Number 45, this is C blues and I guess from the title it's pretty obvious what
I'm playing here.
It's the C blues scale, a great scale as you know to play across
these blues things.
Combine the shapes as well, don't just stay in a box.
If you can
move out of the box that you perhaps know, learn one adjacent to that, either
lower or higher than that.
Come up with some ideas too and those different
shapes are going to give you [E] cool new moves to put under your fingers.
Physicalities and challenges are [F] going to give you great ideas.
Let's learn this
one then derive something [E] of your own from that.
[Cm]
[F] [Bb] [Cm]
[F] [Eb] [Cm]
[F] [Eb] [C]
[Eb] [F] [Eb] [Cm] So
[Gb] [Eb] [C]
I'm playing [N] the C blues scale over my C7 chord and I'm kind of phrasing it in two parts if you like.
And I'm phrasing that by using a pull-off from the F to the E flat [Abm] [Cm] to a C to [Em] a G, [Fm] [Gm] [C]
B flat to C.
So I'm kind of outlining the [F] C7 [Cm] chord.
[C] [F] Here's that again [Cm] and [Gm] [Cm] again phrasing it
without the track is a little [Bb] tricky but you can hear the idea.
[C]
And then what I'm doing is I'm pulling [Gb]
[Bb] off from the C to [Eb] a B flat here
and then I'm playing through our chromatic line, [Gm] [Gb]
our blues [Gm] notes if you like.
So [Gbm] a G, G [Fm] flat [C] to an F [Gb] [Eb] to an E flat [Gb] and then I'm ascending back through [G] my [Fm] chromatic.
[Gm] [B] [Ab] [Bm] [Eb]
Okay to my E [F] flat again, C, [Bb] [Am] B flat, back to [Abm] a C, [C] then E flat to the C again.
So we've got [Bb] this.
[Gb] [Eb] [C]
Okay so [Ab] here's the whole lick.
[C] [Bb] [Eb] [C]
[N] Okay I'm phrasing that again.
Listen to the track because you can push and pull this a little bit.
You could play, [Eb]
[F] [G] [Eb] [Am]
[N] you know, you could make it more bluesy if you want to as well.
So learn the lick as we've written it and played it for you and then stretch those things out a little bit and make it your own.
That's a
