Playing the changes on a blues: my soloing secrets revealed

[@markhoffmann2625]

Thanks Adrian! I used so many of your videos to help me learn guitar, it's the least I can do.

[@textsmsmaster9884]

This awesome lesson reveals much more than just the 4 bar turn around with tasty licks, theory and tricks, etc., as many of the viewing players will notice is the use of the "C" shape rather than the standard "A" shape commonly used in basic jam sessions .. very interesting too .. Adrian always places gems for self discovery .. the focus on variations using roots, 3rds, maj/min, pentatonic with mixolydian adding chromatics off the "C" shape is so much more tasty, he makes us really work to wrap our head around their phrasings .. thank you for this very valuable solid gold lesson!

well said...

[@jeffreykahn5451]

Very clear explanations helping to understand the principles of soloing over chord changes. You are one of my favourite teachers and I appreciate the time and effort you spend helping us improve. Thank you so much.

[@kenkelly382]

Absolutely a superb lesson. I now have what I need to actually play the blues. Presented in a way that I understood the theory you conveyed. Thank you.

[@Pablo-ft6un]

I can only echo what others wrote already. Thank you Adrian. Excellent tutorial.

[@nomadman123]

You’re 100% correct about teaching the last 4 bars! For me, anyway. This is right up my alley and the more inspiration and instruction I can get on where to go on the changes, the more I appreciate it. Great lesson!

[@ianbartrum842]

Fantastic and clear explanation of playing the changes. Pure gold!

[@rearlatspread39]

You teach it all. Rockabilly and blues

[@drutgat2]

Many thanks, Adrian. Yet another winner.

[@James_N34L]

This is an AMAZING lesson! Thank you so much Adrian.

[@R91Grunge]

This was exactly the lesson I needed! Thank you for creating a lesson that focused on the last 4 bars and hitting those changes. You had a clear way of demonstrating concepts and scale shapes that we can use to make our own phrases. Best.

[@moose6676]

Followed this guy for a long time, he’s a genius 👍🏻👍🏻

[@chewywomb]

Youre the best man. Love your teaching style. Glad to see people are catching on and the subscribers keep growing!

[@davepriestley175]

Only just found this - 2 years late!! It really is a beautiful lesson, many thanks

[@Busyfingers24]

Very cool lesson, excellent teacher! Lots of ideas are just flying thru my head right now…thanks so much for this👍

[@G.S.W.SewmesomeMusic]

Right in-line with what I’m working on with my teacher, thanks! 👍☮️

[@note4note858]

This is a great lesson. I appreciate the approach in teaching and for not assuming we are beginners. It really helps with the lessons flow. Thank you.

[@mrbluetone8977]

Excellent lesson, thanks. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@jimc6687]

One of your finest lessons, Adrian!! One can truly tell that you care about making us sound pro and polished and these are all well-done nice licks yet still intermediately challenging! Jim C.

[@UrallsheepSWAYWUH]

awesome I did the same very thing. Like the puzzle is coming together..

[@jteichma]

Adrián your an amazing player! Love that les Paul sound too. My favorite blues lesson yet👍

[@ebisu8824]

*you're

[@chriss1492]

Great lesson and very timely for me personally: I went back this week and and relearned the solo that you taught several years ago in your, “Mixing Major and Minor Pentatonics” blues lesson. Lo and behold you present this gem which is the perfect addendum to that lesson.

[@fffrtyrty123]

Superb. Your tone settings and temporal procession worked as a flexy carcade.

[@TornelliGuitars]

It’s awesome that after all this time I can still find new channels with such great content, thanks, subbed!👍

[@fabiopunk1661]

This is GOLD Adrian! In my current life I play much less than I used to, but when I will be back this will be one of the first lessons to tackle.

[@dommccaffry3802]

great building blocks to go off on different musical journeys

[@mickertyable]

23:15 - yes it does sound pretty good!

[@MarshallCommaDave]

Great lesson and that les paul is SWEET.

[@garethjones8024]

Thank you Adrian for another outstanding lesson. As always I enjoyed watching you play and then try out your ideas for myself.

[@danielvelasquez8484]

Coming to Texas to play, great music

[@VitalBigras]

Thank You for the PDF on PATREON 🙌🏼

[@willriddell5374]

Excellent lesson. Love your channel

[@iantaylor827]

Thanks so much adrian. All really useful stuff.

[@sagig72]

Absolutely FANTASTIC lesson man! Please please make more of these, not just blues, but perhaps other idea examples. For instance, take some song or chord progression and demonstrate 6-7 ways to solo over it, then break them down and highlight the links of the notes/tones to the chords you're over. It'll be so useful and helpful if you can do this kinda lesson to other chord progressions.

