In this free blues guitar lesson we will learn several licks that we can play over a chord progression in F. In the video we will use the audio backing track "F blues" which is Track 2 from the Let's Jam! Blues and Rock CD. This lesson is going give you several licks to play over this chord progression. These licks don't stay within one scale, but switch between Major and Minor Pentatonic as well as the blues scale. There are many ways to approach understanding these licks. I would start by memorizing them, then associating them with the scales mentioned above to make them easy to find and play in different keys.
