    Amazing, linking scales (not simply notes) with the chords of the 12 bar, I never thought of that. Thanks.

    Hi Liam. Thanks for the lesson. Isn’t it -4 instead of 4 in the V chord? Thanks.

    Hi sandrolopes, the 4 draw is an octave up from the 1 draw so it is indeed part of the arpeggio, but not in the lowest octave. Hope this makes sense!

    Can the backing track be in G major or should I use something else?

    Short answer - Yes. Long answer - Yes, if the track says "major blues" it will likely be seventh chords rather than actual major chords anyway. Using the word "major" in blues is usually just a way to differentiate it from minor, rather than saying it contains actual major chords (the difference being that the seventh chord has the addition of the flat seven).

    I'm afraid to ask... 😨 but if one was to pick this up as a dedicated hobby? Is it better get a few harmonics in a few keys you like or to go ahead and get the chromatic?
