Ceasy Blues, Part 3. 2 2
Using the C Blues Scale. 3 3
So, now you have a scale that is guaranteed to send a change over the three 4 4
chord changes. 5 5
C7. 6 6
[MUSIC] 7 7
F7. 8 8
[MUSIC] 9 9
G7. 10 10
[MUSIC] 11 11
So, now it's time to use the scale in ways that sound more interesting. 12 12
Before we learn any set patterns or riffs, 13 13
read the chapter in book five on how to play melodies and improvise. 14 14
Don't just play random notes. 15 15
It's okay to go up and down the scale to begin with. 16 16
[MUSIC] 17 17
Because you want to get used to the shapes you're fingering. 18 18
[MUSIC] 19 19
So, just keep going up and down and try to get used to that. 20 20
But don't just play random notes. 21 21
So, once you know the scale, don't just play- 22 22
[MUSIC] 23 23
Not going to mean anything to anyone. 24 24
See if you can break the scale into two, three, four note patterns. 25 25
Structure it in some way or other. 26 26
So- 27 27
[MUSIC] 28 28
Try small patterns. 29 29
[MUSIC] 30 30
You could also try starting from different points in the scale. 31 31
Most people, they learn the scale and they just start middle C. 32 32
Okay, why not start, maybe, high up on the C? 33 33
[MUSIC] 34 34
You change to the F. 35 35
When I go to the F- 36 36
[MUSIC] 37 37
Then the G, you can go to the G. 38 38
[MUSIC] 39 39
Just keep experimenting, as they say. 40 40
Go up the scale. 41 41
[MUSIC] 42 42
Try three or four octaves. 43 43
[MUSIC] 44 44
Keep practicing with that scale, and then we'll learn some riffs and patterns.
