Liked on YouTube: The Minor Blues Scale- and how the fiddle player can use it.

The Minor Blues Scale- and how the fiddle player can use it.
In this fiddle lesson I explain and demonstrate the minor blues scale. I show how it is based on the minor pentatonic, and how it relates to the major blues scale. Using different music genres (blues, southern rock, bluegrass, smooth jazz, and minor funk) I demonstrate how the fiddle can make the most of this scale, I show the single octave of the scale, all of the notes within first position, and how to use it in upper positions, even in the most difficult keys. ____________________________________________ Want to help support my channel? https://www.patreon.com/thefiddlechan...​ _______________________________________________ To learn more about jazz violin, see my books "Exploring jazz violin" and "Beginning jazz violin" published by Schott To look at or buy these and my other books, go to bit.ly/31ZWmgm ______________________________ Exploring Jazz Violin USA https://amzn.to/3i3qPPM​​ UK https://amzn.to/2HjUpnt​​ Beginning Jazz Violin USA https://amzn.to/3cr5Cy2​​ UK https://amzn.to/3crqEwy​​ Exploring Folk Fiddle USA https://amzn.to/32YFUhc​​ UK https://amzn.to/33ZpxR1​​ Discovering Rock Violin USA https://amzn.to/3kONQHV​​ UK https://amzn.to/2RY88Tb​​ Exploring Klezmer Fiddle USA https://amzn.to/32ZgYXd​​ UK https://amzn.to/3mRKdCX​​ French Fiddle Tunes USA https://amzn.to/330NeJa​​ UK https://amzn.to/363850D​​ Hungarian Fiddle Tunes USA https://amzn.to/32Xu7ji​​ UK https://amzn.to/33YnsEO​​ _________________________________________________ I have three sets of professional subscription online videos Exploring Jazz Violin, produced by MusicGurus https://bit.ly/3iVwt7p​​ More about my jazz violin course on Musicgurus: It comes in two parts, each including 26 short lessons.
