Blues Guitar Lessons for Beginners
With this Blues guitar lesson for beginners video, we'll take the next step closer to how to solo and improvise with Blues guitar by showing how to play classic blues riffs. We'll also show how to solo blues riffs with backing blues rhythm tracks in different keys. With guitar tabs and box pattern diagrams, we'll cover it all with a step by step approach.

Pentatonic Minor Scale
When it comes to soloing, the primary scale used in most Blues and Rock songs is the Pentatonic Minor scale. ‘Pentatonic Minor’ is the more official or ‘academic’ name of the scale, but most guitarists refer to it as simply the ‘Blues scale’. In order to learn how to solo and improvise with Blues and Rock, the first step will be to become familiar with playing the Pentatonic Minor scale in a box pattern form.

Classic Blues Riffs Guitar Lesson
A riff can be described as a sort of ‘musical sentence’, and in order to solo and improvise the Blues, a musical vocabulary needs to be developed by copying and memorizing a collection of standard classic Blues riffs. There
are many Blues riffs that have been passed on from generation to generation, and some of these classics Blues riffs will be presented in this lesson.

How to Bend Strings Blues Lesson
‘Thē Blues Riff’ introduces two new soloing techniques for playing the Blues: bending and vibrato. In guitar tab, a bend is notated with an arrow. Use the first, second, and third fingers together to push or bend the third string toward the bottom strings. The first and second fingers are additional support fingers for bending. Using multiple fingers prevents the string from slipping, and also produces better tone.

Blues Vibrato Technique Guitar Lesson
Vibrato is a combination of shaking and sustaining a note. With vibrato, there isn’t as much of a change in pitch as there is with bending a string. Use the second finger as an additional support finger, and make sure both the second and third fingers are arched for better tone.

Moveable Blues Box Patterns
The Pentatonic Minor box pattern is movable, meaning the same Blues riffs can be played along any fret position or key on guitar. All that needs to be known is the letter name of the bottom (sixth) string note that begins the box pattern to determine the key. The Pentatonic Minor pattern played along the fifth fret position is in the Key of ‘A Blues’ because the first note played (sixth string/fifth fret) is an ‘A’ note. Shifting the same blues box pattern up one fret is the Key of ‘A# Blues’. ‘A#’ & ‘Bb’ are two names or synonyms for the same note or key. If one guitarist says to play ‘Blues in B flat’, while another says to play ‘Blues in A sharp’, they are both asking for the same scale and key to be played.

Practice Blues Riffs in Different Keys
Once the ‘A’ Blues riffs can be played, the next step will be to play the blues riffs along different fret positions or keys. For example, playing the blues riffs along the first fret position (‘F’) will be a great exercise because the fretting fingers are required to stretch more to reach the frets. Playing the blues riffs along the ninth fret position (‘Db’) is also beneficial because the frets positioned closer together require more focus to get clarity from each note played.

How to Solo Blues Riffs with Backing Rhythm
