by hearing it (and most standard 12 bar blues forms are incredibly easy, they don't particularly move around past the I IV V unlike jazz, jazz blues, blues rock etc) then they probably need to return to this video after that. This is just spicing up the chords of that same basic progression
