FULL COURSE, TAB, JAM TRACKS: truefire.at More free guitar lessons: bit.ly TF on Twitter: www.twitter.com TF on Facebook: www.truefire.com In this video well take many of the techniques and approaches that weve been discussing in this section and apply them over the rhythm track. Youll hear lines that lead the changes, repeated and imitated phrases, and a few examples of melodic minor when the rhythm part uses that half-step slide into the IV chord (see the previous clip for details). Youll also catch chromatic phrases, big slides, pedal tones, and a few different ways to incorporate chromatics and dynamics. Use the notation and follow me through this blues improvisation. Then grab your guitar, and play over the rhythm track to explore and apply the principles yourself. Have fun on this one!

  1. Great Master Larry…thank you for your dedicated time.

  2. I’m more into intervals and arpeggios. You still have to love Larry’s taste and expressiveness, though.

  3. ‘Scuse me while I write this down…
    (In other words: Thanks)

  4. Mr Super Smooth – the Marvin Gaye/Sam Cooke/Bobby Bland of the guitar

  5. An absolute delight to watch. I can’t believe I’m watching this for free. Really appreciate what these guys are doing.

  6. Check out the "Tony Martin Group" on Youtube if you love great feeling and tone, he is awesome 😉

  7. @paulbrownAD sorry, I m not sure I follow how F7 to B7 is a V-I. I think you meant to write that it was a tritone sub. Also, the ‘old school’ approach to V7(alt.) was/is a min melodic half step up, there are actually quite a few approaches other than that, even, in the old school. Im sure you meant that, instead. =)

  8. have you got the original link for the backing track? Great stuff, so simple and so effective.

  9. You can keep your shredders and technique freaks, Larry has SO much soul.

  10. Hey kentano 2000, thanks for the post, you’re totally right I did mean Fsharp7-sorry folks

  11. gracias maestro ! !!!!!! from argentinamuchos saludos !!! abrazos nicolovi !!!

  12. F7 to B7 can be seen as a V-I resolution even though you going to the IV, and Larry is hinting at an altered V chord. The old school way of playing over any altered V chord would be to play a major scale up a half tone, so play G major scale over F7alt. then just lower the third and you get a melodic minor scale that sounds much hipper than playing the major.
