Dont have a lot of money right now, I am laid off and going through a divorce so looking for some free tab of rock/blues blues type licks or runs. Anyone know where to find this other than the normal "tab sites", Ive tapped all those and they dont have to much to offer.
I always found it best to take a song or solo I like and look at the tabs for it. And you can find most of em’ on the internet. Other than that search "blues licks" in youtube and you’ll find a million & just figure out what you like … or search "blues help" or "blues lessons" and the like … different licks will show up, tabbed and played
I often listen and play classic rock on my guitar. However, i’m beginning to like electric blues. Where do i start?
The theory element of it is easy, as it is mainly based around a 6 note scale, which is just a standard pentatonic scale with a note added. Although, blues music does not just use these scales, artists use a diverse range.
As for doing something creative and emotive with the blues, that is something you cannot just learn. It is something you aquire. Playing blues can be harder than some of the stuff people like Steve Vai do, because it requires emotion, feeling, creativity, imagination and honesty.
Try listening to some Rory Gallagher, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters for some great examples of this.
As for websites about the blues I would recommend typing into Google ‘blues scale’ and ‘how to play blues’ and find some stuff which suits you. Also, try the website http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ for some handy tips and a great online community.
Hope this helps.
I really don’t know how else to describe it. There is a short tune that is played at the end of a ton of different blues songs, typically the whole band joins in and it last for a few seconds.
A turnaround?
I really think this stuff is giving me black and blues.
Bruises? Maybe… but it doesnt sound likely. Bruises are literally bleeding under the skin. Maybe you rub it in too hard
I already know all of the major and minor modes, as well as the blues scale and minor pentatonic.
By modes you mean Aeloean, Phyregean, Dorian etc?
Ok and You also know the pentatonic scales?
Here is a "Blues scale" that will be great for solo work In all positions
Tonic, #2 #3 p4 #5 #6 #7
the #7 is the enharmonic note of the tonic so there are only 7 notes on this "blues scale"
good question I enjoy answering these. I’m sure you will do fine
So to demonstrate on the C Blues
C D# E# F G# A# B# (B# is the enharmonic of a "C" which in case is the tonic)
Ionian is relative to the tonic
Dorian is relative to step 2
phrygian is relative to step 3
Aeloian is relative to step 4
by relative they have the same number of sharps and flats but conceptually begins on the relative tonic. (Similar to relative minor but begins on the relative tonic,)
This is just a beginning And i think I have conceptualized this question about as well as i possibly can without going on too long I am not totally positive this is what you are asking about in the first place so i need to stop here.
i do believe I have aswered your question about as thoroughly yet convieniently as i think I should
An F Blues scale is: F, Ab, Bb, B, C, Eb, F.
What is the scale for an F Blues *minor* scale?
Please provide another source to verify your answer. Thanks!
The blues scale is a minor scale.
There is no "F Blues minor scale"
I am a very active person, however when it’s a gloomy day I tend to not care to do anything. So maybe someone will have a cool suggestion on how to beat the blues.
You may suffer from "Seasonal Affective Disorder".
Best treatment for that is bright light. Some physical movement helps, too. Turn on the lights, put on some good music, and get out your yoga mat or a workout video.
