Our next two jams will be at 12 bar blues in the key of B and this is going to have a funkier feels, so let us go check out the first of these two jams.
All right, so let us take a look at our first run here. This is in the key of B. We are going to be combining the B minor blue scale. It is a major pentatonic. We are going to end up with a little bit of chromaticism in there when we combine these two scales. The first run sounds like this.
So, I am starting off by bending from the 10th of the B string, up a full step and then grabbing the seventh fret of the high E string. Put it back down with your first finger to the seventh fret of the B string and then pull off from ten to seven on the B. Pull off from nine to seven on the B, grab nine on the G string and then back to seven on the B string. Here comes the blue scale of ten, nine, seven on the G string. A little bit here with the third finger, ninth fret on the D string, G string and D string. Hammer on from seven to eight on the G string, seven to nine on the B string, grab the root note as your B on the seventh fret of the high E string and then we are going to slide into the note B. So we are going to slide from 10 to 12 on the B string.
Our next run is very similar. It is kind of like an answer to that first run. It sounds like this. Okay, so much of it is the same. We start off with that same bend on the B string 10th fret, end up a full step and then grab the seventh fret of the high E string, seven B, 10, seven, nine, seven, nine on the G, seven on the B, ten, nine, seven on the G string, ninth fret on the D, G, D string, hammer on from seven to eight on the G string, nine, seven, nine on the D, hammer on from seven to eight on the G string and then we finally land on the root note B found in the ninth fret of the D string.
Okay, so that takes us to the first four bars of these 12 bar blues. Here is what we are going to do for bars five through eight. Here is the next run, one, two, three, four. We got some bending here. We are going to start up by bending up a full step on the 12th fret of the high E string and then we are going to come back down and grab the 12th fret of the high E after the bend. Now quickly, we are going to have this little stinging effect. We are going to play the 10th fret of the high E back to the 12th fret of the B. Now, we are going to the 11th fret of the G string, 10 to 12 on the B, bend 12 on the high E, come back down to 10 on the high E and grab 12 on the B string. Hence so far, we have done this.
Okay, continue along, we are going to play this phrase. So, we are going to start off 11 on the G, 10 to 12 on the B, 15 on the B. Now, we are going to do a bend before we strike the notes. We are going to bend a full step on the 15th fret of the B string and then we are going to strike the 15th fret of the B string and bend up two full steps, come back down. Following this, we are going to play 12 on the B, 13 G, and back to the 12 fret of the B string with two hits here.
Now, we are going to the 14th fret of the high E string and bend up a step and a half. Come back down. After we come back down and play the 14th fret of the high E, then we are going to play 13 on the high E, slight bend on the 10th fret of the high E string and then we are going to end this run by playing 12, 10, 12 on the B.
Our final run of this solo will take us through the final four bars, bars nine through 12 and sounds like this, one, two, three, four. We are going to start off by playing 12 on a high E string two times and then come back to 10 on the high E string and we are going to repeat this phrase three times. As a common idea in blue solo, it is to repeat it yourself then. Even if you are planning something that is not so great, if you repeat it your self, everybody will think that you have meant to do it so, replay that same phrase three times. Following this, we are going to come back down into the seventh position, seven to nine on the B string, seven on the high E, nine on the B, pull off ten to seven on the high E, nine on the B, seven on the E, nine, seven on the B, nine on the G, hammer on from seven to eight on the G and then grab nine on the D string.
Finally, we are going to end up with the turn around, it will sound like this. So coming from the root note B on the ninth fret of the D string, we are going to hammer on seven, eight on the G. Strike that eight fret one extra time. Two hits on the ninth fret of the G. Two hits on the 10th fret of the G, seven on the B, nine on the G. Hammer on to seven to eight and then we are going to play F sharp on the ninth fret of the A string because we are going to end this whole 12 bar phrase on a F sharp chord. So, we are just going to play the root note of the chord that we end on.
So, once again here is our final run of this solo, one, two, three, four. All right, and there is jam number five.
