12-Bar Blues

Growing up in Memphis has been a real treat, for me.

There’s so much blues music here, it’s incredible.

BB King’s restaurant is here, as well as the world-famous Beale Street — where you can go anytime of day or night to hear some great blues music.

If you’re going to play blues, there’s one thing you should definitelyknow — the “12 Bar Blues.”

Basically, the twelve bar blues is this:

I7 chord for four bars IV7 for two bars I7 for two bars V7 for one bar IV7 for one bar I7 for one bar V7 for one bar

Add all the bars (or measures) together and you get twelve “bars.”

So, here’s what that means:

Let’s say you’re in the key of E Major. The tab for the chords you’d play are:

E7 (I7 in the key of E) for 4 bars (four measures of 4/4 time)

—0—
—3—
—1—
—2—
—2—
—0—

A7 (IV7 in the key of E) for two bars

—3—
—2—
—2—
—2—
—X—
—X—

E7 (I7 in the key of E) for 2 bars

—0—
—3—
—1—
—2—
—2—
—0—

B7 (V7 in the key of E) for one bar

—2—
—0—
—2—
—1—
—2—
—X—

A7 (IV7 in the key of E) for one bar

—3—
—2—
—2—
—2—
—X—
—X—

E7 (I7 in the key of E) for one bar

—0—
—3—
—1—
—2—
—2—
—0—

B7 (V7 in the key of E) for one bar

—2—
—0—
—2—
—1—
—2—
—X—

Then, start the whole thing over again.

Now, if you’re going to play a solo over this twelve bar blues, you’d need to knowwhich scale to use.

Because you’re in the key of E Major, you’d use the E Blues Scale.

Here’s that scale in it’s first position in the key of E Major:

————————————-12-15-
——————————-12-15——-
———————-12-14-15————-
—————-12-14———————-
——-12-13-14—————————-
-12-15————————————-

Use this scale to solo over the 12 bar blues rhythm above.

If you’d like to hear a quick example of me playing this progression using theBlues Pentatonic scale, turn your speakers up and go here:

Hope that helps get you pointed in the right direction as far as playing blues.

I want to thank you for taking the time to read my 6-Part Mini-Course. I hope you’ve gotten some real value out of it!

I wish you all the best with your guitar playing!

A Fatal Mistake To Always Avoid

I’d like to share a story with you. It’s long, but worth it…

In 1996 I was a sophomore at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. I was studying operatic voice. It was an amazing experience. I was surrounded by some of the most amazing musicians in the world. There were people there from every walk of life and just about every country on earth.

It was a real eye-opener for a country boy from Coldwater, Mississippi whose father was in construction. These kid’s parents were all musicians. They had all formal training since they were 3.

They were miles ahead of me before they even started school. So, I had to kind of play it safe. Not show my ignorance. Not let everyone know that while they had were learning Rachmaninoff’s piano concerto #3 at the age of 10, I was out riding a four-wheeler in the Mississippi mud.

But after a while it began to get to me… I started to believe that I didn’t stack up. I really wasn’t “worthy” of being there. That it was somehow a mistake that I had gotten in this prestigious music school. Then a funny thing happened…

It was a blistering, cold winter that year. The wind chill was -30F. Snow blowing sideways so hard, that you literally could not open your eyes. You could practically lean into the wind and it would hold you up.

And low and behold, Steve Vai came to play at our school. (For those of you who don’t know… Steve Vai, whether you like his music or not, is unarguably one of the most talented “rocker” style guitarist around. He’s a virtuoso guitarist, lots of instrumental stuff. Mega talented.)

It was a weird venue. He played in the Eastman Theater. Which was strange because it was normally reserved for “real” concerts: Brahms’ Requiem, Verdi’s Otello, Piano Concerto’s. I remember seeing Vai up on the concert-hall stage. His band all around him. It just seem strange seeing this rocker playing in a concert hall that had a chandelier worth $30,0000.

Anyway, he played a great gig. Though there was hardly anyone there. The hall was practically empty. Maybe 100 people showed up to see this guy. Not many people even knew who he was. After the show, my friend, Matt, walked up to Vai and congradulated him on a great show and invited to buy him a cup of coffee.

