Hey Aaron…it’s Wayne from Mobile, the old lawyer guy. I was studying your scale patterns but can’t get the Blues scale video to play. I get the Major scale and then the Expanded Blues scale, but not the other. What am I missing here.

hey man. thanks so much for your compliments. As i will be adding more lessons on this, I may have a few lessons already that will help you. Check out all the lessons in the “Building Solos” series in Lead Guitar. These lessons show you how to use the scale to create a solo, then play live to a practice track. This should at least get you started. Let me know how it goes for you.

Aaron, yours are the first multipurpose lessons I’ve found useful enough to comment on. Your approach allows people to do a lot more than just learn some lick off of youtube that they’ll never really apply. Speaking of multipurpose licks, I was wondering if you could offer a lesson or two on playing or creating riffs from scales/patterns while avoiding the nasty habit of just playing, note-by-note, up or down the scales. You caution against that in your lessons, but I find that–though I’ve been playing for years and know the scales and modes well–even when I try to mix the order of notes up in a given scale to create my own runs, it still somehow sounds like just that: single notes of a scale, mildly re-arranged. In this video, for instance, you do some runs of the kind I’m looking for around 1:24, 2:18 and elsewhere. Maybe what I’m asking for is too hard to explain or too innate, but maybe you’ve also learned a few tricks along the way to get over the hump I’m talking about. Thanks for all the vids!
