_ Okay, here's some ideas for soloing in blues style.
I'm in the key of E.
I'm just going to put down a 12-bar blues shuffle. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ This is major [B] pentatonic.
Major [E] finger _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
1, 5th fret, B string.
Finger 3 goes down on the [A] 7th for an F sharp.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [E] _ Pick up the C sharp on the [B] 6th fret.
_ [A] Okay, this is quite a smooth sound for my solo.
Also, [E] what I can add to that is the E blues scales.
[B] Just on [Em] two strings.
I'll go E, finger 4, [E] _ _ [A] _ _
A, [E] B flat or A sharp, [F#] _
B, [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[F#] G, _ 6th.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [A] And _ _ [E] _ _
_ the other [B] technique that was on the B7, 5th, 4th, up until E blues scale.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] So we center ourselves around the E, 5th fret, B [C#m] string.
And work off of this C sharp on the G string, 6th fret. _ _ _
_ [Gm] These sounds _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [G#] from the major [F#] pentatonic. _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] Finger there, I'm very good at part, that's the pivot point.

[F#] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ Commonly with a triplet.
_ [F] _ _ [A] Clapton days, 7, [G#] 6, 5 _ [Dm] _ on the E, 8th, [F#] 7th and 5th on the B string. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ When it [B] goes to the B7, we can use B minor pentatonic.
[B] _ Just for that [C] one bar.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ Staying in that box, getting as [C] much music as you can.
[C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _

_ _ [Em] _ _ _ The [B] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] positions I move to are the open E blues scale.
[A#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ From the 12th fret, a little bit of E minor pentatonic and blues scale up here coming in.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[A] _ [G#] Passing up until you get [E] A. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
How do we do that?
G [B] sharp sometimes?
