FUNKY JAZZ-BLUES SOLO ...CONTINUED

-

This is a level 3 solo with a funky blues feel (used by lots of artists like George Benson, Ronnie Jordan and Pat Martino), which also has shades of country blues in its hybrid picking and use of 6ths. Each chord is negotiated by its own Mixolydian scale but these are peppered with the use of b3 (and occasional major 7ths and flat 5ths), which is an essential stylistic technique. i’ve gone for a more double-stop approach here, which shows how the scales relate to the underling chords, as well as informing rhythm ideas using this level.
