Announcement: BluesGuitar.com Releases “G Dominant 7th Guitar Lick Over a 12 Bar Blues Progression - Blues Guitar Lesson”
(PRWEB) April 19, 2014 -- “You can use this in a 12 bar blues or a 2 - 5 - 1 chord progression or anywhere you have a dominant 7th chord, but it does have a bluesy flavor to it,” says MacLennan. “This is a great way to get into chordal soloing.” Jon demonstrates how to play this lick as follows: first is a Gb7 (G flat 7) with his third finger on the fourth fret of the fifth string; first finger on the second fret of the fourth string; and second finger on the third fret of the third string. Jon strums this chord voicing and does a slide up one half step to G and he follows that with third fret of the fourth string first finger; fourth fret of the third string with second finger; and third fret, second string with first finger. Next is an Ab13 (A flat 13) which after a strum, he slides down one half step to A13. “So now, I have approached the chord from below and above,” says MacLennan. Jon continues this lesson performing the chordal soloing lick over a 12 bar blues backing track following the changes of the 1-4-5 chord progression. Guitar tabs are available for this blues guitar lesson at BluesGuitar.com.
