Soloing Over V Chord Playing Blues Guitar

Video Transcript

Okay, so now we know that in the twelve bar blues when we see a one seven we're going to be playing the Mixolydian in one position, in the position around the root note, starting on E, or on the E string. Okay? If we want to stay in that same vicinity when we go to Dorian when we go to the four seven chord we go to the Dorian mode. Now what about the five seven chord? Well this is neat. So, say we're playing, we're playing the blues in A, right? Remember our five seven will be here. Let's move that up an octave, to the seventh fret. Now remember, whenever we had a five seven chord you always inevitably wanted to lead to a major chord one string up on the same fret line. Well, low and behold that would be an octave away from A. So, basically what I'm saying is we can play a major scale which will represent the five seven chord in that same vicinity. Now lets look at that if we're in B flat. So it's not just relegated to A. If we were playing a blues in B flat, when we played that five seven here, the F. We could play in our solo a major scale. So look, our one, seven, say in B flat. We're using our Mixolydian. Four we're using Dorian. Now we've got our five seven. We're going to use major. And then back to the four, Dorian. It's all about the tensions in Jazz and Blues. And then one, seven back to the Mixolydian.