[@ronvinograd6948]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you.

Great lesson Adrian! Thanks!!!!

Thanks so much Adrian...excellent video. Where I want my playing to be some day :)

[@WocPaul1]

Thank you. I learnt so much from this video.

[@phillipmcguire3335]

Thank you, Adrian. I will use these phrases in the 4th and 5th chord - very nice. From Australia.........

[@mikestroud9969]

Nice. Great lesson as usual. Thanks man 😎👍👌💯🎸🎸

[@theelderskatesman4417]

that was a better blues lesson than most hardcore blues guys provide on the intertubes. I mean, what other tutor teaches both how to sound more authentically bluesy (as you do here) and how to avoid sounding bluesy (as you do in an earlier pentatonic lesson)?

[@abrigospardos]

The blues is a style that's relatively easy to learn but notoriously hard to really master, and those four bars are what separates the children from the men (and women of course). I really believe you can never have too many turnarounds under your belt, so these elegant phrases you taught us are very much appreciated! Thanks a million! After a hard week at work, nothing like a good blues on a Friday, before that stormy Monday comes around...

[@robb2192]

Thanks for another great at lesson, much appreciated !

[@nomadman123]

A wonderful lesson and I dig the theory!

[@lexaunculpt]

[@lucasdebarros8712]

Love that Les Paul

I love it when Adrian does the blues! Mind you, it's no cat video set to Kraftwerk, still .....

[@gabegossack3438]

Great playing! But that guitar tone is awesome!!!

Tasty as a five course meal in my favourite curry emporium Adrian!

[@glennmorrissey2529]

Diggin' your potatoes Adrian, great playing and thank you for all your lesssons!

[@davetube2ful]

great playing is that your backing track at the beginning.

[@mattbockbrader2140]

Fantastic as always! Is there a genre you can't nail?

[@RedLion88]

Great phrasing. I too have the Archer. Are you just using it as a boost here? High output with no gain?

[@eyank57]

Anyone is the best ' 👍👍☝👍👍☝

[@ragnadrabinowitz7629]

great lesson, but i do have one suggestion... relating the phrases to the patterns of the CAGED system.

[@johnsee7269]

🤘 Rock on! BBish kinda. Robben Fordish. Great! 🤘

[@jackiedixon5076]

Love the blues. Thank you for this lesson.

[@Flare4roach]

Nice lesson. What model is your Les Paul? Has it been refretted? Don't see the nibs.

[@SanNjig]

Man that Les Paul is beautiful

[@menezesmene5489]

HELLO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEND THIS BACK TRACK? I AM FROM BRAZIL AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SOUND

[@jonjepson3650]

Great lesson, this is the first lick lesson I've seen that doesn't just revolve around the one chord. That guitar tone you have got is awesome, I can see a fender amp in the background, what model of amp is it. Never sell that guitar you will regret it forever 🤣

[@TheRealJanKafka]

The segment starting at 22:21, 'Gear Used In This Video', wasn't enough for You?

@@TheRealJanKafka I've not got that far, I will check it out 👍

[@robertoestebanmoreno6996]

Adrian which do you prefer...jazzmaster or jaguar?

[@duaneulman9915]

With out the backing track to me it sounds like Allman Brothers, I Love Allman Brothers !!!

[@christovan8147]

Hey Adrian hope you're well. Just wondering why no tabs?

[@teleacousticplayer9386]

heyyy where did you cats go :( Thank you for this lesson :)

[@JeromyBranch]

Thanks Adrian very well done. I have a buddy plays a 74 tele deluxe with those WICKED humbuckers sounds awesome. Every time he plays my 78 LP wine standard his accuracy improves, but the guitar just wont make those sweet overtones like his tele or his Strat. I think the LP is a more friendly guitar to play and easier on the hand, but the strat and tele give better tone. Just an opinion nothing more. Would love to have a LP neck on a strat.

[@manfredbazarov6417]

Amazing lesson as usual Adrian. I have a question. Maybe it's a dumb one. If you're in a blues jam with strangers, how do you know what to play on the turnaround when you don't know exactly what everyone else is going to play? Sometimes they change chord, sometimes they just hold on the Root chord? Can anyone explain to a dunce?

[@jackiedixon5076]

Actually, if your in a jam that are somewhat familiar with the 12 bar blues and are playing the rhythm parts on the drums, bass and guitars. You are playing the lead part, let's say your playing this lesson. They, the band, will fall in line with you or should I say vice versa with the 12 bar blues chord progression and your part will be just fine. You can adlib all you want within the scales of each chord. Because everything musically stays within the confines of every bar. I hope that makes sense. Maybe someone else can explain that better.
