In this insightful interview, blues guitar maestro Joe Bonamassa helps us unlock the fingerboard and get out of those pentatonic ruts we as guitarists can get stuck in. Watch as he and Gibson Gear Guide host, Dinesh Lekhraj show us how to move between scales, taking inspiration from our favorite blues guitar players like Albert King. This foundational knowledge of blues licks and scales, Joe argues, is the key to unlocking a world of musical possibilities, allowing for expressive and innovative playing that can set us free from the patterns we as guitar players tend to gravitate towards, time and time again.
Another key piece of advice Joe offers is that guitarists experiment with playing familiar phrases in various neck positions, thereby discovering new creative avenues that we may not have thought of when building a guitar solo. He introduces the idea of modal playing, particularly the Mixolydian mode, to add a fresh twist to the blues scale.
This blues guitar lesson from Joe Bonamassa will improve your soloing in less than 4 minutes. Enjoy this excellent guitar solo, pentatonic and playing tips from the Grammy award-winning guitarist!

I got to meet Joe around 2015. Everyone had his signature guitars for him to sign. I was the last person to get to talk to him and I had a white strat. I’ll never forget when he laughed and said ,”Ah! The lone white strat.” He was such a cool dude. I asked him if he could give only one piece of advice on guitar what would it be. He stood there quietly for probably 10 seconds and said “Make every note as clear as you can. It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you play if no one can understand it”. Best advice I ever got for music.

The idea is to bake it into your rehearsal. Make it a habit of trying to play (and sing) everything you learn in 12 keys around the neck. At first it’s daunting but it becomes second-nature. After doing it for a few years, I now suck in all of them equally. In a few more, who knows?

Yeah, but honestly - that's the ugly truth. Unless you know the fretboard inside out, know (_feel_) the chord changes and anticipate what to play, how to connect etc ... you will always be stuck in boxes or patterns. So the most simple but powerful tip is actually the hardest one, and can take a lifetime to learn (you might never get there... speaking with experience here).

@linnstr8609 Ай бұрын

Joe is absolutely right. When it comes to improvising, everything has to be in the moment and you shouldn't be "thinking",but rather "feeling". All these terms like mixolydian, chromatic, etc... are just theory. You have to internalize what these sound like, and when comes time to improvise you will instinctively know to invoke those sounds.

bullshit! it's false there is a moment when you stumble on the technique on the music and you need the skills to help you.The knowledge will open up another world for you another world on music.And after you come back in a form of letting go.Bonamassa knows the theory like me because your guitar progression is made thanks to the knowledge of the theory

@linnstr8609 29 күн бұрын

@@ericgisclon8122 I didn't say theory wasn't important. My message was that you always have to internalize what the theory means in terms of sound, emotion, mood, etc.. For example, here are my associations for some of the modes: 1) Ionian: traditional happy 2) Mixolydian: folk/medieval happy 3) Lydian: Nostalgic happy ... I can even break it down further on which intervals make the modes feel that way to me: Mixolydian ==> major 3rd (happy), dominant 7th (folk/medieval flavor) Lydian ==> major 3rd (happy), augmented 4th (nostalgic/longing flavor) With practice and time, you will be improvising confidently and won't be thinking: "Ok I need to use the Phrygian mode now." It will instinctively come out in a stream-of-consciousness manner depending on where your feeling goes.

How to play outside the pentatonic? For me, the key was to start thinking about each chord in a song as its own separate musical entity. Each chord gives you a different set of scales/patterns that will work, and each chord progression gives you a different way to follow the changes and link them together. This is how you get away from wanking in a single scale over a set of changes.

How can I make some different things happen " just in that first box? Like what's a good way just kind of get outside it?" Joe: Learn the other boxes...look what I can do...that'll be $800. The real answer is you play ideas with a tonality that functions like a V chord. Then resolve to the position 1 box pattern. The V chord takes you out and the blues box in position one brings you back in. Try D melodic minor to "go out" in G minor. Or Eb melodic minor to go out in G minor.

A great way to break out of the pentatonic scale is to play more like a horn player. Learn some Charlie Parker solos for example..
