Blues Guitar Scales - How Blues Scales For Guitar Work In Lead Guitar Playing 2008-01-04 22:59:00 The blues guitar scales are really based off of the pentatonic scales with one extra note added. We call that extra note the "blue note" because it gives the pentatonic scale its obvious "bluesyness." The only real difference between the scales on the guitar and the same scales on any other instrument is the fact that there is more than one way to play them on a guitar. This is due mostly to the fact that the guitar is a stringed instrument and there are at least 3-5 ways to play any unique note.The minor pentatonic scale is created using the root (or 1), flatted 3rd, 4th, 5th, and flatted 7th of a major scale. Notice that there is no 2nd or 6th scale tone used. There's an interesting reason for that but it requires a substantial amount of music theory to explain it and this isn't really the place for that.To create the minor blues scale we take the minor pentatonic scale and add a flatted 5th (or sharp 4) to it. In the key of A, this creates a scale with the notes A, C, D, Eb, E, an ...

A Primer on Hendrix Little Wing-Type Style 2007-12-27 11:44:00 Getting the feel for the Jimi Hendrix R&B type of rhythm-lead style, like the intro to “Little Wing”, really is not too hard to do. This lesson will not show how to play the “Little Wing” intro itself, as the tab is available elsewhere, but it will try to explain how to use that style with your own playing.The concept behind this style is to allow for a more full sound when performing with a three-piece band. The guitarist will incorporate double-stops (two notes played simultaneously, usually on adjacent strings) and triple-stops (three notes played simultaneously) with single note work. In it’s most basic form, it’s not that different from what Keith Richards does on things like “Start Me Up” and “Brown Sugar”.Since the whole concept is to combine rhythm and lead, I find it easiest to approach this as merely playing around with chord shapes. Let’s start by looking closely at a couple of barre chord fingerings for a D chord:The A shaped chord:E---5-------B--- ...