At the crowded, little coffee shop across the street from the hall, Matt, a classical guitar major there at Eastman, sat and picked Vai’s brain for a couple of hours. Vai was extremely humble. In fact, after talking to him for those brief moments, Matt walked away a changed person. Turns out that Vai had told Matt that he wasn’t “worthy” (or something to that effect).

He insisted that we (those of us attending “classical,” conservatory) were the “real” musicians. He didn’t “deserve” to play for us conservatory types. Strangely enough, it seemed like he was intimidated.

Now, I wasn’t there. I didn’t hear those words come from his mouth. In fact, it was a private conversation that Matt had with him. So, I can’t personally vouch that every word is true.

But, then again, I have no reason to doubt what Matt had said… he was a good friend and quite trustworthy. So, what the heck is the point? Good question. The point is you can NEVER, ever compare yourself to other people. Just don’t do it. This is such an important point, I’m going to say it again…

NEVER COMPARE YOURSELF AND YOUR ABILITIES TO OTHERS!

Why? Because there will ALWAYS be someone out there who’s faster, better, quicker, smoother, more clever, writes songs better, has more finesse, etc. Always. Always. Always.

You’ve got to focus on what you do. And forget what other people think. Don’t get caught up in it. It’s just stupid. You will wear yourself out. You will NOT be happy. You will NOT be a better musician for it. You will, in fact, go backwards. You’ll burn out. You’ll get frustrated.

That experience taught me to snap out of it. To completely focus my energy, not on how I compared to other musicians, but on how I was doing… how I was doing this week as compared to last week. How I was going to be better today than I was yesterday. How I could maximize my abilities vs. how I stacked up against the next guy.

It can be blinding. Damaging. Dangerous. So, I swore not to do it any more. And I don’t. As soon as I start to even think about how much better some person is than me, I stop. I remind myself that no matter how good you are… even if you’re Steve Vai, there will always be people who are better.

The point is… make good music. Progress in your own right. In your own style. Focus on accomplishing YOUR goals as a guitarist. Maybe your goal is to be the next Steve Vai. Or maybe it’s just to learn how to play three chords for your Wednesday night church service. Maybe you decided to play guitar so you watch less TV. (Which we all could probably use less of.)

Whatever your motive, keep it pure. Keep it true. Keep it focused. Don’t get off on the ugly road of comparing yourself to other musicians. It’s a dead end. Keep up the good work.

Fight the good fight.

Until next time…

Cheers,

Chords In The Major Scale

OK, so now you know that a Major scale is made upof 8 notes. And that between each note is either a whole step or ahalf step. And that a Major scale has these “intervals”:

W, W, H,W, W, W, H

OK, there’s a new word: “intervals”.

In order to understand chords, you have to understand the concept of intervals:

Let’s take our D Major scale from last time.

E—————– <-- 1st string
B—————– <-- 2nd string
G————-6-7- <-- 3rd string
D——-5-7-9—– <-- 4th string
A-5-7-9———– <-- 5th string
E—————– <-- 6th string

Intervals are REALLY simple. First, you name each note according towhere it falls in the scale.

HERE ARE THE INTERVALS IN THE D MAJOR SCALE:

MAJOR 2ND:

——-
——-
——-
——-
-5-7—
——-

MAJOR 3RD:

——-
——-
——-
-5-9—
——-

PERFECT 4TH:

——-
——-
——-
—5—
-5—–
——-

PERFECT 5TH:

——-
——-
——-
—7—
-5—–
——-

MAJOR 6TH:

——-
——-
——-
—9—
-5—–
——-

MAJOR 7TH:

——-
——-
—6—
——-
-5—–
——-

PERFECT 8TH:
(Also called an “octave”)

——-
——-
—7—
——-
-5—–
——-

Go play these intervals, now so you can start getting the sound of them in your ears.
Now, here’s the great thing…

Once you understand intervals, you’re ready to start playing CHORDS! Because chords are just notes put together in a certain scale.

There are two basic chords in any scale: Major and minor.

And these Major and minor chords are made up of three notes (called a “triad”).

A triad has these intervals of 1, 3 and 5.

So, let’s look at theD Major chord in the D Major scale.

D MAJOR SCALE

E——————————–
B————-2-3—————-
G———2-4——————–
D—–4-5————————
A-5-7—————————-
E——————————–

D MAJOR CHORD

E——————————–
B——————————–
G———2———————-
D—–4————————–
A-5——————————
E——————————–

Notice that the intervals are 1, 3rd and a 5th. Now, you can play these notes anyway you want. Here’s another way they could be played.

