EXAMPLE5 CHROMATICISM AND SUBSTITUTIONS

CD TRACK 24

We really opened Pandora’s Box by asking Josh to demonstrate how he fuses these jazz ideas into his blues playing. Citing players like Robben Ford, he delivers a full 12-bar tour de force outlining how a basic blues can be transformed into a far richer landscape by employing chromatic ideas and substitutions. Perhaps not for the faint-hearted, but working though it slowly will add some very tasty lines to your blues arsenal.
