Do you have a request for a video lesson?

Actually, I believe the information in that link is incorrect. From what I've understood, what he shows there is in fact the Albert King box and not the B.B. King. In a related story, check out this Tom Kolb analysis of B.B. King from GuitarWorld.

How about the CAGED system?

Tim mentioned one of the pentatonic pattern that fits over an Em or a G major chord shape. There are 5 pentatonic patterns in the CAGED system where there are patterns for each of the five major or minor chord shapes and they are connected by their root points.

Hey Robert
What about some more blues riffs or songs like the rest of love struck by S.R.V and Electric version of Layla and acoustic by Eric Clapton, Gary Moore Still got the blues for you, yeah just some things to do with blues.
P.S Your dolphinstreet.com site rocks for free guitar lessons!

Many thanks

Robert,

I know that like myself you are a big fan of Charlie Parker. I also know you know at least a few of his melodies and riffs. I think a lesson with a handful of Bird's stuff would be a lot of fun, at least for me. Maybe it's because I re-read the Miles autobiography on the plane over Thanksgiving weekend, but I have the Bird & Miles "Blue Bird - Legendary Savoy Sessions" on repeat on my iPod, and I haven't been able to listen to much else lately. So any lesson you ever want to do on Bird, I'll be watching.

Good idea - I'll look at adding some Bird lessons when I get time (whenever that is ....) Thanks Roland.

How about something on the CAGED system. Maybe that could be of value to some folks.

Hi Robert, I have always wanted to learn how to play some of the licks on Eric Claptons Layla. I know you would be great on showing us all this one!!

Robert**** · January 30th, 2008, 06:01 PM

Layla, the "signature line/lick" of the song, or something else from that song?

**Vihar** · January 31st, 2008, 02:25 AM

I sure would like to see/hear you play some Steely Dan riffs/solo parts. Not just Reelin' or Charlemagne, but all the other guitarists' stuff too. Skunk on "My Old School" or Denny Dias on "Do It Again". These guys make it sound so easy, and sometimes it's hard to figure out what's going on.
Thinking a bit more about it; many of these '70s studio rock bands have intriguing stuff. Alan Parsons Project ("Eye In The Sky" solo...) or Christopher Cross ("Ride Like The Wind" outro by Eric Johnson if I remember correctly...). Just off the top of my head.

**Lev** · January 31st, 2008, 04:18 AM

wow, i didn't know Eric Johnson played on Ride Like the Wind... cool

**Vihar** · January 31st, 2008, 05:10 AM

Ok, I'm not sure about that anymore... I made a little research and it seems like Cross himself played the lead on that song. Johnson played the lead on the album's last song "Minstrel Gigolo" though.

Missed this earlier. Very nice! I like Tom Kolb stuff too. He did my very first guitar instructional vid which I still enjoy, with his Rod Stewart hair and all.

Hey Robert
What about some scales you can use for doing solos with, or scales to solo over blues?

Cheers
GREENMACHINE

Robert**** · February 1st, 2008, 01:33 PM

Thanks for feedback guys!

: I should have a new lesson soon about the fundamentals of scales and the chromatic scale.

**GREENMACHINE** · February 1st, 2008, 06:05 PM

Hey Robert
Awesome, I can't wait! You always make lessons fun and easy to understand.

Thanks again,
GREENMACHINE

Revisiting this old thread again, because I'm out of ideas for lessons. I tend to overcomplicate things, when I think about creating a new lesson.

However, it seems most people want to learn licks of certain famous players. I'm not really an expert at copying other people's licks, although I know some blues players pretty good.

How about a video lesson showing some ideas of how to play a 12 bar blues solo, using 3 or 4 notes only?

The difficult part is to make video lessons interesting for beginners as well as more experienced players.
