1

00:00:00,950  -->  00:00:02,550
Ceasy Blues Riffs.
2

2

00:00:03,780  -->  00:00:05,300
Practice these riffs and patterns,
3

3

00:00:05,300  -->  00:00:08,790
and introduce them gradually
into your improvisations.
4

4

00:00:08,790  -->  00:00:10,360
Let's start number one.
5

5

00:00:10,360  -->  00:00:14,250
As we looked at before, break the scale
down into three note patterns, and
6

6

00:00:14,250  -->  00:00:15,503
experiment with them.
7

7

00:00:15,503  -->  00:00:17,068
So, number one there.
8

8

00:00:17,068  -->  00:00:27,068
[MUSIC]
9

9

00:00:35,659  -->  00:00:39,384
Okay?
Number two is a five finger position for
10

10

00:00:39,384  -->  00:00:40,412
the scale.
11

11

00:00:40,412  -->  00:00:44,009
[MUSIC]
12

12

00:00:44,009  -->  00:00:48,075
It's very rarely used because you always
want to keep your hand free to move up
13

13

00:00:48,075  -->  00:00:48,647
and down.
14

14

00:00:48,647  -->  00:00:50,774
So when you put your small finger on it,
15

15

00:00:50,774  -->  00:00:55,170
you're going to find it difficult to move
further up unless you shift your hand.
16

16

00:00:55,170  -->  00:00:57,507
So
[MUSIC]
17

17

00:00:57,507  -->  00:00:59,029
Generally, you don't put the five.
18

18

00:00:59,029  -->  00:01:04,089
[MUSIC]
19

19

00:01:04,089  -->  00:01:06,161
You're kind of stuck.
20

20

00:01:06,161  -->  00:01:09,635
Number three is a slide.
21

21

00:01:09,635  -->  00:01:19,957
[MUSIC]
22

22

00:01:19,957  -->  00:01:20,505
Okay.
23

23

00:01:20,505  -->  00:01:24,203
Number four sounds similar,
but stretches the sound out.
24

24

00:01:24,203  -->  00:01:26,335
[SOUND] So rather than
25

25

00:01:26,335  -->  00:01:36,335
[MUSIC]
26

26

00:01:37,713  -->  00:01:39,240
Number five, I call this the Bonnie and
27

27

00:01:39,240  -->  00:01:41,330
Clyde riff because it always
reminds me of that song.
28

28

00:01:41,330  -->  00:01:50,188
[MUSIC]
29

29

00:01:50,188  -->  00:01:52,179
Number six, something similar,
slight variation.
30

30

00:01:52,179  -->  00:02:02,179
[MUSIC]
31

31

00:02:03,394  -->  00:02:07,803
Seven, eight, and nine are three similar
patterns just with slight variations.
32

32

00:02:07,803  -->  00:02:10,809
So number one, third finger on the F.
33

33

00:02:10,809  -->  00:02:16,132
[MUSIC]
34

34

00:02:16,132  -->  00:02:20,521
Number two is very similar, they both add
a top C on, makes a nice ringing sound.
35

35

00:02:20,521  -->  00:02:30,521
[MUSIC]
36

36

00:02:34,560  -->  00:02:35,736
Okay?
So, you can still hear
37

37

00:02:35,736  -->  00:02:36,654
the underlying riff.
38

38

00:02:36,654  -->  00:02:38,359
[MUSIC]
39

39

00:02:38,359  -->  00:02:40,290
But you give an extra C.
40

40

00:02:40,290  -->  00:02:41,712
[MUSIC]
41

41

00:02:41,712  -->  00:02:42,260
Sound okay.
42

42

00:02:42,260  -->  00:02:43,704
Number nine.
43

43

00:02:43,704  -->  00:02:45,024
It's the same riff.
44

44

00:02:45,024  -->  00:02:47,828
[MUSIC]
45

45

00:02:47,828  -->  00:02:49,230
But with a trill in there.
46

46

00:02:49,230  -->  00:02:59,230
[MUSIC]
47

47

00:03:08,367  -->  00:03:09,485
Number ten.
48

48

00:03:09,485  -->  00:03:12,492
Blues riffs often use double notes,
so this gives an extra ring.
49

49

00:03:12,492  -->  00:03:15,621
And you often slide onto
the notes from a flat note.
50

50

00:03:15,621  -->  00:03:20,498
[MUSIC]
51

51

00:03:20,498  -->  00:03:21,656
So the first one is too distinct.
52

52

00:03:21,656  -->  00:03:22,731
[MUSIC]
53

53

00:03:22,731  -->  00:03:24,357
That one, all into that, and
the next one is the same.
54

54

00:03:24,357  -->  00:03:34,357
[MUSIC]
55

55

00:03:38,884  -->  00:03:42,195
And number 11 is the same
riff over two octaves.
56

56

00:03:42,195  -->  00:03:52,195
[MUSIC]
57

57

00:04:02,837  -->  00:04:04,792
So, you can see that
all these patterns and
58

58

00:04:04,792  -->  00:04:06,921
riffs in the scale work
over the three chords.
59

59

00:04:06,921  -->  00:04:10,192
Number 12,
you'll have heard this a million times,
60

60

00:04:10,192  -->  00:04:12,570
but try transposing it to F and G as well.
61

61

00:04:12,570  -->  00:04:14,784
So in C, it's
62

62

00:04:14,784  -->  00:04:20,107
[MUSIC]
63

63

00:04:20,107  -->  00:04:24,820
F.
[MUSIC]
64

64

00:04:24,820  -->  00:04:28,742
Back to C.
[MUSIC]
65

65

00:04:28,742  -->  00:04:32,704
G.
[MUSIC]
66

66

00:04:32,704  -->  00:04:38,068
C.
[MUSIC]
67

67

00:04:38,068  -->  00:04:41,379
Number 13 is simply the blue scale
over two octaves up and down.
68

68

00:04:41,379  -->  00:04:49,973
[MUSIC]
69

69

00:04:49,973  -->  00:04:51,639
Or, you can use four finger pattern.
70

00:04:51,639  -->  00:05:01,639
