Soloing over a jazz blues has a lot [N] of challenges for any guitar player and one of the biggest
challenges that you're going to have to deal with is navigating the key changes.
[G] In a jazz blues you [Bb] basically have [Gm] a 1 chord or [Bb] a 1 7 chord, which in this case would be
a B flat 7.
What you need to be able to do [Ab] there is play a B [Eb] flat mixolydian scale.
When [C] [Bb] it [Eb] switches to the 4 chord, [Bbm] you're going to want to be able to play an [Eb] E flat mixolydian [Bb] scale.
[Cm] [Bb]
And for the 5 [A] chord, you're going to want to be able to play F mixolydian [G] over that as well.
So there's a lot [N] of key changes, there's a lot of modes, you can use arpeggios over this
and a lot of times the guys [Bb] just simply play the pentatonic scale just because it sounds
awesome [G] and you don't have to [F] make all these different key changes.
So if you're not [G] familiar with those scales, go to practicewithaguitar [B].com.
We have all of them there that you can practice with at all the different tempos.
[N] That'll be really helpful for you to improve your soloing, especially in this jazz blues setting.
And one of the [E] other really big things that you want to be able to do to solo over a jazz
blues is to make [Gm] simple phrases.
[G] And that's what this solo does [Eb] in 4 bar groupings and it's really, really helpful and really useful.
You can hear that, [Bb] [G]
[Bb] they would call [G] that call and response phrasing is one way of wording [D] that.
And [Ab] you can hear [Bb] it where measure 1, covering the B flat chord goes, [G] then measure 2, covering
the E flat chord, there is [Db] a call or a statement and then an answer to that statement in those
[Bb] two measures alone.
[Eb]
There's a sound [Bb] [G] [Gb] and it goes back to the original one and then it ends the whole thing with
this last [Bb] statement.
[F] The other aspect that you'd really want to work on for making the changes [G] in a jazz solo
like this would be [Db] to be able to nail [E] the arpeggios.
[Ab] And because you have B flat, [Bb] E flat, B flat, [Eb] F7, [Bb] and back to B flat.
There's a few other chords as well, like [Ab] there's a G7 in [Dm] here, there's [Cm] a C minor 7, [A] and there's
an F minor 7, or F7 rather.
[Bb] [F]
A lot of key [G] changes and you can simply, [F] rather than playing scales, [Bb] outline these chords
by playing arpeggios [Eb] rather than just scales.
[Bb]
[F]
[Dm] [Eb]
[Bb]
So these are all really useful patterns and important [A] patterns to learn.
Hammer-ons, [N] slides, shifts, and pull-offs are all really important in this [Gm] style of
soloing as well.
[D]
[Ab] You can hear [C] right there, [Ab] there's two slides that sort of help you navigate the key [Fm] changes
and the arpeggios.
[Ab] There's a good [Fm] example there.
[G]
[Bb] [Cm]
[Gm] [F]
[D] It gives you a nice [C] smooth sound.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson.
