Brilliant teaching. Never seen anyone put this together likes this. I walked away with a much better understanding of how these scales work together. Thank you!
Would be much nicer if there are sketches of the scales shown during the lesson. Some people have strong visual memory. Thank you very much for very good lesson. Cheers from Indonesia.
It's really a good moment to have a lessons with someone who's exchange with us. As a matter of fact, it's like being in the same room having a good time. Thank You.
I love the way you put that C9 into the shuffle instead of the 7th. I've always had a mental block about learning lead, but this video really helped me understand how to start.
Here’s how to look at it as just one scale, the chromatic scale. 1) Start with the 5 CAGED shapes for Minor Pentatonic; and start off in the key of E. 2) Now add in 3, and always go up from b3 to 3 or into a chord tone. Leave it out if it’s a Minor chord. 3) Now add in 2 and 6 from Mixolydian and b5 from the Blues scale for this: 1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6/b7. That’s 9 out of the 12 notes leaving just b2-b6-7, the least useable of the 12 notes but still useable on your way to a chord tone. 4) Each of the 5 positions contains the 1-4-5 chords. 5) Play over YT 12-bar Blues and work all 5 positions. Do it in all keys!
Hi Joe, this lesson is fantastic. Wish you could do more about phrasing and how to be musical with each scale because that's the most difficult part... Please more about this 🙏🎸👍
I'm convinced!!! Your tutorial demonstration presents a solid argument. I know nothing of scales but hell I gotta study these, the close up camera really helped. Man please do more blues in your livestreams, it's so cool. 😎❤👍
Love the guitar you chose for the lesson. My favourite acoustic of all time. Had a 36 L-00 and just bought a 1930 L-1. Different necks but perfect for blues and basically anything. You’re an excellent teacher Joe as well as a phenomenal player. Thanks for this.
My instrument is the piano/keyboard but this video is relevant to me because your lesson is so comprehensive and nicely put together … and it’s always good to hear other instruments play 😊
Great Lesson Joe. Brilliant. Also worth mentioning that it's great to anchor on the root note for each of the chords when playing each of the different scales over them :)
Great info and lesson Joe - thanks for sharing this. You're an excellent teacher and communicator of these ideas, in a very clear and comprehensive way. Thanks again.
Hi, Joe! @Joe Robinson Thank you for your brilliant Blues Scales lesson, which I'm excited to work into my daily practice. We love your music and educational videos. All the best to you, Cher from Invisible Technique
What a great lesson. Showing these scales and using them in a shuffle really connects the dots. Hearing them back to back you really hear the different flavour of each. Enjoying your TrueFire lessons as well!
Thanks Joe i really enjoy all your content and how you present it. I read what I have found a v useful description of “the blues” ………that there are three fixed pitches (1,4,5) and the rest are “flexible” pitches ie (2,b3,3) and (6,b7) and between 4 and 5. This thinking accommodates major and minor pentatonic + b5 plus all the microtones in between
Joe is a master of combining all routes up the neck in a rhythmical way, not to mention when he incorporates melodic counterpoint. (That’s nuts 😜). The important part is to develop a sense of the root and its adjacent intervals in different positions up the fretboard
Hey Joe, I really appreciate the lesson. The only scales I was familiar with were the first two. I've never played lead. It's always been like a mystery to me. I would really enjoy some lessons where you break it down more slowly for those of us who are new at it. As always, I love your videos and your instruction. Thanks!
Kicking back in Kendall with the fire on, cooking dinner and this on the telly. Life is good. Nice one mate, I’m still working on the first one after 30 years. Good to see you killing it. 👍👍😊
Great lesson! it was cool to see you really accurate to demonstrate eache scale. And the demo at the end is awesome! if you do another lesson about blues what would be great is to see how you approach each degree. Anyway thank's for this awesome lesson Mister Robinson!
Good lesson. I would greatly appreciate if, in the future, you could play your lead (the scales) over the chords using a looper pedal. This, I believe, would greatly highlight the "color" the scales provide.
People must know this to be a great blues player,,, you have to put your heart and soul into these notes,,you just can't play a scale and record a record ! Learn to get the most out of every note and bend , this is the secret ! 😎✌️✝️💕
Thanks, Joe, very informative.. Aside from this, what would help someone like me is a description of what is going through your head when you are creating a solo. People like me just know how to scale noodle, not create interesting solos.
Get a looper pedal. Learn to use it and then you got endless practice to figure it out. Listen to who you like. Try to make yours sound like there’s or better yet make it sound like you. Looper is the most important thing you can get and learn to use.
I have subscribed to your channel. If you had a looper you could play the rhythm and lead simultaneously. For guitar dummies it helps me hear what there supposed to sound like live. Great lesson thanx
@Joe_Robinson - I agree 100%!! This video is perfect Joe - don't waste time on going through scales note for note, it's the concept where it's at. This is such a great and helpful lesson!! I'd love to see more of these on Blues improv, going even a bit deeper into the concepts.
Brilliant teaching. Never seen anyone put this together likes this. I walked away with a much better understanding of how these scales work together. Thank you!
Really appreciate that Jason!!
Thanks so much joe
For ref

