Are you enjoying the Blues Lessons?Would you like to master the blues scale?The blues scale originated out of a needto bridge the gap between the diatonic7 note scales and modes of European musicand the sounds brought to the United States from Africa.The origins of the blues go back to the earlyfield crys of the Deep South.There was a call and response that was sungas the workers worked the fields.A little known fact is that through these songs stories were told but also gossip and when the Under Ground Railroad ( a network of safe houses used to free the escaped slave) was running information was transferred singing these early hymns and field songs.So the Blues scale tries to bridge the gap.You can use the blues scale to get the blues sound by the arrangement of the notes.Do you want to learn how to apply the Blues Scale?To learn more about the Blues Scale and how your guitar playing will benefit: Click Here!

12 Bar Blues.

Do you want to learn the blues?

The staple of all blues players.

Would you like to play killer solos?

What exactly is the 12 Bar Blues?

Why is it 12 Bars?

In the simplest terms the 12 Bar blues is
a musical conversation... well actually a
onesided conversation.

The first 4 bars set up the story...

This mean man kicked my dog

Yeah this mean man kicked my dog

In the blues there is a lot of repeating so
get used to it.

The next 4 bars raise the stakes a little.

Tell me people Why did this mean man kick my Dog?

The next 4 bars are there to build tension and then release.

If this man kick my dog again?

I'll tell my dog to bite him back.

The next 12 bars raises the stakes again.

My dog only has 3 legs ....

Guitar Scales

The place where it all starts - as in the practice to play the lead guitar is with the narrower and major scales. The significant and less important scales are normally separated by just about four frets and properties are known as the relative scales. They are known as the relative scales as of one reason:same tones!

Whatever scene of music you're in to,major and minor scales are the basic of lead guitar. Master them before you can move to advanced scales. There are those of the some advanced scales and this is going to do you a lot of amazing music creations, and it helps a lot in lead guitar. Let us take a look at the attributes of the scale.

In a major scale,

Scale Formula: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7
Step Construction: W-W-H-W-W-W-H

In the minor scale,

Scale Formula: 1-2-b3-4-5-b6-b7
Step Construction: W-H-W-W-H-W-W

E Movable Chords

2007-10-03T21:35:00.000+08:00

Lets take a look on E chord. Now we will learn about movable E chord. The formula of A minor movable chords applies in E chord as well but in different chord. Once you master the E chord on a guitar fretboard, you are ready to learn a movable E chords so the F chord, G chord and even A chord will appear in E chord form. Just for reminder, this technique requires index finger as a barre finger and barre string must be correct in order to make the form chords sounds right and nice. Do your practice more often to master all of this chord. Practice make pefect!

Now we will form F chord in E chord form. Simply move the E chord half step front with the index finger barre the first fret. See figure below.

It can clearly see an E chord form in yellow dots and barre the first fret in blue dots.Here's another chord that using E chord form but in different fret. Move your finger to one step ahead and you will get a G chord. See figure below.

Then a one step ahead to form an A chord in 4th fret and B chord in 5th fret. As simple as that! Remember, the shape is still the same, only fret is different. Happy practice!

A Minor Movable Chord

2007-10-02T23:54:00.002+08:00

In this topic we will learn to form a chords using chords that we learn in a previous lesson. Basically, for beginners, there are four simple chords can be use to form a movable chords. They are A chord, E chord, A Minor chord and E minor chords. This is because these chords are easy to hold and the notes that form these chords are near with each other. Let see the A Minor chord first.

An A minor chord are form in the first fret and you can see that the fingering are not complicated. As I stated in a previous lesson, the music notes in guitar fret increase when we play the string from the guitar neck to the sound hole for acoustic guitar or the neck pickup for electric guitar. This rule absolutely can be apply in chords too. When we play A minor chords in second fret with index finger barred the first fret, we will get a A#minor chord. Can you here the different in term of sound? what you will hear is the sound will be more sharp than the A minor. Move the A minor chords to third fret and barre the second fret. This will give you a B minor chord and move another fret will give you B#minor chord. See the diagram below

A# minor in A minor form, 1st fret
If you look closely you will find that a yellow dots are in shape of A minor but in the different fret. The blue dots indicates the fret is barre.

This work also when you want to form a B minor and C minor chord. See figure below.

B Minor chord on A minor form, 2nd fret

C minor chord in A minor form, 3rd fret
If you go more deep into the fretboard, you will play D minor chord and so on. But remember that the E chord and B chord don't have a # (sharp)!
