Playing the changes on a blues: my soloing secrets revealed

[@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.

[@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...

[@markhoffmann2625]

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

[@James_N34L]

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

[@Busyfingers24]

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

[@chewywomb]

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

[@jteichma]

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

[@ebisu8824]

*you're

[@menezesmene5489]

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

[@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.

[@mrbluetone8977]

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

[@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)?

[@G.S.W.SewmesomeMusic]

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

[@moose6676]

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

[@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!

[@rearlatspread39]

You teach it all. Rockabilly and blues

[@larsh.2894]

Can’t have too much blues. Play on!

[@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.

[@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.

[@manuelbockman1244]

Hmmmmm😋very😋tastefull‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😋🎶❤🎵(AND NOT ONLY THE LAST 4 BARS!!!!!!!!) ThnX😊

[@ianbartrum842]

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

[@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.

[@OTM87]

FYI y'all can give just 1 dollar per month like I do. It's so cheap for such great content. And if we all do it we'll keep getting more.

[@blumoe59]

Always enjoy listening, watching and learning from your KZbin video posts! Appreciate you sharing your artful guitar/music skills and time with us! PEACE!!!

[@robertoestebanmoreno6996]

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

[@drutgat2]

Many thanks, Adrian. Yet another winner.

[@VitalBigras]

Thank You for the PDF on PATREON 🙌🏼

[@glennmorrissey2529]

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

[@christovan8147]

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

[@Flare4roach]

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

[@TornelliGuitars]

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

[@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..

[@RedLion88]

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

[@grantsmythe8625]

Skip the lesson on this one and just keep playing. You got it rolling, keep it going.

[@RobertPickeringBucketList69]

Excellent! Thankyou...subbed.

[@teleacousticplayer9386]

[@WocPaul1]

Thank you. I learnt so much from this video.

[@seanandben]

A very cool lesson Andrew with some very nice playing and a lovely tone.

[@MarshallCommaDave]

Great lesson and that les paul is SWEET.

[@dowaliby1]

Adrian, great phrasing, feel and tone! Great lesson! Long live the Blues.

[@davetube2ful]

great playing is that your backing track at the beginning.

[@mickertyable]

23:15 - yes it does sound pretty good!

[@lucasdebarros8712]

Love that Les Paul

[@willriddell5374]

Excellent lesson. Love your channel

[@SanNjig]

[@stingaling]

Excellent lesson, thank you.

[@joeurbanowski321]

Great lesson..! Thanks! And I like your music on BandCamp… “ The Inky Depths “…Very cool..👍🏼

[@羅允駿]

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

[@ahmadataei70]

amazing tutorial thanks!

[@eyank57]

Anyone is the best ' 👍👍☝👍👍☝

[@duaneulman9915]

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

[@kenharte6553]

When your good it looks easy

[@andrewhenderson6219]

Brilliant Tuition Mate . Your a brilliant teacher . Andrew from Australia 🇦🇺

[@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.

[@johng2880]

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

[@ShlomirBareket]

When are you going to do reggae? Nobody does guitar lessons for reggae, its like one of the most interesting and rhythmically complex forms and not one virtuoso online guitar teacher does it. Afro beat as well. Nice lesson BTW!

[@carloscarlito73]

Great lesson Adrian! Thanks!!!!

[@Pablo-ft6un]

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

[@ragnadrabinowitz7629]

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

[@ellenzinni673]

Very tasty indeed mate. Thanks. Sending quid. Fran. Chance of pdf

[@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.

[@dansumigawa1414]

Feeling and passion always trumps technique, you don’t have to be technically perfect when you preform in front of the audience, you do have to be real!

[@mikestroud9969]

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

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Not my cup of tea but I appreciate you doing it and I will definitely use them. Like deployed 👍 😎🎙🎸✅

Thank you

[@johntchb]

222k that is some achievement,and you deserve it and more.Diverse ,precise and knowledgeable ,keep up the great work,good luck to ya

[@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...

[@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.
