Blues lick 9 Key: A minor pentatonic w/ added chromatic tones Technique: - Beat Suvbdivision: sixteenth notes Comments: This lick is an example of how you can use the pentatonic scale to create more country/jazzy sounds. The concept is quite simple, take your standard "blues box" (also known as pentatonic scale)and add notes that aren't included in the scale. The result will hopefully be harmonically more interesting than your standard blues licks. If you feel that your are stuck playing the same blues licks over and over again, then you should definately check this method out. e|------------------5-------------------------------5---------------------------------------| b|----------8p5h6h7---8p5---5-------------------5-8-----------------------------------------| g|----5-6p5---------------8---8-7-5-4-------5h6---------------------------------------------| d|-/7-------------------------------------7-------------------------------------------------| a|------------------------------------7-8---------------------------------------------------| e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Copyright © 2005 Freelicks.net
