Jam Track 31: Blues Scale

In this video

This Jam Track consolidates your blues scale knowledge by working through 3 different positions on the neck.

We'll use classic rock vocabulary inspired by AC/DC while keeping everything in scale order.

Main Learning Points for this Jam Track:

  • Opening riff in Open Position

  • Second riff: 12 bar blues inspired!

  • Third riff: Lower octave of E blues scale at the 12th fret

  • Final challenge lick: 12th fret position E minor Blues Scale pattern

  • Working the blues scale in order across different octaves

  • Developing neck navigation skills for transitions you might encounter in songs!

  • Tempo increase from a slower tempo to faster

This jam track teaches you to visualise the neck in sections and jump between positions, which is exactly what happens in real songs when you move from verse to solo for example.

The tempo shift gives you a taste of what's possible with metronome practice, something harder to achieve when playing along to recordings that are fixed tempos usually!
