Lick Library Mastering The Blues Part One and Part Two [TUTORiAL]

Two parts of Mastering The Blues course by Levi Clay.

Mastering The Blues Part One

Prepare to take your blues playing and knowledge to the next level! A common misconception with the blues is that it’s the same 12 bar progression over and over, but even a “12 bar blues” could mean a whole host of things. In this course Levi Clay walks you through the ins and outs of numerous 12 bar progressions with example performances and more with full transcriptions and backing tracks.

Lessons include:

• 12 Bar Blues
• Quick Change
• I IV V Minor Blues
• bVI V Minor Blues
• Miles Davis “All Blues”
• Jazz Blues

Mastering The Blues Part Two

Continuing on with his Mastering the Blues series, in this installment Levi Clay takes you beyond the realm of playing a scale over the blues, and instead focuses on adding a little jazz influence by outlining the chord changes more closely. Using a mixture of pentatonics, blues scales, arpeggios and various other scale ideas, you’ll learn to apply music theory to a whole host of blues progressions and play more interesting blues solos.

Lessons include:

• Minor Pentatonic Scale
• Dominant 7th Arpeggios
• Mixolydian Scale Analysis
• Negotiating Minor Chords
• Balancing Vocabulary
• The Minor Blues
