Playing over the changes with minor pentatonic:
Learn how to play minor blues. Mainly using Am pentatonic scale.
This lesson is aimed at the beginner, so the licks are not too fast, and generally easy to learn. Techniques include bending, vibrato, slides and double stops. Intermediate lesson now available.
*** Please note: The performance has a couple of extra notes here and there, particularly between the licks. When I filmed this I didn’t even realise I did it. The licks in the lesson part are what I intended to play, but In the perfomance I was playing with some ‘feel’ so a couple of passing notes slip in here and there. My excuse is that I never play anything exactly the same way twice, and making these videos is tough to work the cameras, the computer, the lighting, the backing track, the amp and then put in a good performance too! It looks like a few extra notes from the Am pentatonic scale. ***
Email me at marcellison75@gmail.com and I’ll send you the tab for the solo, including the ‘extra’ notes.

Peter. This bloke is the best. His lessons are easy to follow and the most fun to play. It is so inexpensive at $5.00 per month and you will improve quickly. If I can do it anybody can. Whats more he sounds like a Beatle, so he must be great. He is!
Love this lesson Marc, lots of useful takeaways here, do you have any similar lessons in the key of B minor?….thank you
In the solo between licks 5 and 6 is he has playing another lick not in the step by step. Threw me off for a while when trying to learn it. I love the format, Gotta keep working on this one, I love it.
Mark your amazing. I love your style and playing truly a guitar god
nice
thank you so much, greetings from Egypt
My first blues solo. Thanks a lot.
Good stuff! Thank you so much!
Gracias, señor que subió el video hace una década. I love you so much
Wow, never saw this one before. Great luck to learn with my brand new strat I'm getting tomorrow. I appreciate your videos. Small bites at a time.
Started my love for guitar playing late in life. A living room musician. My wife and kids enjoy what I do and I put this lick on for em with the backing track and my kids started to dance. Got a sub from me. Cheers from USA
Thank you for sharing this video. Your breakdown and demonstration of the licks has been massively helpful to me. I've learned to organize them and even freestyle a little without it sounding random. Glad I found your channel.
Very nice
Dear Marc! I just came across your video while looking for some simple licks to play with a backing track in the key of C or Am. Your video and lesson were exactly what I was looking for as a beginning guitarist! Nice sounding licks that are easy to memorize. Thanks!
Really helpful video, thanks.
Thanks so much for this Marc. It is exactly what I was looking for. Learning licks 1 and 2 today. New sub here. ????????
Very good! I'm strarting to play the blues, and this guy and this lesson! For the first time ever I felt my own person connection with the style structure! Thank you so much! As simple as this may be, this was a life changing experience!
Desde España. Súper bien explicado. Gran vídeo
Hola Marc, me llamo Sergio y soy de Cuernavaca, no entiendo por qué el lick 9 termina en la nota B, que no pertenece a la escala.
THANK You BRO; ????
Awesome!
Thank you very much for this! Already learned the whole thing and I'm starting to add the different licks to my impro. Endless fun doing different adaptations and combinations????????????
Great lesson. Great sounding licks. Taught by a scouser. Awesome.
hello buddy, your way of playing the blues is extraordinary, I am Sami from Morocco, and I would like to learn the blues. thank you for being my teacher.
Thank you. Excellent teaching method.
thanks from Brazil!
I love your lesson method. Being a rookie I feel I am making great strides and having fun at the same time.
Lick 2 has a rhythm of about 300 BPM. Any suggestion on how I can improve my accuracy and develop the speed necessary to pull it off.?
Excellent lesson – thanks so much
I found this channel by accident yesterday. This is great stuff. Nothing like it on YT in terms of learning improvisation. I’m probably intermediate playing by reading Tab but when it comes to improv I’m lost. This will be a big help. What a find!