D MAJOR CHORD (1st inversion)

E——————————–
B————3——————-
G———2———————-
D——4————————-
A——————————–
E——————————–

Or you could play these notes this way…

D MAJOR CHORD (2nd inversion)

E—————2—————-
B————3——————-
G———2———————-
D——————————–
A——————————–
E——————————–

Congratulations! You now know how to play a D Major chord in allthree of its “inversions.” (More on that later).

Now, you can add as many notes to that chord as you want as long asthey are always the 1, 3rd and 5th of the D Major scale:

You could play…

E—————2—————-
B————3——————-
G———2———————-
D——0————————-
A——————————–
E——————————–

Or…

E—————2—————-
B————3——————-
G———2———————-
D——0————————-
A—0—————————-
E——————————–

There’s still only 3 notes (the 1, 3rd and 5th of the D Majorscale, I’ve just added a few octaves).
Remember last time I said that music is a lot like math? Well, it’sa lot like riding a bike, too. Once you learn how, it seems like the easiest thing in the world. But before you can ride without yourtraining wheels, it seems absolutely impossible.

The point to this lesson is to show you that from the D Major scale, we get the D Major chord.
What I’m building up to is teaching you how to pick up any book or song be able to play it. How good would THAT feel?

Until next time, take care and practice hard.

Cheers,

How To Understand Scales:

Do your eyes start to roll back in your head whenyou people start talking about scales and key signatures? Well, never fear. It’s actually a lot simpler than most people makeit. Here’s what I mean…

Scales are just notes put together in a certain way. And there areonly 8 note possibilities in any scale.

Let’s take C major for example. The notes in a C Major scale are C,D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
(Go grab your guitar, right now and try this. I promise it will make a lot more sense.)
If you played these notes on your guitar they would be:

E———————————–
B———————————–
G———————————–
D———————————–
A-3-5-7-8-10-12-14-15—————
E———————————–

Simple enough, right?

Now a scale is made up of whole steps and half steps.

A whole step would be 3 to 5 (you skip fret 4).

A half step is 7 to 8.

So, a C major scale played on the A string is:

3-5 (Whole step)
5-7 (Whole step)
7-8 (Half step)
8-10 (Whole step)
10-12 (Whole step)
12-14 (Whole step)
14-15 (Half step)

Now, here’s the beautiful thing: Once you memorize this formulaW, W, H, W, W, W, H you can play ANY major scale!

So if you want to play a D Major scale, you simply start on D andfollow the formula:

E———————————–
B———————————–
G———————————–
D-0-2-4-5-7-9-11-12—————–
A———————————–
E———————————–

Now, you can play these same notes anywhere on the fretboard, it’sall the same scale!

E———————————–
B———————————–
G————-6-7——————-
D——-5-7-9———————–
A-5-7-9—————————–
E———————————–

You can play this same scale here also:

E———————————–
B———————————–
G———————————–
D——————-11-12———–
A———-10-12-14—————–
E-10-12-14————————–

Now, notice that each scale above is made up of 8 notes. From E10to D12 is a “octave.” (”Oct” stands for eight. Remember, an octagonhas eight sides?)

If you wanted to play the D Majorscale in two octaves, it would look like this:

E————————–7-9-10—
B——————-7-8-10———-
G————-6-7-9—————–
D——-5-7-9———————–
A-5-7-9—————————–
E———————————–

So, now you know how to play a D Major scale in two octaves. But, guess what. If you can play a D Major scale, you can play ANY major scale!

All you’ve got to do is follow the formula I gave you:
Pick any note. Let’s say E, for example. Start on E, and then follow the W, W, H, W, W, W, H formula. In tab, it looks like this:

E———————————–
B———————————–
G———————————–
D———————————–
A———————————–
E-0-2-4-5-7-9-11-12—————–

Ok, now that you know how a Major scale is formed, you should go practice these. Find any note. Then follow the W, W, H, W, W, W, H formula to play the Major scale in that key.

Once you’ve got this down, fairly well, we can move on to the other scales that you’ll come across in guitar playing: Natural Minor,Melodic Minor and Harmonic Minor.

