bluesguitarunleashed.com – Octaves are fun to use for soloing or for melodies. Theres a great Kenny Burrell song that SRV redid called Chitlins Con Carne which is a good demonstration of the technique. Wes Montgomery is also one of the most famous "octave guys." I hope you dig the sound and can have some fun with it.

  1. Cool. Thank you for making these videos!! Good teaching style, nice and straightforward. Thanks!

  2. Very nice as always Griff. Perhaps I missed it, but while your explanation is understood, I’ve always understood these as "Intervals" and such as a octave (8) being eight notes from the root, ie; eight from the root B is B, thirds is three from the root, thus three from B is D, 4th’s are four notes away, etc. Not trying to teach you so no disrepect, just thought this could help those viewers by giving another angle if I understand right what you are explaining here. Happy New Years
