I also have tons of lessons in my Neffmusic store on the blues scales and the 12 bar blues both for alto and tenor saxophone. Mastering the Blues Scale Volume 2-Dominant Chords There are tons of great sound lines and licks in these two books! There is slight variations in how you use this scale depending on the harmony behind it.ĬLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD –> 12-blues-scalesįor more information and licks using the blues scales check out my two books on Mastering the Blues Scales.
A blues scale- practice this over an A minor and a C Major chord. It’s good to practice each blues scale to it’s corresponding minor chord but also to it’s relative major chord. For example, if I’m using the A blues scale and play an Eb many times you will hear me resolve it to E or to D which in most cases are more pleasing notes to the ear. This is a great note because there’s tension to it but tension sounds best when you hear it resolve. Many student who are new to improvising will land on the #4 and just sit on it without resolving it. When I teach my students to use the blues scale I teach them to try to move off the #4 note quickly when playing. It’s just a sheet with all the 12 Blues Scales on it. Here’s a free sheet I give to all my students after they learn their major scales.