Then, once we’ve got those, we can go to chord structure. Then chord progressions. In part 7, we’ll move on to some chords that can be made from these notes in the Major scale.

So, make sure you practice this lesson before you start the next.
Music is a lot like math. Each concept builds on the previous. You can’t multiply 2 X 2 until you can add 2 + 2.

So, don’t put off practicing the concepts in this lesson.

Take care…

Cheers,

“What To Do When You’re Completely Out Of Ideas”

It’s REALLY important in order to create your own style. So, I hope you’ve found some time to break out your favorite records and try toplay a little “copy-cat.” If you have, you’ll probably notice a couple of things:

1) Just by “copying” other people’s style you improve yours and

2) You get a flood of new ideas, riffs, licks, etc.

So, today I want you know about something a little weird. Well, at least I’ve never really heard anyone talk about it much. That is, have you thought about trying to imitate other INSTRUMENTS on your guitar?

Now, you’re probably thinking, “What the…” Let me explain.

In the early 1700’s there was a tendency to write music for the voice that imitatedinstruments. So, for example, if you listen to Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, you’ll hear thathe wrote much of the solo vocal music to imitate instruments like the violin or flute.

There would be just a few words in any particular solo. But there would behundreds of notes.And many of these notes are sung a single syllables of a single word.Later (much later) there were composers who did the opposite. Think about it.

Where did the Blues come from? If you ask the average person that question, they’ll probably say, “Memphis”(my home) or “St. Louis” or “New Orleans.”But that’s only partially correct. Those are cities where famous Blues and Jazzmusicians come from. But…Blues actually came from spirituals.

And these Blues guitarists were doing the opposite of what Bach had done.They would make their guitar sound like the human voice, not vice-versa.That’s where the saying, “He can really make that guitar SING!” came from. (At least that’s my guess.)

But there are other ways to experiment with this idea, too.Why don’t you grab your favorite classical record and try to imitate the oboe solofrom a Beethoven symphony? Or try to figure out a particular violin passage from a concerto. Or try to play the melody to a piano concerto. The point is, you want to think outside the box.WAY… outside.

I remember playing in a heavy metal band, years ago… I walked in to a practice session once, and announced that I had some new materialthat I wanted to show everybody. Then I said, “Yeah, this is so cool. I just swiped this right from the sound trackto the Dracula movie.” (Which by the way had NO guitar in it, whatsoever.)

There was dead silence. Everyone was just staring at me. Then the drummer said, “Dan, you’re a freak man. A real freak.” Of course, to me that meant, “Man, you’re doing stuff we’ve never even thought of.” Which to me was a big compliment.

So, there you have secret #2 from me… Go learn new material by imitating other instruments (including voice) in othergenres of music.

In part 3, I’m going to reveal some more *SECRETS* so, hold on to your hat…

Cheers,


Dan Denley

If you follow this simple plan, you’ll immediately and dramatically improve your playing, guaranteed.

But first, let me give you a real-life example…

How long do you think that Brett Favre (Super Bowl winning QB of the Green Bay Packers)would have lasted if he said something like…

“I really don’t want to work out. I don’t like it. It’s mundane. Tedious. Boring.I just want to go out and play.”

What if during the off season he sat around and did nothing? No running. No weight lifting. No swimming. No biking. No conditioning. Well, you and I both know the answer to that hypothetical situation.

If Favre had refused to condition his body, not only would he not have made itto the NFL, he wouldn’t have made it on the Southern Mississippi football team, or his local high school team, for that matter.

It’s a fact. If you’re an athlete, you MUST train your muscles for competition. But there’s more to it than that. There’s the physiological phenomenon of your body being able to do what your braintells it to.

Here’s what I mean…

Brett Favre could tell his arm that he wanted to throw a pass 50 yards all day long.But, unless his arm was physically capable of responding to that “brain command” hestill wouldn’t be able to do it.

It’s the same way with guitar.

You have to “train” your hand and arm muscles to do what you tell them to. You have to condition them. You have to think of your body like an athlete does his or hers.
How do you do this? By doing a little “conditioning” every day.

You should start, NOW. Don’t put this off.

QUICK EXPLAINATION OF THE EXERCISES:

These are tablature. Each dashed lined is a string. The numbers are frets, not finger numbers.

