I love your tutorials, some of the best on KZbin. You've managed to give just enough explanation without making the lesson too slow and boring. There's a wealth of priceless information in them, enough to keep the average guitarist busy for years. Thanks so much for posting this wonderful free resource!

Thanks man! Glad to hear it!

[@simpsimpson5175]

Good lesson. Man Ive been studying blues for ages and this is the first lesson which clearly explains how the licks fit over the chord progressions. I knew a gazillion licks but never quite understood how to place them. In context it may help students to understand that the Amin pentatonic lick over the 1V chord is actually a type of "key change" - { in this case playing Amin is Dorian mode playing out of G maj which fits over the D7 which is myxolidian of G

[@rogeliogauvin2388]

yeah key change because you are playing in a mode. I get it but it blows my mind anyhow.

[@gtoctane]

After learning about 80% of the neck in blues and pentatonic, this lesson was the most valuable I've ever had. The overlap of the 2nd form minor and 4th form major as well as the 1 fret spacing on 2nd minor/2nd major forms allows me to have at least 1 more beer at the next gig. :-) Also worth noting for your title that Brain Setzer does this a ton in his songs!

[@larrygag88]

Best lesson I've found in a very long time! Alot of meat here. Please note your "rule" here is for over a Major 12 bar chord progression, not over minor chords. Great licks to master!!!

AAAAAARGH! Why couldn't have I had this to study from back in 1985 when I first discovered Eric Clapton and his contribution to Blues and then Rock music with the John Mayall's Bluesbreakers album and his tenure in Cream!! This is an excellent introduction to mixing up the Major and Minor Pentatonics scales for Blues - Kudos, sir! Liked and Subscribed!! Greeting frae Bonny Scotland ;-)

+Taylor Niedermaier yeah I may do that. But that is really the rule - start to experiment with it, and you'll figure out the best way to do it by ear. That's the best way to learn it.

I skimmed thru these while watching tv. plan to go back and play in more detail. Looks like all examples are for the 1 and the 4 chord. Did I miss the 5 chord? Or do you just do a turnaround at that point

Thx for the depth of lessons that u give. Have to admit though, I sure miss your "strat from hell" with the H/S/H Suhr pickups. How I long for that tone!

Amazing videos geezer! Where did you pop up,from? I've subbed and am loving it

[@Dcba964]

Just a question please, i notice your first 5 licks work perfectly on the 2 first bars of the 12 bars. Then Lick 6 covers bars 5 and 6 . What about bars 3 and 4, when we keep A7 for the 2 bars ? Do you make the exact thing penta maj/min that you do on the first 2 bars? I guess there is at least one bar where it is better to rest, leaving a space? This is something that kills my solo since i don't get the rule ...Thank you!

[@tba1879]

[@aeksinsang932]

Nice. If you never play the major 3rd on 7th chords you ain’t playin’ real blues. You teach on the side or is this your full time job now from your site???

[@simonefanti8797]

thanks

[@musik102]

It should really be mentioned on the first lick, and others, that there is a lead in partial bar( measure, for Americans)I bet some are confused because of that.For example, the second bar starts with the 5th fret to 8th fret hammer on.

[@roanmccormick2297]

Awesome bro!

[@musik102]

Clarification needed! Now, I have read that when moving to the four chord ( D here) f# ( the 3rd of the chord) is a great note to target. But, A minor Pent Scale doesn't contain a f#...what gives?

[@faymous99]

Great Lesson !!! So you play major or minor during 5 chord ?

[@GuitarLickDojo]

In the turnaround you start on the 1 chord and end on the 5. So start off on the major, and then land on something that goes well with the 5 - you can just land on a good chord tone - like the root. You can do minor over the 5 - the last two beats. You can get away with a lot over the 5 though, not just minor.

[@faymous99]

I see that you have some licks for turn around at end :) .. Excellent lesson. Can you suggest a good backing track to practice licks on ?

[@GuitarLickDojo]

+Faymous Tom I'm going to upload one soon.

[@logicnotfeelings3835]

Thanks for the lesson, I just wish your lesson would have matched the lead you opened the video with, because it doesn't. None the less, I've learned some nice licks, so thanks again.

[@xpmark1]

Does it take some overdrive to give the fast licks that flowing feeling? Any other pedals help?

[@GuitarLickDojo]

I'm not using much overdrive here. The flowing feeling comes from good hammer and pull off technique. You have to play each note for as long as possible and have them bleed into each other. If you don't do this, even overdrive won't help much.

[@mr.jogger8346]

Btw, do you post the licks to print them out?

[@christophed7355]

Good job! Except the key ain't A when you play am penta (C major key). A major penta is in the key of A. The confusion is easy because of many common notes with A maj and C major.

[@lyoneljunior]

Please, do you use 009or010 strings? Thank you. Escuse my poor english

[@ingridsevilla2872]

[@jimmaculate5]

I didn't hear him announce the V chord, is that Major or Minor?

[@jesusdelossantos5928]

What is the chord progression? Are the chords are major or minor?

You are telling major on first chord and minor on forth chord? For example major is A the first chord and minor is D the forth chord. But u are playing major A and minor A?

[@sempercompellis]

did he go over the 5 chord?

[@xbren86]

What pentatonic do you play on the 5th chord?

[@equalleftrights3130]

Doesnt matter, what matters is you concentrate on the triads of the 5th chord and resolve the licks on those notes. And if you don't already know, you have no business asking that question for now. Go learn the Am triads all over the fretboard first.
