In this lesson you will combine the minor blues scale with the major pentatonic to get more notes when improvising over a jazz blues. When playing in a jazz blues style you want to dampen frequently with your left hand to get a more bouncy groove. You will also use a chord inversion for a jazzy sound.
This free lesson -- the seventh in a series from E-MU Education Ltd -- focuses on how to combine and mix scales in a jazz blues setting.
