Playing the changes on a blues: my soloing secrets revealed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- For me, one of the most important parts of blues soloing is the ability to outline the chord changes, particularly during the last four bars of the 12 bar cycle. In this video I show you how I approach doing this. There's a bit of theory, a discussion of phrasing and note choice, and plenty of tasty licks.

Very clear explanations helping to understand the principles of soloing over chord changes. You are one of my favourite teachers and I appreciate the time and effort you spend helping us improve. Thank you so much.
This awesome lesson reveals much more than just the 4 bar turn around with tasty licks, theory and tricks, etc., as many of the viewing players will notice is the use of the "C" shape rather than the standard "A" shape commonly used in basic jam sessions .. very interesting too .. Adrian always places gems for self discovery .. the focus on variations using roots, 3rds, maj/min, pentatonic with mixolydian adding chromatics off the "C" shape is so much more tasty, he makes us really work to wrap our head around their phrasings .. thank you for this very valuable solid gold lesson!
well said...
Thanks Adrian! I used so many of your videos to help me learn guitar, it's the least I can do.
Absolutely a superb lesson. I now have what I need to actually play the blues. Presented in a way that I understood the theory you conveyed. Thank you.
This is an AMAZING lesson! Thank you so much Adrian.
Thank you, Adrian. I will use these phrases in the 4th and 5th chord - very nice. From Australia.........
You teach it all. Rockabilly and blues
You’re 100% correct about teaching the last 4 bars! For me, anyway. This is right up my alley and the more inspiration and instruction I can get on where to go on the changes, the more I appreciate it. Great lesson!
Fantastic and clear explanation of playing the changes. Pure gold!
Very cool lesson, excellent teacher! Lots of ideas are just flying thru my head right now…thanks so much for this👍
Adrián your an amazing player! Love that les Paul sound too. My favorite blues lesson yet👍
Youre the best man. Love your teaching style. Glad to see people are catching on and the subscribers keep growing!
This was exactly the lesson I needed! Thank you for creating a lesson that focused on the last 4 bars and hitting those changes. You had a clear way of demonstrating concepts and scale shapes that we can use to make our own phrases. Best.
Followed this guy for a long time, he’s a genius 👍🏻👍🏻
Many thanks, Adrian. Yet another winner.
Right in-line with what I’m working on with my teacher, thanks! 👍☮️
It’s awesome that after all this time I can still find new channels with such great content, thanks, subbed!👍
Excellent lesson, thanks. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.
This is a great lesson. I appreciate the approach in teaching and for not assuming we are beginners. It really helps with the lessons flow. Thank you.
Adrian, great phrasing, feel and tone! Great lesson! Long live the Blues.
Thank you Adrian for another outstanding lesson. As always I enjoyed watching you play and then try out your ideas for myself.
Great lesson and very timely for me personally: I went back this week and and relearned the solo that you taught several years ago in your, “Mixing Major and Minor Pentatonics” blues lesson. Lo and behold you present this gem which is the perfect addendum to that lesson.
Great stuff Adrian, tasty blues lesson, easy to follow and another smashin video to get us into the weekend
A very cool lesson Andrew with some very nice playing and a lovely tone.
Excellent as always Adrian. Cheers.
Thanks so much adrian. All really useful stuff.
Can’t have too much blues. Play on!
Excellent lesson. Love your channel
One of your finest lessons, Adrian!! One can truly tell that you care about making us sound pro and polished and these are all well-done nice licks yet still intermediately challenging! Jim C.
awesome I did the same very thing. Like the puzzle is coming together..
Great lesson Adrian! Thanks!!!!
Thank you. I learnt so much from this video.
Love the blues. Thank you for this lesson.
Excellent lesson, thank you.
A wonderful lesson and I dig the theory!
This is GOLD Adrian! In my current life I play much less than I used to, but when I will be back this will be one of the first lessons to tackle.
Thank You for the PDF on PATREON 🙌🏼
Wonderful as always!
Another great lesson. Thanks Adrian.
222k! Well done Adrian!
Absolutely FANTASTIC lesson man! Please please make more of these, not just blues, but perhaps other idea examples. For instance, take some song or chord progression and demonstrate 6-7 ways to solo over it, then break them down and highlight the links of the notes/tones to the chords you're over. It'll be so useful and helpful if you can do this kinda lesson to other chord progressions.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Great lesson and that les paul is SWEET.
Thanks for another great at lesson, much appreciated !
Always enjoy listening, watching and learning from your RUclips video posts! Appreciate you sharing your artful guitar/music skills and time with us! PEACE!!!
amazing tutorial thanks!
Nice. Great lesson as usual. Thanks man 😎👍👌💯🎸🎸
excellent one Adrian, thanks.
