Glad to hear it:)

Forget scales! All 12 notes are available to you over any Dominant 7 chords. First the tritone of 3-b7 or b7-3 are easy to find and will always be the most “inside” in a Blues with 3 Dominant 7 chords. Say the chords are A7-D7-E7; play EADGBE on frets 3-4-5-6-8-9 for A7, and all one down for D7 and all one up for E7. Those tritones are guaranteed to be the most “inside” for any Blues with 3 Dominant 7 chords. Now, to those 2 notes, start adding to them until you can find 1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6-b7 which is Mixolydian + the Blues scale. Even b2-b6-7 can be used in chromatic lines. - Here’s 5 CAGED chords, all E Dominant 7 on just the top 4 strings of DGBE: E7, 2130; D7-shape 2434; C7-shape, 6757; A7-shape, 9797; G7-shape, 999-10; and E7-shape again at 14-13-15-12. - Use those shapes and associate them to Mixolydian + the Blues scale. Don’t use 3 if the chord is minor, and only go UP from b3 to 3 if the chord is Dominant 7.

That's cool!

Ive watched many a Dicky Betts tutorials that talk about getting his sound, and maybe i just didnt realize it at those times, but this is the first time a lesson zeroed in right away on what I consider to be Dickey's signature sound, which is that lick. As soon as i got it under my fingers, i said that's it! Feels so good! Thank you!

I played the Mixolydian scale for years before finding out what it was. Mark Zabel once described it basically as halfway between a major and blues scale. I liked that. Basically its being melodic but with an edge. My first time seeing your channel. While I know this stuff, you're a good teacher and there's still more for me to learn, so I'm subscribing. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Edited in: I posted my comment before I got to the end, only to find out you taught me a bunch about the Diminished scale. Very cool. Thanks

There's a guitarist I forget his name that uses lots of hexatonic scales and it sounds super fresh, it's almost ridiculous as it's just somewhere between the pentatonic and modal scales but I've never seen or heard anyone else focusing on them... 🤔👍

That’s right - this is one of my favorite guitars. Gene Baker gave me a deal on it when i was a touring musician. In fact- it got stolen from the tour bus and Police ended up finding it in pawn shop and it came back to me!

Any chance of a lesson on positive and negatives in all scales relationships ? Thought not Cannot fimd one either on any youtube post oh never mind most wont umferstand with how many sides a coin have ? Answer 3 Or the tree effect ? Or question and answer technique? Sad but true No wonder the progression of guitar relates to 60s andd 70s in a whole . Or past down by a family member Like the van halen family

Dickey Betts "was," a great guitar player? Last time i checked he was still playing, perhaps not as fluent as he once was, but he still sounds good in my book. Just saying... nonetheless good tutorial. What guitar rig are you using? What reverb/delay?

This helpful lesson would be greatly enhanced Without the delay effect. Students need to hear the clarity & articulation of the specific notes. Using so much Delay & Reverb are a crutch, & it only sounds sloppy & thin.
