5 Common Blues Licks and Why They Work 355

Hey, Lee! New sucscriber here...great analysis about the "why" of things. I really appreciate your explanation of which notes are chord tones as opposed to those outside of the chord. I gotta work on my rakes (which you do well) because that's the secret sauce in making these licks sing. I'm going to dig into this lesson and learn them all. Awesome content, thanks!

Just what I needed !

Rather than a raised 6th the Dorian mode has a b3 and b7. Natural minor has b3, b6 and b7 and harmonic minor has b3 and b6 with natural 7th. An MA in Jazz makes me a bit of a theory nerd! 😬😉 Great licks, thanks for your excellent demonstration!

love this lesson subscribed right away

A lot of pennies dropped for me there, many thanks!

Great lesson! Not sure why others have not done this! Thank you

Very helpful

2nd lick like a rolling stone John Mayer 🤔🎶🎵

I love learning guitar liked and subscribed and shared, thanks

This is my type of instruction. The WHY things work.

Gj...we all know the "letters", but always looking for new words if that makes sense. A newer approach to make em all musical

Thank you for the class!

DONT WRAP YOUR THUMB AROUND THE NECK!!!! You will only upset somebody!

Great lesson thank you!

This is by far the best blues lick lesson i have watched on you tube. I will be practicing it until its drilled in to my head. Thank you very much. You're teaching style is wonderful.

OBTW: Having the tab written out is HUGE to me.

This would have to be the best, easist to understand and follow "how to play the blues" clip I've ever seen. Fantastic work Lee!

HI THERE MY BLUESBREAKER MUSO MATES 😂 THANKS FOR THIS PODCAST,,,,,, err a bit random but checck out a song by John Mayall song 'BERNARD JENKINS theres a brilliant lick in there,,,, err the mixing of major and minor is for me crucial ,,,,, i mean i love Walter trout but Walter plays very fast but most of his stuff tends to play it straight, Walters minor type blues are Phenomenal by the way 😂 im not an expert and if im talkin a load a B-------CKS by way please let me know 😂 err if you are just beginer if you play your scale 3 frets down you are then IN THE MAJOR PENTATONIC,, and you need to mix it up for classic blues where the major 3rd s in there,,,,, i use,,, tinker with the Aeolian Dorian mixolidian and Diminished modes as well as the PENTATONIC 😂 err before i bugger off ROBIN TROWER IS IN HOLMFORTH IN MAY ❤ I LOVE ROBIN TROWER ❤ much love from all at Warrington blues club (err check out DANNY GATTON if you don know him) ❤

PS I LOVE WALTER TO xxx ❤

Xcellant! Nothing like a little Blues for breakfast! Das 😎 all! Das 😎 cool! Thanks!👍👏👏❤

we should have had internet in the 60s ,we just learned from friends or a record or some useless books . thanks for sharing the blues.😊

Lick 2 or the BB King box is pattern 3 not pattern 2 in the minor pentatonic. Which overlaps with pattern 4 in the major pentatonic. BB king and others use that spot to mix minor and major. Pattern 2 of the minor pentatonic is the Albert King box and referred to as the house of blues.

well you got a new suscriber! The way you teach is very good and fun to learn. You definitly got something here! keep on the good work!
