  • -Guitar Lesson:
    For This Lesson I have recorded 3 “Texas Blues Style” Backing Tracks. They are special backings, have simple but complex structures with intro, verse, chorus and end. Although the blues is based on a structure of 12 measures, here I show you how variations can be made both in the number of bars and in the way they organize within the song. I hope you find it enjoyable and informative, and please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
    I make you suggestions of Major and minor Pentatonic scales, as well as Mixolydian scale.
    Keys: A, C and E.