Thanks so much Adrian...excellent video. Where I want my playing to be some day :)
Brilliant Tuition Mate . Your a brilliant teacher . Andrew from Australia 🇦🇺
Superb. Your tone settings and temporal procession worked as a flexy carcade.
Superb. Thank you!
Tremendous Thanks
I can only echo what others wrote already. Thank you Adrian. Excellent tutorial.
Excellent! Thankyou...subbed.
Good stuff dude
Coming to Texas to play, great music
Skip the lesson on this one and just keep playing. You got it rolling, keep it going.
The blues is a style that's relatively easy to learn but notoriously hard to really master, and those four bars are what separates the children from the men (and women of course). I really believe you can never have too many turnarounds under your belt, so these elegant phrases you taught us are very much appreciated! Thanks a million! After a hard week at work, nothing like a good blues on a Friday, before that stormy Monday comes around...
23:15 - yes it does sound pretty good!
Great sound
great building blocks to go off on different musical journeys
Thank you
222k that is some achievement,and you deserve it and more.Diverse ,precise and knowledgeable ,keep up the great work,good luck to ya
Great Video! Thanks for the content. Needed help with his
Love them blues
Another excellent and as usual very useful video Adrian and agreed you should play your Les Paul more often sounds great
thanks
Perfect timing
that was a better blues lesson than most hardcore blues guys provide on the intertubes. I mean, what other tutor teaches both how to sound more authentically bluesy (as you do here) and how to avoid sounding bluesy (as you do in an earlier pentatonic lesson)?
Love that Les Paul
Man that Les Paul is beautiful
Diggin' your potatoes Adrian, great playing and thank you for all your lesssons!
Anyone is the best ' 👍👍☝👍👍☝
Killer!
Fantastic as always! Is there a genre you can't nail?
Another timely gift from Adrian. Why only 223K?
Great playing! But that guitar tone is awesome!!!
I love it when Adrian does the blues! Mind you, it's no cat video set to Kraftwerk, still .....
Tasty as a five course meal in my favourite curry emporium Adrian!
Tasty!
🤘 Rock on! BBish kinda. Robben Fordish. Great! 🤘
Great phrasing. I too have the Archer. Are you just using it as a boost here? High output with no gain?
🙌❤️🔥
great playing is that your backing track at the beginning.
With out the backing track to me it sounds like Allman Brothers, I Love Allman Brothers !!!
My dream Les Paul 🥰
great lesson, but i do have one suggestion... relating the phrases to the patterns of the CAGED system.
Nice lesson. What model is your Les Paul? Has it been refretted? Don't see the nibs.
Very tasty indeed mate. Thanks. Sending quid. Fran. Chance of pdf
Not my cup of tea but I appreciate you doing it and I will definitely use them.
Like deployed 👍
😎🎙🎸✅
heyyy where did you cats go :( Thank you for this lesson :)
When your good it looks easy
Thanks Adrian very well done. I have a buddy plays a 74 tele deluxe with those WICKED humbuckers sounds awesome. Every time he plays my 78 LP wine standard his accuracy improves, but the guitar just wont make those sweet overtones like his tele or his Strat. I think the LP is a more friendly guitar to play and easier on the hand, but the strat and tele give better tone. Just an opinion nothing more. Would love to have a LP neck on a strat.
Adrian which do you prefer...jazzmaster or jaguar?
Hey Adrian hope you're well. Just wondering why no tabs?
Great lesson, this is the first lick lesson I've seen that doesn't just revolve around the one chord. That guitar tone you have got is awesome, I can see a fender amp in the background, what model of amp is it. Never sell that guitar you will regret it forever 🤣
The segment starting at 22:21, 'Gear Used In This Video', wasn't enough for You?
@@jankafka7330 I've not got that far, I will check it out 👍
Hmmmmm😋very😋tastefull‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😋🎶❤🎵(AND NOT ONLY THE LAST 4 BARS!!!!!!!!) ThnX😊
HELLO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEND THIS BACK TRACK? I AM FROM BRAZIL AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SOUND
Feeling and passion always trumps technique, you don’t have to be technically perfect when you preform in front of the audience, you do have to be real!
Amazing lesson as usual Adrian. I have a question. Maybe it's a dumb one. If you're in a blues jam with strangers, how do you know what to play on the turnaround when you don't know exactly what everyone else is going to play? Sometimes they change chord, sometimes they just hold on the Root chord? Can anyone explain to a dunce?
Actually, if your in a jam that are somewhat familiar with the 12 bar blues and are playing the rhythm parts on the drums, bass and guitars. You are playing the lead part, let's say your playing this lesson. They, the band, will fall in line with you or should I say vice versa with the 12 bar blues chord progression and your part will be just fine. You can adlib all you want within the scales of each chord. Because everything musically stays within the confines of every bar. I hope that makes sense. Maybe someone else can explain that better.
