12 Bar Blues Chord Embellishments
In this video
We'll explore sophisticated chord embellishments using triad shapes (CAGED shapes) and Blusey 9th chord voicings!
I'll show you how to create lead lines that follow the I-IV-V progression using chord-specific approaches rather than staying in one pentatonic scale throughout.
The Interactive Tab below shows the notes that can go over chords in a 12 Bar Blues using a slide and triad
A. B, and E major chord shapes
E9, A9 and B9 chord shapes
Key learning points:
• Triad shapes from within barre chord positions at 5th (A), 7th (B), and 12th frets (E)
• 9th chord voicings and a deeper understanding on how they are constructed
• Creating complete 12-bar progressions without needing backing tracks
• Integration of chord-based licks and the combo of traditional pentatonic approaches