———————1234-2345——————— <-E string
—————–1234———2345—————– <-B string
————-1234—————–2345————- <-G string
———1234————————-2345——— <-D string
—–1234———————————2345—– <-A string
-1234—————————————–2345- <-E string


Start with some simple exercises like this:

———————1234-2345———————
—————–1234———2345—————–
————-1234—————–2345————-
———1234————————-2345———
—–1234———————————2345—–
-1234—————————————–2345-

Then go to…

———————4321-5432———————
—————–4321———5432—————–
————-4321—————–5432————-
———4321————————-5432———
—–4321———————————5432—–
-4321—————————————–5432-

Then go to…

———————1423-2534———————
—————–1423———2534—————–
————-1423—————–2534————-
———1423————————-2534———
—–1423———————————2534—–
-1423—————————————–2534-

Then try this…

———————1324–2435———————
—————–1324———-2435—————–
————-1324——————2435————-
———1324————————–2435———
—–1324———————————-2435—–
-1324——————————————2435-

You will want to take these all the way up to about the 12th fret. Then reverse themand come all the way back down. Also, you can practice these same exercisespicking both up and down, then all down, then all up.

And if you really want to get serious grab your metronome and use it while yourpracticing. Is this fun? Well… for geeks like me, it kind of is.

But, that’s not the point.

Do you think that when Favre was running 3 miles a day,he was grinning the whole waysaying, “Gee, this is great!” No. He was thinking about winning the Super Bowl,which WOULD be fun.
Even if you play guitar “just for fun” these exercises are still for you.

Why? Because once you train your fingers to do what you tell them to by conditioning them,playing guitar will be MORE fun because you’ll be in greater control.

I promise you this: if you take seriously these few exercisesand practice them every day for 10 minutes BEFORE you start to play,you will see a significant improvement in your playing in as little as 14 days.

Hope this helps. Keep in touch…

Cheers,


Dan Denley

P.S. Don’t go nuts with this right off the bat. Build up speed and duration,gradually. And if you feel any PAIN whatsoever, stop immediately. These should be effortless and smooth.

The Unrevealed “Secret” To Developing Your Own Style

One of the biggest mistakes I see folks make, especially when they’re just starting out, is NOT playing copy-cat. What do I mean by “Copy Cat?” Well…Let me explain.

As you may or may not know, I graduated top of my class with a bachelor’s degree in Music History, with a minor in classical piano and operatic voice. (Go here if you’d like to see all the courses I took in college,including the the grades I got, http://www.amazingguitarsecrets.com/transcript.htm)

Anyway, I don’t say that to brag or boast. That’s not it at all. I just mention it, so you’ll understand where I’m coming from.

Anyway, when I was in music school, one glaring fact hit me straight between the eyeslike I had been shot with a diamond…

Brahms wouldn’t have become Brahms, without Beethoven.

Beethoven wouldn’t have become Beethoven, without Mozart.

Mozart wouldn’t have become Mozart, without Haydn.

Haydn wouldn’t have become Haydn, without Bach.

Bach wouldn’t have become Bach, without Palestrina.

Palestrina wouldn’t have become Palestrina, without Gregorian Chant.

And so endlessly goes the parade.

So, what’s all this got to do with playing guitar?

Well, a lot, actually.

See, I know a lot of guitarists who, to put it bluntly, are just too dang lazy to get up off their butts and learn a few songs (or even a few licks) from someone who’s gone ahead of them.

They say things like, “Ah… I just want to play my own stuff, man. I don’t want to be playing other people’s songs. I want to write my own.”

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

Here’s the whole point.You CAN’T play “your own stuff” until you’ve learned the styles, tricks, sounds,and methods of other players. You just can’t. Let me put it another way.

If Beethoven had to learn how to play Mozart’s sonatas to be ableto develop HIS unique style, do you REALLY think you’re going to develop yours by just “playing your own stuff?” Come on…

So, go ahead. Break out that Clapton recording you’ve got. Blow the dust off. And play “copy cat” all afternoon. I guarantee you, you’ll wake up tomorrow with all kinds ofendless variations floating around in your head. And THEN you’ll be ready to start experimenting with your own style.

10) http://www.directtabs.com/ This is a well designed site. They also have online lessons.

There you have it, my top 10 picks. Hope it helps you get the computer and play more guitar!

Cheers,
