Hello Cherries! There are a few tricks I've learned along the years for soloing over a minor blues progression. First you need to learn the progression Cm, Fm, Gm, and then the G7 for the turnaround. You can simply play the C minor pentatonic or blues scale over the full progression. As simple as that may be you have to put your heart and soul into it, it's the blues after all. Bending notes in tune is crucial to sounding good. Just like a singer needs to be in tune so does your solo playing. After that play the C minor scale, the C F and G minor pentatonic scale, and the C harmonic minor over the G7 turnaround. Focus on chord tones. That's more important than playing scales. Be expressive. Say something with your solo's and phrasing. I go through all of this and more in this video so please check it out. Have a great week Everybody and I'll see you inside the video 😊 🎸
