12 Bar Blues - learning to solo.
Learning to solo with 5 notes - the scale is called a Penta-tonic scale.
Click on the audio file below to start the background track for our blues song. You'll hear a hi-hat count you off.
Using just the 5 notes in a Pentatonic Scale, try to make up a solo that would fit our song.
Start easy - just quarter notes - then progress to using eighth notes - then progress to using notes that are either sharp or flat or NOT in the 5 note pattern. Always try to keep it so it sounds good. We're not trying to scare away cats... :)
