3 note blues solo Video Lesson
Guitar Theory Made Simple!Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.

Guitar Lesson Overview
Can you really play a 12 bar solo with only 3 notes? Well, sure you can! In this video, I am playing over a 12 bar blues in the key of A, and each time through the 12 bars, I play only 3 notes from the A minor pentatonic scale. It's not my best blues solo ever, granted, but it is a good exercise in itself, and the video may be helpful in demonstrating that you don't need to play a lot of notes when you are playing the blues.
It's all about phrasing and making musical statements. That's what great about the blues - you can play 3 notes over and over - slightly change the way you phrase those 3 notes every time - and voila, it can sound great. Practice playing fewer notes when soloing and see how you fare.
The backing track is called "Get Close" and can be found on my backing tracks page.
