🎸 Blues Lick of The Day #11
Here I’m playing a lick that flows through the transition from the I chord to the IV chord in the key of A.
Notice how the double-stop bend played on the top two strings has me targeting the major 3rd of the IV chord - D7, as soon as it appears in the progression?
Targeting major 3rd’s of the three chords in a 12-bar blues is something I highly recommend you start practicing in your blues improvisation. It will free you from the limitations of a purely scale-based approach to blues guitar soloing that many aspiring blues players find themselves trapped in.
***This is ‘I - IV Chord Line #5’ from Level 1 of my lick package - Funky Blues Lines - Available now 👉bulletproofguitarplayer.com/beyond-funky-option-page
