Soloing Over I Chord Playing Blues Guitar

Okay. So saying that we've got the rhythm down of the blues. We've played the changes through a few times. We've even maybe recorded ourselves playing it. Okay, well how about soloing a bit. The blues is really nothing without some good tasting solos . So say we're in the key of A we're playing a blues starting on an A seven. Well if you recall, the mode that we would use here that would best outline this chord would be a mixed Alidia mode. Similar to the Madra but with a flat seventh to E. So, is someone's playing. We can use this mode to play in. We can use all of our note manipulations. So for now, just remember when you hear that A seven, that one seventh chord, you're going to play in that, starting on that base note. The mix Alidia. If it was B flat seven, you're going to play a B flat mix Alidia over it.
