The 4 Note Solo – Blues Guitar Lesson
Visit www.bluesguitarunleashed.com for the rest of the video, the TABS, and the backing track. My goal was to dispel the myth I hear a lot, which is that you need a ton of chops and great licks to sound good playing blues guitar. It can be simple, easy, and fun, while still sounding authentic. In this lesson, I just wanted to show you a simple blues solo without too many fancy licks. It’s not that hard to play with a little practice and this can go a long way.

Several notes were actually played via the bend. I think it should not be titled “four? notes” but maybe “four frets” or something. bending a “D” note makes an “E” note, etc…

@Eva413 If you don’t know then don’t comment. C major and A minor have the same notes in their scales. Play the scale from C and its C major (C D E F G A B C). Play the scale from? A and it’s A minor (A B C D E F G A). Try it mate and you will hear what I mean. The natural half steps are in a different position thats what makes the difference.

@mrmontreemtx It’s an Suhr?

@r0ckdup Yeah but everbody understands what? it means.

@r0ckdup You’re right that the title isn’t quite accurate, but neither is “four fret”. He only uses two frets,? eighth and tenth. That’s it. Two frets times two strings = four notes, plus a bend giving a total of five, which is exactly what he says at the beginning of the lesson.

I didn’t know you could play 4 notes? on a Suhr.

Excellent video.
If it doesn’t sound good it’s NOT good music.
When I was young I played the B-flat Clarinet from the 4th grade through High School. 98% of the time I was 1st Chair in class.
I discovered it wasn’t how fast I could play but? the secret to great music is in the [timbre]: the quality of a musical tone that distinguishes voices and instruments.
By using this theory I went on to receive a college scholarship & went on to complete my Masters in Music.
It ALL in the tone

Good lesson for beginners who want to start improvising. Forget scales — learn a few moveable patterns (and their roots) & you can hang at any blues jam.?
