Jamming the Blues

 —  —

Gryphon, 211 Lambert Ave., Palo Alto, California

Jamming the Blues (Blues Soloing: the Pentatonic Scale) 1:30-3:30 Price: $50 For guitar players who want to learn how to solo over blues changes. We will take a basic 12 bar blues as our background format and use ideas based on scales and riffs to learn the art of soloing. This will be a lot of fun for those folks who have a little background in playing blues rhythms, but want to create lead lines that are rippin! Whether you know the pentatonic scale or not, Pete will show the class how to break it down into small chunks: play short phrases (licks), and work towards a “call" and “response” in your solo playing.
