  • In this lesson, I'll show you how to get to the IV chord of a blues progression using altered chords, the altered scale, and ii-V-Is. This concept is frequently used by jazz-influenced blues guitarists like Robben Ford, Josh Smith, Matt Schofield, and Chris Cain.

    Jamey, you are genius! I’ve learnt more about the theory, the approach and playing the blues in an afternoon of watching you videos than I have in the last 5 years! Awesome 🤩
    There’s hours of content here to digest and practice, in easily broken down bite sized sections.
    Thank you!

    outstanding lesson! I think your triad lesson really helped me more than anything I've done in a long time. As you're going through all these different ways to play through the changes from the I to the IV really studying triads made it a lot more accessible.

    I will keep reading and practising until I get this.❤ You are awesome to do this. A kid at school gave me live at the Regal in about 1967. My head spun around. Met BB 5 years after a show. He chatted for 2 Hours. A kind generous man. I did not understand when he explained his tone was in his fingers. I really miss him.

    • @m.vonhollen6673
      @m.vonhollen6673 Před měsícem +2

      Good joke! In case you, or anyone else, doesn’t understand what a “tritone sub” is, here goes. Say you’re going from a G7 to a C major, in that G7 chord B is the 3rd and F is the b7. That interval between B and F (or F and B) is a #4 or a b5. That interval is 2 notes separated by 3 whole steps, hence the term “tritone”. Now if you take the bass note of G and replace it with a note that’s a tritone away, C#, now instead of going G7-C, you can now go C#7-C. You have replaced that G7 chord with its TRITONE SUB (a chord that has the same tritone but a different bass note). That’s my best explanation of what it is. Cheers!
      (That’s because C#7 has F as it’s 3rd and B as it’s b7, the inversion of G7’s tritone also of F and B.)

    E Melodic Minor Would Work For Improvisation…Because A Lydian Dominant (Lydian b7) Is the 4th of E….The Altered Dominant is the 7 of E Melodic Minor (D#)…E F# G A B C# D#…Might Could Write the Progression In Mixolydian…B7-A7-D#7…OR I-VII-IV ETC…Great Technique Throughout the Lesson!

    This is out of my pay grade...for now. I'm a Newbie and learning the fretboard, and just started playing double stops. I want to master my triads before I tackle sevenths or other fancy stuff. I'm just now practicing thirds, but also the 3 & 7 or 3 & b7. I was taking it through the Circle of Fourths, but now have to start thinking of two notes as being in two different chords.
    Food for thought, n'est-ce pas?

    confused why in the key of A you call the Em7 the 2 - isn't that the 5 of A? - help LOL

    • @JameyArent
      @JameyArent  Před měsícem +6

      Emin is the ii chord of D7. We're temporarily thinking of D (the IV chord of the blues) as our new key, so the ii-V-I taking us to D would make Emin the ii chord of D, A7 the V chord of D, and D7 our temporary new I chord for 2 measures.

      The 2 (and 5) references the chord you are heading towards - Em7 is the 2 of D and A is the 5 of D. Therefore a 2-5 -1 Turnaround (where the 1 is D) is what Jamey is talking about. This confused me for a very long time...

    actually, the 4 chord should occur in the second bar.

      It occurs in the second bar as an optional “quick change” but the longer landing on the IV in a traditional bar occurs in bars 5-6.
