PART III: BLUES/ROCK LE GUITAR
Can blues ope pay rock? Can oc people play bues Te answers lie only with you and your feelings about
mus. On one hand, e two syles nnue to infuene eah oher and gutar players lie Sevie Ray Vaughan
Johnny Winter Robert Cay and eve Buddy Guy a arry a torch or eah n the othe hand some payes
wll always be umd n one camp or he oter being as it is so hard o do both equay well And o ourseer's nohing wrong wi being "lumd-te styles wil aways oexist See Apndix I or an examination
o ter dstincons om musical orms to nuber of amps
You could say blues/rock guitar soos are like bues soos only payed aster louder and with a rock and roller's
phrasing ariulaions and attitude but hee is more to i than just that The deepseated easons for heir
divergene enompasses ators like isory ehnoogy and hangng tends and astes This part of he boo
am o exse the bare bones hat use the wo ogeher-he vertebrae ha make up e spine of blues/rock i
you will The songes oce is o curse the ntaoni mino scale (nd added notes) which will be deal wh
in exploed view' fashion Also of mrtance is the use o the naoni major and mixolydian sclesputfot in a contextual way
Te enaonic Minor Scale
Tis scale is �ihou uesion he oundaion beneat singeine playing in bluesoc The inteaic formua of
he fvenote sale is 1 �3 4 5 b7 (ie pentatoni A C D G) and has been around hundreds of yeas before
Chu Berry and he electri guita were bon The sae has is orgins in ancient Chinese and Indian fo
musi cear on the oter side o the word
is mran o undersand that no mae how muh you see a guiarst's e hand moe up and down the ne
when playing this sale only five noes ae being payed n oher wods ive eter names (ie A C D E G) ae
epeated by playing the same exact ptch on up o six diferen stings in six dieent paes on the nek or by
payng up o fou dieen ocaves o he five noes The en al o dierent sting goupings positions and
ingerings are ininite although ceain possibiities have emained most ommon amog an ene wod
pulation of guitar players
dscussed eaer the ntoni minor scale an be superimposed over a major key siaue and e mino
3rd the sae mixes with the oen head major 3d ound in he hords of a song n noating musi where is
ous the majo ey sgnaure is mananed despie how mino he musi may sound and adeas e us
where he blue notes like the 3 bS nd �7 are payed For example e ey o A is based on he A maor saewhich spells: A B D E R O A When he A penaoni minor scale is used (A C D E G) we mus ale o
C and Oto G

lapCapon's guia playing aree is as log and diversied as the line of giarists and musiians he has inened
Like e Bek, he was fonate ome o prominene at an eary age wih The Yadbirds while also in awe of
mean blues Moe han a blues b Eri was a selfpofessed blus snob" and was quoed as saying If i
wasnt blak I wasn ineesed. This attitude of his fomative yeas had kept he bues close o his heat despite
he many sages his musial life has seen s feaed guitaist with John Mayas Bluesbreakers and shotyaeads he guitaplaying third of blues/ok supergroup Ceam Ei Capton is unquestionably a undng
fathe of the blues/ok sound
Ei style is at one sonal and unvesal Not withou a heathy suppy of hops Capon is well knwn for
his eseedness and endeny towads simpliity as a solois. His soos ae disingished by a foundation o
balae, auhoiy and staeiness Generally, Capton favoed Les Paus during his Bluesbeake period
Fiebids, 335s and SOs wi Ceam and Staoases pstCeam
This soo is payed over a vamp in E, wih a iplet eel a la Cream. The E penaoni minor (E G A B D) oms
ange om I in open position o I and I an oave higher at the 12th fe and above and his sale is he mpesbehind the solo Ei has ong been a maste of combining and balaning he moods of penatoni mio and
mao. Look fo he phases tha use E penatoni majo (E F G B i.e bars 10, 14 9 and 20) along with E
natoni mino is abiiy o play phases tha swing om major to minor in a natural and lyrial way is one
of his stonge�t ademaks Anohe Eri Clapton rai is the seamlessness o position hanges hat urthe
omplent the smoohness of his phrsing: hek ou bars 5 hough 22 for evidene of tis. Duing hi Cream
days, Ei affetionaely named the sound hat ous when al he one is roled o of the hyhm pikup
woman oneand has sine become a pat of the guita payes veauar This sound is head in bas 19
though 2 he solo ends with a smokng penaoni mino ik with pus and hammes tha ae haateisi o
Clapon's faste, legao playing: 3 slured notes foowed by a piked nte in suession. He has been known obegin his noe idea fom other inteas o he sale suh as he oo 3rd r 7h-his one begins on the 5h.

ed to classic rock songs His ack for paying solos hat drive a song by way of doubesops and simple
ntatonc lines n a worker-ee style (ofen reminiscent of egend Chuk Bery) conrasted with he more
indvidaistic soos of Mick ayor, who was busy filling Eric Claptons shoes in John Maya's Bluesbreakers
in 1969 when he was invited to be a Sone Micks paying is indeed in he tradition of he od and aggressive
