I show you the musical motifs in detail and with the proper timing. That way you understand how you can variate them in a easy way by just making variations on the timing signature. If you want to play the Jack by ACDC exactly the way as it played just listen to the original song and adapt the chords and the chord riff you learned here to the chords which are used there. But they are more or less the same and the riff is a very common blues riff which got famous by the song of AC DC.

Chords 2:10 Here are the courts displayed which are used in this Advanced Slow Blues. A7 / A7 / D7 / D#dim A7 F#m7 / B7 E7 / A7 D7 / A7 E7 Viewing those chords you notice that is not a usual Blues form it's more a mix between jazz blues and a simple Blues. We have to turnaround in this Blues one works on a 1-6 2-5 progression and the other one is normal Slow Blues turnaround with 1-4-1-5. Easy Lead Guitar 6:27 For the soloing we are using the a blues scale and a mix between the A minor pentatonic and the A major pentatonic.

You can play the a blues scale on the over the entire blues form but think this is a very slow Blues we need to make it sound more interesting by using the other scale which is a mixture. you was the mixed scale on the chords D7 D# dim and on the turn around where the F#m and F#7 B7 shows up. To do this you need to know the form by heart and hear when the chords are coming. So The challenge on this advanced Blues is not the technical part since we're playing only few notes but it's to know exactly when which chord comes and when to play which notes which refers to the current chord. easy advanced slow blues concept.pdf easy advanced slow blues concept.gp Slow Blues A 50.mp3
