In deep trouble

Important…or even critical! How Chords Are Made. Understanding how chords are made is a very critical part of understanding how to play the blues. In this video Nate take’s a look at how major chords are made. In order to understand this you will need to be familiar with your major scale. If you are not familiar with your major scale don’t worry, he covers that too!



If you enjoyed this then you’ll definitely want to check out the full course. Here’s full details on Nate’s Blues Guitar Blueprint here.

I’m In Deep Trouble…

OK I’ll probably be in deep trouble unless I stop giving away Nate’s cool Blues lessons! Actually he’s got a fair point :) I guess you know by now if his Blues Guitar Blueprint is right for you.

So, this is the last lesson…

Creating Major Scales

Now this really is crucial stuff, so take notes. There’s a complete workbook with all Nate’s lesson, but he wouldn’t let me give you that for free as well!

In order to build a blues scale you first need to learn how to build a major scale. The major scale is simply a series of whole-steps and half-steps.

The series of whole-steps and half-steps that you need in order to create any major scale is “whole-step, whole-step, half-step, whole-step, whole-step, whole-step, half-step”. That works out to two whole-steps, one half-step, three whole-steps and one more half-step. It may seem be a bit difficult to remember this formula for the major scale so I always think “WWHWWWH”. Check it out…

    Without the building blocks of how scale or chord is constructed ,you will always have to refer to a scale/chords book. You have provided in simple terms the formula so you wont be stuck in the future. Well done ,that man. Yeah !!

Today we're looking at Power Chords and the classic JJ Cale song Cocaine. Although this is very much more in the style of the Eric Clapton version.

Sad news................"The Father of Loud" Jim Marshall, the founder of Marshall amps, died today aged 88. Slash tweeted "The news of Jim Marshall passing is deeply saddening. R & R will never be the same w/out him. But, his amps will live on FOREVER!"

I say, set up yer stack and rock heaven 'till it shakes.

That man defined the heavy rock guitar sound.
