Super Solid Slow Blues Jam in A | Guitar Backing Track

12 Bar Blues was born more or less outside of traditional western music theory, that's why it's difficult to explain using the usual scales and harmony. You can play minor pentatonic AND / OR major pentatonic over a 12 bar blues, which is made of all dominant chords (Beethoven would never understand). The charts here outline my favorite approach, which is basically to use minor pentatonic for the first 8 bars of the 12 bar blues, then switch to major pentatonic for the last 4 bars. The key is to bend or slide FROM the pentatonic notes that clash (slightly) INTO the chord tones (Green Diamonds)... REMEMBER: THE PAUSE BUTTON IS YOUR FRIEND!

Super Solid Slow Blues Jam in A | Guitar Backing Track (58 BPM) Your goal as a soloist is to create MELODY. Our neck diagrams give you the notes you can use to create that melody in REAL TIME. Think of the Diagrams as 3 layers of information: 1. PENTATONIC - The pentatonic scale works all the time and almost never changes, so this is the basic level. 2. MODE - The mode will always be the pentatonic PLUS 2 NOTES (modes have 7 notes). The mode can change depending on the chords (modal interchange). 3. CHORD - The chord layer shows you the notes of the chord changes (aka the HARMONY) in REAL TIME. Outgoing notes get smaller and fade out, incoming notes will fade in, so you know what notes to go for next. In our app AlphaJams (currently in Beta), you will be able to control which layer you see, and how much of the neck you see. It should be out in the next few months, so please stay tuned!
