Follow The Series: www.justinguitar.com/modules/...
In this lesson we start exploring using arpeggios in a blues rather than using scales - this is a very grown up approach to Blues, a little more complicated but only becuase the shapes are new - but in this lesson I introduce a way through it to make it feel musical again. Next lesson we'll learn some licks using this Dom 7 Arpeggio / Minor Pentatonic mix approach to get making music easily - which should be the aim!

so my room mate just started to learn guitar. i really do not enjoy teaching stuff, so i was looking for a good teacher on youtube. i was shocked. most of the "lessons" are are either not "real" lessons or hefty university stuff. you are one of the few that remind me of my real life teacher back in the days. keep up the quality . people deserve. you're a very good professional teacher

For quite a while now I am not making any progress on my solo playing. I also watched many videos about how to become better and how to improve etc. etc. Watching this video now, is really giving me that „aha“ moment i needed. Justin you just woke the guitar enthusiast in me again. This dude is hands down, the best guitar teacher on the internet. Its just the way he teaches. As If he knows what helps perfectly to overcome your issues as a guitar student. Greetings from Germany!

The best part of his teaching style is he talks in exactly the way a person thinks when their first learning something. Which makes it so real to the person listening. He thinks back to when he first learned it and the questions that came into his mind at the time and talks this way now so it becomes very relatable to the person trying to learn it. Hes not afraid to say how much he struggled and stumbled when he learned which is encouraging to the person watching the video. Humble teachers that speak at your level are the best kind of teacher. You deserve every subscriber you have.

I learned the CAGED shapes for Dominant 7th chords along the whole neck and i never realised I was using this arpeggio and the A and G string shaped arpeggios all along! I just added notes around the CAGED shapes using my ear, practicing and experimenting, but watching this lesson I kind of understand where they come from now. Great lesson Justin thanks!

So glad I saved this video in my "Justin" KZfaq folder and revisited it during the COVID-19 lockdown here in New Jersey. I already understand the theory behind arpeggios from a top-down perspective, but what I needed was a bottoms-up way of working it into my blues playing. This is it. Thanks Justin!

I've been working on learning pentatonics and arpeggios over chords and changes. Just like Justin says, seems disjointed at first, but now starting to come together. The metaphor I think of is it's like learning your multiplication tables. Painful (remember flashcards?), but indispensable for moving on.

There are so many shapes to learn from different voicings of the dominant chords, and their inversions. I hope Justin does a lesson on this - ie involving different shapes and effective ways of practicing them.

This is really great stuff. I'm finally beginning to understand the whole idea of using arpeggios. Like many casual guitarists, I've spent years just sticking with the pentatonic scale over chord changes. And I'd always read comments on forums or whatever where some guy would ask, "Okay, I've learned my chords, I've learned the pentatonic scale in all 5 positions--what do I learn next?" And some guy would say, "Learn your triads/arpeggios" and I'd always go, "Well, what the f*** does that mean?!"

As someone who uses this a lot already it’s fascinating to see someone actually explain it so clearly. When friends ask “what did you do there?” I’m like “dunno” just used an arpeggio, more interesting than widdling on neighbouring notes. In future I’ll just point them to this channel. Same with your major pentatonic blues lesson. It’s something I’ve always done but learned by ear from listening to records, but when the same friends ask “when do you use it” my answer has always been “when it sounds good”. Not super helpful for them. Great channel Justin. Really good stuff. A lot of people like me can already play stuff but don’t really understand the mechanics of why it works. So these lessons are helpful for more seasoned “ear” players too.

Came across this by accident while trying to learn blues piano, just messing around with the chords rather than just blindly sticking to the blues scale. The major 6 is a great note as well, especially when leading to the root and is not in the blues scale, neither is the slightly flat major 3rd. They are both in the major pentatonic however, which works especially well over the I chord. Getting my head round the mixolydian and Dorian modes helped too, also understanding that the blues is more about changing KEY rather than changing chords. It changes key from the I mixolydian/Dorian to the IV and V mixolydian/Dorian and back again. When this concept finally clicks, blues finally makes sense, you can see how it breaks from standard diatonic harmony but still makes sense in terms of music theory. It also gives you flexibility in terms of choosing a major (Mixolydian) or minor (Dorian) sound or even switching between the two - which is why the third is so important.

Been watching this from day 1 because, though I've noodled for quite some time, I never really understood how to get past the 'minor rut' and break into major. The last lesson in this series really helped and I have the arp fingerings for a 1, 4, 5 down now but trying to get from them back into minor and then major as a whole amalgamation has been a big challenge...especially after years of 'muscle memory' in minor... Thanks man, this is really helping... for some reason I thought it better to avoid the D all together when applying the A arp and I think that's where I've been stuck. The whole 'framing the 3rd' thing you mentioned I can see, will help to keep the playing 'fluid' rather than so staccato because of the stumbling...
