Too many guitarist get trapped inside “the box”, which is to say the blues scale shape. In this Sliding Blues Scale lesson I’ll show you how to break free and find your creativity again.<\/p>\n

Every scale, including the blues (or Pentatonic) scale connects all over the entire neck. And like everything else in life, it can get boring if you’re doing the same thing over and over.<\/p>\n

\"Sliding<\/p>\n

This sliding blues scale I’m going to teach you can be played in any key. And by learning it you can start to experiment with traveling around the neck soloing. This will give you more variety and lead to more experimentation. All you have to do is use the RED dot as the reference note. It is the ROOT note of any given scale you are playing.<\/p>\n

Check it out!<\/h1>\n

In this example, instead of playing the same ol blues scale in A.\u00a0 This sliding scale will start on the third fret of the low E string.

Another example<\/strong>
\nLet’s say you wanted to play a sliding blues scale in the key of B. Then this pattern would start on the 5th fret on the Low E string, but its ROOT, would be B (7th fret). Just like the Blues scale, you can move it around anywhere you want, as long as you stay mindful of its root note.<\/p>\n