Thank you, really great teaching... as i say what I love in jazz is the blues and what i love in blues is the jazz

True
Great lesson Joe very interesting and informative many thanks 👍
Great stuff. How do I access your slower approach ?
I'm convinced!!! Your tutorial demonstration presents a solid argument. I know nothing of scales but hell I gotta study these, the close up camera really helped. Man please do more blues in your livestreams, it's so cool. 😎❤👍
Thanks. Very good teaching. I did.
We must have knowledge of scales.
Loved this video! Yes, please it will be great if you can demonstrate these scales in other positions. Terrific video man.
Love the guitar you chose for the lesson. My favourite acoustic of all time. Had a 36 L-00 and just bought a 1930 L-1. Different necks but perfect for blues and basically anything. You’re an excellent teacher Joe as well as a phenomenal player. Thanks for this.
This is a awesome lesson really opened up a door😁
These scales combo are awesome. So cool to listen to. Nice video.
Thank you, Joe! 👍🏼🎵 Brilliant teaching. And your joy and passion shines through.
Definitely walking away with a bit more knowledge from this tutorial!
My instrument is the piano/keyboard but this video is relevant to me because your lesson is so comprehensive and nicely put together … and it’s always good to hear other instruments play 😊
Молодец 🎉
Great Lesson Joe. Brilliant. Also worth mentioning that it's great to anchor on the root note for each of the chords when playing each of the different scales over them :)
What a wonderful comprehensive tutorial. Many thanks.
Great video, mate, i especially enjoyed the bebop scale which i need to explore more. Cheers!
Great overview lesson. Keep it up Joe! Cause I’m loving it.
Great lesson Joe!!! Those are going into my daily practice.
Thank you, Joe!! I'm an old worn out tenor sax player and guitar hack...this lesson applies to both instruments very well!
Thanks again!
This guy is very good, very simple to follow and understand, really laid back but KNOWS his stuff!
Very nice demonstration, going to put more focus into these scales for my practice.
Thanks Joe.
Never heard of BEBOP.
Thanks for your video.
You're never 'showing off'. You're just good!
Thank you brother beautifull tutorial...❤❤
Thank you, Joe. This is fantastic. This is also my homework tonight.
Quite clear! appreciate your great course.
Would you provide more about Playing the change or targe note handling course?
This is what I need joe, thanks!

Congratulations for such a great lesson. So well explained and condensed 😊. Thanks!
Very well done, made me go pickup my guitar . Very simple and straight forward. Thanks.
Super video again Joe ! Very nice 👍 Happy weekend ! Michael
He may be the best sounding guitarist of the ones I've heard teaching on here.
Thanks so much for all your work🎉
What a great way to explain. You nailed it
Wow out of all the lessons I’ve seen this is the best
Love this lesson! Thanks Joe!
Greate lesson, make me easy to differentiate between these wonderfull scales.
What a great lesson. Showing these scales and using them in a shuffle really connects the dots. Hearing them back to back you really hear the different flavour of each. Enjoying your TrueFire lessons as well!
Man you are such a cool player. Do you play in any bands? The scales were very clearly demonstrated. Hope to see you -playing one day! 🇦🇺🦘👏
Thanks a lot Joe...much to learn from watching this lesson...you are a very sweet and generous person.
Great lesson and very usefull thanks much👏👏👏
Great lesson really helping me with my blues playing.

