In this insightful interview, blues guitar maestro Joe Bonamassa helps us unlock the fingerboard and get out of those pentatonic ruts we as guitarists can get stuck in. Watch as he and Gibson Gear Guide host, Dinesh Lekhraj show us how to move between scales, taking inspiration from our favorite blues guitar players like Albert King. This foundational knowledge of blues licks and scales, Joe argues, is the key to unlocking a world of musical possibilities, allowing for expressive and innovative playing that can set us free from the patterns we as guitar players tend to gravitate towards, time and time again.
Another key piece of advice Joe offers is that guitarists experiment with playing familiar phrases in various neck positions, thereby discovering new creative avenues that we may not have thought of when building a guitar solo. He introduces the idea of modal playing, particularly the Mixolydian mode, to add a fresh twist to the blues scale.
This blues guitar lesson from Joe Bonamassa will improve your soloing in less than 4 minutes. Enjoy this excellent guitar solo, pentatonic and playing tips from the Grammy award-winning guitarist!
