Incredible acoustic blues CHORD and SOLO

Музыка

Are you getting tired of playing the 12-bar blues the same way all the time? Want to be able to put licks, riffs, walks, and chords all together to create a much more interesting sounding blues that you can play on your own, without a band?
This guitar lesson video will get you there. By choosing in advance specific measures to solo or play other tricks, you can train yourself to play self-accompaniment style blues. This lesson shows you how to train your ear to get used to hearing the changes so you won't miss a chord change.
This lesson is great for anyone who enjoys playing acoustic blues guitar, or wants to learn general chord-melody and accompaniment style guitar playing.

    Definitely using a jam track will help. Try a simple jam track that's just I to IV back and forth to start. Or a 12 bar form. Some jam tracks on YT show you when the chord changes.

There is one thing... or should i say a load of things I am struggling with but one thing I have noted is that I can not get correct is the timing or duration of my solos. I know I want them to last for two bars but cant really get the timing in. Dont know if that is clear..... Any suggestions or tips !!!

    Thank you! Practice with a jam track with a simple 2 chord progression. Try hearing the chord changes as you solo. Then try aiming your phrases for the roots of the chords as they change. That way your ear gets used to hearing the changes and you can always know where you are in the song form.
