Week 5 & 6 – Slow Blues Segment
Blues is the foundation of rock! Here we explore the “Slow 12-Bar with a Quick Change.” An example of a song built with this blues progression is Jimi Hendrix’s “Red House.”
These lessons revolve around this classic blues, but with a rock edge. You’ll learn Major and Minor Pentatonic scale switching, 6ths, double stops, modern-horizontal blues licks and Group of 9 arpeggios with sweep picking. Don’t forget about the Essential Classic licks and the Expression video.
