For more videos like this, visit www.activemelody.com. In this video Ill explain the concept of knowing how to play a blues lead guitar solo, and more importantly knowing when NOT to switch scales within the solo. A lot of people assume that you need to switch scales every time the chords switch in a song, but that isnt necessarily the case – this video explains how to stay within the scale of the song and learn some simple, repeatable licks.

    the turn around would usually be the 5th of the key…

    Nice lesson Brian, please could you answer this question I’ve got though – what is the turn around chord? Is it always the last chord before the main key is started again, e.g Am to F to C, would C be the turn around?

    I already know what you were teaching in this video, so I didn’t really need to watch you video. However, I enjoyed the way you did the video and ended up watching the hole thing. Excellent work! I also liked the way you talked while the jam track was playing, and went into licks as you were explaining it. I wish these type of videos were available when I first started!!

    Brian, Thanks for another execellent lesson. I experience the same issue as those emails that inspired this. Your example of how and whythat 5th chord scale fits is great (D, when in Key of G). I’ve been noticing (probably because you or someone else has discussed in another lesson) that it is crutial to know which notes in each of the 4th & 5th chords is best. Also where to start and resolve them makes a huge impact in understanding why "that" specific phrase at "this" point in the song.
