Blues Study Group: Soloing and comping the 12 bar form in A

Usual location.  Ask Paul or Lonny if you don’t know it!

Reach Lonny at:  www.southislandstudio.com.

We continue our study of the pentatonic scale and 3 string

chord comping.  Our focus will be:  placing the lick

or the comp in time.   Key of A 12 bar.   My goal is to provide

you with some clear exercises to try that I hope will be helpful

both at home and in the jam sessions.

So glad to have dobro, blues harp and drums along

with all the good guitar last session.  Getting bass happening

as well is a focus for the group.  And for those interested I

will be floating a performance opportunity.

Some song suggestions:  Anyway the Wind Blows,  (E)

Help Me  (Em),   Walking Blues  (G),  Love Changing Blues (D),

Rambling on My Mind (D).  We’ll jam in standard tuning but

for those who want to a few tunes in D that were originally

written in open D.  Still got the Skip James in open D minor

for those who are interested.