This thinking accommodates major and minor pentatonic + b5 plus all the microtones in between
I practice all pentatonic scales and when he did that at the beginning I wanted to burn my guitar and cry in the corner.
I think that all the time. Like how the hell are we using the same notes ?? There’s no way 😂
Joe is a master of combining all routes up the neck in a rhythmical way, not to mention when he incorporates melodic counterpoint. (That’s nuts 😜). The important part is to develop a sense of the root and its adjacent intervals in different positions up the fretboard
@@seanmarshallmusic so true! I got out my corner last night and I swear my guitar was laughing at me like “oh yeh oh yeh” dam
Me two he made it sound like something with feeling and recognizable songs I’m the box for 0 yesrs
Try working on your rhythm rather than the notes played
Completely enjoyed this! Thanks for knowledge Joe! ✊🏽🎵
Joe great lesson you are best teacher on RUclips I’m musician playing piano and guitar always I learn something new I’m autodidact musician
Great and enjoyable lesson Joe. I do think scale diagrams would help. Me anyway. Thanks
Hey Joe, I followed you for many years. Always have enjoyed your masterful playing. I'm glad I found your content on RUclips. Excellent!
Thanks Joe for the great gift
Great lesson, Joe ! Thank you ! And your old Gibson is a real beauty and seems to play wonderfully well !
Very comprehensive Joe. Thanks mate!
GOOD LESSON ALSO GREAT EXPRESSIVE PLAYING
Always hits up beat for starting and put some triplet.

From Brazil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷, brave, master
Thank you for your sincerity ❤
Joe! I remember watching you back when you did Daddy Longlicks with the band! It's great to see you again
Great lesson. Thank you for these type of videos.
Great lesson! This seems manageable and attainable...
Thanks, Joe. That was very helpful.
Inspiring and pleasant! Warm thanks from a beginner.
Awesome stuff Joe!
Excellent lesson 😊
Very nicely done. Relaxed and right on the penny. Love from India.
A very nice and useful lesson 👌🏻

@@Joe_Robinson thanks will enjoy googling more about it this weekend!
Also maj minor jump scale, minor 7th v5 scale and the 6 over 7 scale.
Thanks man , one of the best lessons I’ve ever had . The first time I’ve had the feel of those scales explained and how they work together.
thanks Joe!
Very cool lesson Joe - cheers from 🇬🇧
Good lesson, Joe!
Thank you!
Inspiring. Thank you, Joe!
This will really help me improvise more with the Blues !!! :)
Great lesson! it was cool to see you really accurate to demonstrate eache scale. And the demo at the end is awesome! if you do another lesson about blues what would be great is to see how you approach each degree. Anyway thank's for this awesome lesson Mister Robinson!
Superb work as always Joe! Looking for time to pick mine up again :)
Explained in the easiest and simplest form. Thanks Joe.

Thank you. You’ve just outlined my lesson plan for the next 6 months 😂
Thank you.
Fantastic Joe!
Fan here
Im a new fan of your channel, thnx for the overview and great playing. (Just put up my guitar for sale after seeing this 😉 there's to much to learn)
Great lesson Joe.
I have subscribed to your channel. If you had a looper you could play the rhythm and lead simultaneously. For guitar dummies it helps me hear what there supposed to sound like live. Great lesson thanx
Thank you for not doing a note by note lesson. No one needs to do note by note lessons for scales anymore, but more concept videos.
That’s good feedback for me, thanks Kenneth!
@Joe_Robinson - I agree 100%!! This video is perfect Joe - don't waste time on going through scales note for note, it's the concept where it's at. This is such a great and helpful lesson!! I'd love to see more of these on Blues improv, going even a bit deeper into the concepts.
Hi ..very cool thanks baddie. You're a. Master. Cheers
Great job!
Great lesson Joe😅
Thanks a lot JoeRob❤🙏
