That sucks. Maybe you chould just not drive it anymore, and then I can come over and you can teach me how to solo.

I tried my hand at soloing during our Blues practice this week. Wasn't pretty, but I was praised for actually trying.

bass lesson

ok.

lesson #1:

find the key the blues tune is in.

say its in G. (the first and last chord will almost always (99% of the time) tell you the key of a blues tune.

say its in G. on the low E string, the G falls on the third fret. this is where we will start.

use this pattern,your first finger will always be on the third fret:

TAB version of blues scale:

G:3-5
D:3-5
A:3-4-5
E:3-6

this pattern can be moved up and down the neck as necessary to the apropriate key. (A=fifth fret, C=eigth fret, etc.)

and there it is, blues 101.
