Over and Out
Very helpful, thanks very much.
Great explanation of how to solo over a chord progression – Thank you !
This is one of the best descriptions I have heard yet and it makes the process really easy to understand for me. I can’t wait to practice it tonight when I get home.
Thanks Again !
Keep on rocking. THIS IS ONLY ONE TECHNIQUE.

Hello. I live in Italy and I’m playing and studiyng guitar for 20 years, since I was 14 years old. I am sure that this kind of approach to chord changes is UNCORRECT simply because it doesn’t work and sound really ugly. Every day I’m trying to teach to my students how to improvise in a proper and MUSICAL way in blues, rock or jazz situations. Sorry guys but this video is the worst I’ve ever seen on youtube.
Agree. It only has some application on the turnaround. I would not call it incorrect, but only of very limited usefulness. It’s more of a cliche that is worth avoiding.
I HAVE THE SAME GUITAR!
hahaha stop at 0:36 xD
lol!
Omfg, lmao! XD

then you haven’t seen much.. beliieve me! It’s all kind of fucked up things here on youtube. go watch Chris Crocker, then you’ll realy gonna see a bad video.
There’s nothing wrong with this aproach.Rockabilly does the same thing using the Major pentatonic for each chord.
There is, Jimmy..belive me. A blues progression is a tonal sequence of chords. These chords are harmonically releted: we have to play on a Tonic chord, a Sub-Dominant, and a Dominant. In a “Modal” tune, where the chords haven’t got any relation between each other (eg.: D-7, Eb-7… Miles Davis tune “So What), the common way to improvise is to use a basic scale (the Dorian for “So What”) and move it a half step above or below when the chord is changing.
The way I consider Blues playing is a mix, in a way to say… Tonal and modal mixed toghether. The Blues Scale (minor pentatonic with extra notes) is a “modal” scale used in many styles of music. Why don’t play it on a blues tune? The only thing whe must know is that the scale do not fit the chord sequence entirely. Even if you are playing alone or whith your band you have to “underline” the changes of the chords…your audiance will notice that and will realize you’re playng a blues.
I told you that the way to improvise, moving one minor scale along the fretboard, presented in this video is completely incorrect. I was wrong! A skilled guitar player, I guess, could work this way and sound great just bending the strings to the right pitch. It is so hard for me to explane my ideas using the English idiom… I’m a bad English speaker. Last thing I wonna say: Rockabilly players use Major pentatonics for each chord and sound so nice.
Why the dude on the video uses Minor pentatonic on each MAJOR chord of the blues progression? I am plannig to make a few clips releted to the subject of this discussion. I hope the things I’ve just said don’t hurt nobody’s feelings… Music is my favourite way to express myself. I Think that everyone can play a blues the way he likes using his/her own taste.
Wow,
Been away from this U Tube stuff for a while. And a good thing. I did this video for NLG and the funny thing is, I came in with a lesson plan that was to show that a player could Slide the Minor Pan box over the V chord root when the band goes to the V. It is a cool technique used by a shit load of players. But… I was told to teach moving the Blues box over the IV chord also. All 3 chords, Which I never do unless I use a major pan box. I recommend contacting the head master Dave of NLG.
i dont usually do chain comments, but this one might make u smile(it did to me) even tho u dont need to do it. i like it anyways.

4. heres the thing copy and paste to 2 more vids it’s tru i tryed it yesterday and it actually worked lol=)
What a great tip! I (now playing guitar for a year and a half) would solo up and down the neck and over the backing track in the SAME key boxes throughout the whole 12 bars – but this tip makes total sense and will give me a great new dimension to my blues jamming. Thanks Tim!
Great comment. The penny dropped for me. Made me almost fall out of my chair with the ending.
Dave,
Pull me off this site, I will give you your 200 bucks back. You don’t respond to the students, I don’t get it.
Answer the questions Man.
Timo
Dave must get dozen’s of emails a day . Most are probably very basic questions that can easily be answered by other youtube viewer’s responding to comments. I say leave Dave along and let him focus on making more videos and tutorials.
