During “All That Guitar Festival 2019”, I will be delighted to share with colleague guitarist information about Blues music. A genre, that defined the playing of the electric guitar in all its aspects.
In the first part of the workshop, we will talk about the basic form of Blues, rhythmic elements, scales and arpeggios, phrasing as well as improvisation not only in a static way but also following the harmony. In the second part, we will deal with chords (drop II – drop III) and substitutions, thus giving a richer sound to the Blues cycle. The third part consists of the use of Diminished -Whole Tone-Lydian b7 and Altered on the Dominant chords of the cycle. And of course we’ll play together BLUES!
I’m waiting for you at the guitar festival that I have the honor of participating in.
