- Page 2
by Christopher Sung (9297)

Let's just look at the first 2 measures of a G blues for now and get really in-depth. The first thing we need is a bass line. Our chord progression here is: <b>G7 - C7 - G7</b>. Usually, for a bass note on the first beat, ...(more)

Now, we need some notes to put on top of our bass line. Commonly, we can use just the third and b7 of our chord to imply the harmony. A common rhythm is to play the chord on the first beat, and on the upbeat of the second, ...(more)

OK, so now we've got a walking bass with some chords. It almost sounds like two guitarists playing at the same time, which is good, but it doesn't sound that hip. It'd be nice if we could imply some sort of percussive beat....(more)

<b>1</b> - 2 - 3 - <b>2</b> - 2 - 3 - <b>3</b> - 2 - 3 - <b>4</b> - 2 - 3<p>
So far, all our comping on the off be...(more)

So now let's re-visit our example from page 1. By now, the bass line for the first two measures should sound familiar, and so should the chordal ideas on top. All I've done is mixed and matched some of the different chordal...(more)

Blues Turnarounds (#25)
- Page 1
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
The turnaround in a standard 12-bar blues tune happens in mms. 11-12. For an E Blues, this means playing E7 in the 11th bar, and a B7 at some point in the 12th. These turnarounds are shown here as solo blues guitar pieces, ...(more)

Here's an oldie but a goodie. We strum the E7, and then use a slide to launch a chromatically descending line which brings us back to the E, and then the final B7

This is very similar to the previous one, but we includes notes on the second string in our descending line in measure 1. Note that the chord made up by each three note block in our descending line is a 7th chord. The first...(more)

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a firebrand, with a no-holds-barred approach to the blues. Like many of the blues masters that he learned from, he often played complex lines within the "box patterns" that are commonly used in blues. ...(more)

The first part of this example uses one of the same patterns heard in page 1, where the A on the 3rd string is bent up to the B, then the B on the 2nd string, and then the high E. At the end of measure 1, there's a bend of t...(more)
