GUITAR LESSON | How to Solo Over a Blues Progression

SUPPORT ME ON PATREON - www.patreon.co...
In todays lesson we're going to be taking a look at how to craft a solo over a simple I, IV, V blues progression. They key here is to keep things simple to allow your ear to get used to picking out chord tones/target notes over each chord to give your solos some harmonic context. Try sticking to the first position minor pentatonic, as all of the notes we need are contained in that area. I often hear players tell me they run out of ideas quickly when improvising. By sticking to the first position, this will allow you to practice being more creative with fewer notes, giving you more space and freedom to improvise over an extended solo section.

Finally...I got this business of "scales over chords "
There's never been a better time than ever to be a really great guitarist. All we need to do is just putting the time and effort. Thanks for the lesson Sean!!

Hey Sean, I just had to comment. After watching your video at least 20 plus x (and still watching), this is the most straight forward, insightfull blues lesson I've ever studied! There's a lot of cool riffs and lessons to learn on KZread which is fine but yours actually gives one the keys to understanding what makes a lick work well and opens the door to actually creating a musical dialogue, so I can't thank you enough plus I admire you for putting together such a simple yet well articulated video that I'm sure is helping a lot of guitarists out there. Big thumbs up!!! Thanks again.

I've probably seen a thousand guitar lessons but this is the best I've seen. It shows a light pedagogical point of view and milodically good sound so can not get better. Simple and now you got a lot of tools that you can build with. Many thanks ❤️

Fantastic! Would be great to see these concepts over a 12 bar blues.
I’ve been playing guitar for 4 years and now I finally understand, hoping for more blues lessons to come like this. Much love from Philippines mate🙌🏻🇵🇭💯❤️
This is gold! If you know your dominant arpeggios and the thirds of each, in each of the five positions, what Sean has taught here is so incredibly helpful.
I’ve been looking for this lesson for over 50 years. Literally.
You're a really incredible teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a concise and digestible lesson. Perfect.

That was really helpful. I could spend most of the time just playing along but still paying attention to the information. Kind of a perfect balance between the theory of it and the demonstration that is so often sharply separated in videos that makes you sort of listen then later play and that slows my intake.
WOW! One of the most well demonstrated and fun KZread lessons! A perfect mix of theory and playing that makes you excited as you learn! Thanks!

Sean needed just 20 minutes to explain what is maybe 70, maybe 80 percent of classic blues knowledge. Just stick to what he says, guys, keep practicing it, and you'll find yourself pretty good in blues soloing sooner than you think. The other 20 or 30 percent is about rhythms, grooves, styles, that kind of things, and also about small details you might adopt or not into your playing.
Man! This is one of the best courses I have learned on KZread. Keep up the great work!
Guys I just bought a couple of Sean's lesson bundles and he literally goes through everything step by step. As he said "No stone is left unturned" I'm very happy with my purchase and excited to up my game. Treat yourself

Superb!! Your excellent lesson takes the "mystery" out of creating a musical solo using pentatonics. Highlighting the major third in each chord makes such a difference in the overall sound. Keep up the great work...you are a fine teacher and phenomenal player.

Bro, I just found you and your courses. Great musician and teacher. One of my favorite guitar channels.
Actually, this is amazing. I studied classical guitar and then switched to 'modern' guitar, meaning electrical. But I stopped because the teachers bored me to death. The first five or ten minutes I could follow but then they ALWAYS started on endless tangents and ramblings on music theory. My mind shut off and my eyes glazed over. When I tentatively asked if we could stick to I IV V they tried, but then got off again on all possible jazz permutations and chords. Complete gibberish to me whilst my guitar sat idly on my lap. I wish I had this young man here as my teacher.
Thank you, Sean!
Super helpful lesson. Thanks!
Awesome playing Sean, great channel.
Absolutely brilliant! I've been looking for something to help me move beyond noodling the 5 pentatonic positions over a backing track. I can see me deep diving this video now and over the Christmas break. Thank you, Sean.

Love it I am a long way to go yet I am to slow I have to think to much slow muscle memory. I absolutely love LENNY!!!!!
I''ve been playing useless blues for decades and never realised the simple idea of landing on roots of the chord to resolve a run. Thanks Sean hinnie!

I just realized that I have been doing this the last couple of months. Trying to emphasize notes that match the chord progression while staying in pentatonic shape 1 and going into the high strings on position 2. Adding blues notes here or there. But I am not nearly as good at creating licks as you are, your creativity for bringing out licks is amazing, I reckon it takes lots of time. Thanks for the video.
Ok now my brain is totally onboard on were you're going with this. The hard part is to trick my fingers into actually doing it 😂. Great Lesson 👍🙏🏻
Playing A min pentatonic Blues on the first chord (I7) can be seen as Dorian ( E natural minor) Playing A minor Pentatonic Blues over D7 is a Dominant sound D dominant 7 arpeggio 10th fret blended with D major pentatonic blues ( treated as a V7) On the E7 ( V chord) Treat this like a IV, straight major pentatonic blues country sound . After years of playing i find this to be the simplest way to look at blues Pentatonic" interchange" Is actually a step above just knowing 7 note major and minor scales
Bad-Ass stuff, talent ! thanks Sean, my guy and I are digging it
Brilliant lesson Sean absolutely loved it keep the lessons going 👍 👏
I hope you get to 1 million subs!
Great lesson ! Thank you so much Sean :) Highlights very well the essential points in a very pleasant and straight forward way. For next videos, I'd really enjoy more licks in 4th and 5th degree like you did in this vid, in different positions of the pentatonic. It will help to build more vocabulary. Thanks a lot ! BTW, already bought your SRV course too. Really nice :)
