Hello Cherries! One of the most popular questions that I get asked is "What is the number system?" 🤨 There are chord progressions like 1-4-5, or 1-6-2-5, or 2-5-1. These number's are all based around a scale formula. From there you can learn about what I feel is the most important thing to know in music, the 7 diatonic chords 🎸 Enjoy the video and have a great week Everybody 😊

Hello Cherries! There's another angle to approach blues soloing. Most players including myself play the blues with the minor pentatonic or blues scale. Even know that can sound so good it's always a little tricky because your using a minor scale to play over a dominant chord which is major. You have to bend the minor 3rd up sometimes. With the major blues scale "Think Allman Brothers," you're taking a happier scale with the option of making it sadder. So minor blues starts sad but you can make happy. Major blues starts happy and you can make sad. It's definately worth exploring. In this video I'll give you some pointers on how to do that. Enjoy the video and have a great week.

Hello Cherries! I confused some people a few weeks ago with a video that I made titled "Do This to Figure out What Key your in." 🤔 I took some heat over the video not living up to its title 😳 It was more of a chord analysis video teaching the chords of a song then learning the scales to solo over it. What that tittle really suggested to people was how to establish the key if they don't know it. In this video I'll show you how to use your ear to locate the chords of a song. Then we'll analyze it to find they key for soloing. Enjoy the video and have a great week Everybody ❤️
