  • Welcome to the wonderful world of blues! In this lesson, we'll work on a collection of licks over a 24 bar blues in A Major.

    As you work through these licks, make sure that you read their explanation so that you can use them on your own improvisations.

    Different tools are at our disposition here. We'll try to stick to pentatonic scales, varying from Major to minor pentatonic scales. If you are not familiar with those scales, make sure to memorize the suggested fingerings below.

    Have fun!
