Announcement: BluesGuitar.com Releases “Bending Guitar Licks - Blues Guitar Lesson”
(PRWEB) May 29, 2014 -- “Using the major third makes the blues a little sweeter," says Darville. Jacques starts off by demonstrating what he calls the “form five blues scale” in the key of E as follows; 7th fret of the 5th string with first finger to the 10th fret with 4th finger, 7th fret of the 5th string with first finger to the 8th fret with 2nd finger to the 9th fret with the 3rd finger, 7th fret of the 3rd string with first finger to the 9th fret with 3rd finger, 8th fret of the 2nd string with first finger to the 10th fret with 3rd finger to the 11th fret with 4th finger, 7th fret of the first string with first finger to the 10th fret with 3rd finger to the 12th fret with 4th finger. “There is a lot of stuff to be milked in that area," says Darville. Jacques continues this easy beginner blues guitar lesson by demonstrating some bends within the scale pattern to achieve the major third. Incorporating this into your playing will give you a more major sound to your blues playing, similar to the southern rock sound of bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Allman Brothers, and the major third is a great note to resolve to because of its sweet sound. Jacques continues by performing several different licks using this idea. Guitar TAB’s are available for this easy beginner blues guitar lesson at BluesGuitar.com.
