How To Play A Good Blues Solo - Melodic & Rhythmic
Рет қаралды 38,685
Күн бұрынThis is one of most asked questions. How to play blues phrase? Not all about scale shapes but more about playing good rhythmic melodies over blues chord progression. I made a few good examples around those popular blues melodies. I also made a bad example! Hope you enjoy this!

Bad concept with scale shapes 02:54
Milt Jackson's Bag's Groove Melody 03:23
Walking Bassline & Singing Melody 05:35
Count Basie's C Jam Blues Melody 07:38
My Blues Melody 08:18
Shuffle Bassline & Singing Melody 10:15
Important bad example 12:35
Good Example 13:28

Tomo’s book and videos are the best resource that really train my ears, I have a lot of courses but they ignore the basics. I love how practicing shell chords and rhythm guitar, triads really allow me hear the chord change and play the melody. And I play much cleaner than I used to. Just trust Tomo, do the basic things everyday, 1-2 years your musicality will greatly improve.

大変楽しい講義ありがとうございます。ES-335いいですね。1979年群馬県からバークリー音楽院に行ったEさんにアメリカでレスポール買ってくれるか聴いたら、送ってくれたのがES-335でした。STRATが450ドル、レスポールが600ドルくらいだよ。と教えてくれて、レスポールが欲しかったのですが、送られてきたのは古いケースに入ったES-335でした。後年1963年のES-335だと分かりました。ボストンから送られてきました。

ご丁寧にありがとうございます。その当時から８０年代半ばまでは、ヴィンテージギターもそんなに高くないお値段でした。７９年にアメリカ、ボストン、バークリー、今より知らないことも多くてスリリングだったと思います。このギターは、日本に先月持っていきました。ある有名なギタリストさんにお買い上げ頂きました。

Hey Tomo, I often also comment on your Facebook and appreciate your responses. I recently started doing jazz jam sessions in Osaka. I played fly me to the moon, Alice in wonderland and all of me in a gypsy jazz style. My question is, what are some blues that I must know for jamm sessions, not only in Japan but, immediately as a musician I should know aside from Bblues and Fblues. Any songs with a strong melody in mind?
@TomoFujitaMusic 16 күн бұрын
Thank you so much! First learn songs with R 3 7 chords then go through with triads so you can hear those chord changes. For jam, must know "Back at the Chicken Shack in F" " Blue Monk in F " " Straight No Chaser in F " "Billies Bounce in F " " Tenor Madness in Bb "

that looks like my 1963 Gibson ES 330 TDC because of the tailpiece. I did not know that 335s came with a tail piece back then.. i’ve had both a 335 and my 330. I prefer the 330 because it seems to be a little bit shorter in length, and the guitar comes alive more because it is hollow…

I like how you use melody whit your phrases, but I think a lot of people enjoy a guitar sound with more vibrato on notes and also exaggerated bends . And also the bending of chords, not full chords half chords , two note chords. It’s closer sounding to the voice to hear notes stretch to the next. Just hitting most of your notes with no vibrato or bends, kinda sounds like playing a keyboard , that doesn’t sound as good as an actual keyboard.

You can add more spices later. This example is more toward "practicing" than "Performance" Once people learn foundation of phrasing then adding more vibrato expression is good! Thank you!

Hi Tomo, could you do something about the way you record your voice, make it more crisp or something? With all respect to english not being your mother tongue/language, you have a tendency to mumble (a little), it makes your talking kind of hard to follow. Groeten from Almen Netherlands!

Let's face it Tomo . . . The REAL tone comes from the Amp, not the guitar . . . What Amp are you using? That will tell the story. You must admit there is little, if any difference between an old Gibson 335 and an Epiphone Sheridan . . . . eh?

@@TomoFujitaMusic . . . Thanks. So you are using a boutique amp . . . What does the old Gibson 335 add to the sound that an Epiphone Sheridan. I have 45 guitars and will admit that I don't have the best ear, but I fail to see that a "vintage guitar" adds anything to the equation.

Blues phrase with a minor pentatonic / blues scale and a little more chord tone M3, b7...then I can add 9th & 6th etc. I never think about "Mixolydian" scale shape etc. I think more blues language that came from old records. You can analyze any notes that you are interested in.

@@williampimblott8373 I disagree, you could have put it simpler in that short lesson. By the way , I do think that you're talented . Playing the guitar well and teaching is a whole lot of difference . NO reflection on you, but in my experience most people that play in a professional level , can not teach , because they don't have the talent to teach.

My first Gibson ES-335... I stared working delivering newspaper (back in KYOTO JAPAN) at my age 13 to 16. Each month I made about 30000 to 35000 yen (= A little over $200) so I paid my musical instrument from that job for 4 years. I have worked for 4 years (newspaper route job).
