    Beginner guitarists: I'll only play the pentatonic Intermediate guitarists: meh, pentatonic is overplayed! Advanced guitarists: I will use a pentatonic over every single chord in giant steps using holdsworthian legato. No other scales or chords exist, they are all derived from the pentatonic Memes aside thank you for the lesson!!!

      Dipping into Mixolydian b6 is really fun over 7 chords. If it's a blues that can jump between major and minor while soloing, then that would work great. My first thought is something along the lines of Pride and Joy.

    • @beneunson

      In a Major Blues, you could use the Lydian b7 mode on the I chord - for example, if the I chord is C7, you could play C Lydian b7. Thanks for watching!
