Do you crave it? Blues guitar scale mastery - now.
Burning desire for mastery of the blues guitar scale is where it starts. Believe it. The desire you have to master the blues is more important than any perceived talent because that desire is where the talent starts.If you put in the time, it becomes part of you. The blues scale is basically the pentatonic scale with some blues notes blended in artistically along the way. So basically there are three steps to blues scale mastery. 1. Learn the 5 pentatonic scale patterns and how they fit together. 2. Learn to incorporate the blues notes into the pentatonic scale 3. Practice them until you do not have to think about what they are and how they fit together over a blues chord progression. These are the building blocks to the mastery of blues solo guitar. A solo consists of either improvisation or planned memorized combinations of licks. Memorize these until you can literally do them in your sleep. I highly recommend a drum machine or blues backing tracks to play in the background while you are practicing them. Not only will you get better at them, its just a heck of allot of fun. Once you have memorized each individual blues scale pattern blocks, practice moving between them, up a don the neck. If you have not memorized the fretboard I have a easy to use system for doing just that.
