What I mean by that is: although the decorations are probably the very first thing people notice, they just can’t exist without the rest of the house. So where is the melody, or solo in all this? A melody is like a decoration to the outside of the house (Christmas lights or Halloween pumpkins…). In music, the chords are like the walls of the building- they hold everything together (in “key”), and create the part that everyone can see- but they are nothing without a solid foundation (or solid rhythm section)! Next, we have the ground floor, this is like the bass- providing a link between the main foundations and the rest of the building, which is like the chords and harmony. The foundations, going deep underground, are like the drums- providing the main support for everything else (without a drummer, you can’t “rock”!). Now, if you’ve read the previous articles, you should have a fair idea of what’s going on with the chords in a 12 bar blues, but what about the lead parts? Well, what many don’t realise when it comes to guitar solos is: you’re only building off the harmony that’s already there. In order to use these shapes, just move the scale so that the red notes on the diagram are on the tonic of the key you want to play in (so, if you’re in C minor, the red dots should match up with all the “C” notes on the neck- see my diagram of guitar notes (.pdf)). In the scale diagrams below, I’ve marked the root notes in red, and the “blue” note in…well…blue. To create the blues scale, you take the pentatonic scale and add a “blue note”- the flat 5th (compare the shapes below, to the ones for the minor Pentatonic Scale) In this lesson, we’re going to talk about the “minor blues scale”. The “blues scales” are basically a variation on the pentatonic scales. If you really want to learn every major, minor and pentatonic scale for guitar (along with the chord-tone arpeggios), you’ll want to get my new ebook ‘Advanced Guitar Basics: Scales and Arpeggios’ (click the link for more!).
