Blues Guitar Tips by Missippy James

As an easy way to get started playing blues, try this.

Use the minor pentatonic scale (1 b3 4 5 b7 1) over a I IV V chord progression in a major key and also in the same minor key.

Listen for the similarities and more importantly, the differences.

Blues Power,
Missippy James
