@DavidP
Only my opinion David but it is difficult enough to keep up with the existing number of options as to where to post this type of thing. Things disappear down the list so quickly now.
Even this reply of mine is padding out the Topic and making it more difficult to follow.

@sairfingers you are right, there are q uite a number of posts made daily, so something can easily get lost. Keep track and not missing replies does depend on how one sets up notifications.

I think it may be best for an individual learning the solo and posting for feedback to create a topic in AVOYP. It is probably where it is least likely to get lost. That said, once the person returns to post a later rendition, many may miss that if they donā€™t scan the replies.

Now I am rambling away in reply to you, without a helpful answer.

Iā€™ve run into an unexpected problem working on this solo (amidst all the expected ones).

When I try to bend the E up to F#, the note just dies when I go beyond a semi-tone. I can play a tone bend on the e string on the frets either side of the 12th, sounds fine. Just the bend at the 12th fret that is misbehaving.

I assume this is some kind of weird setup thing but perplexed given all is good on the other frets.

Any ideas?

Bump the gain up ? Not experienced that David with either 9s 9.5s or 10s.
Sorry. :cry:

Thatā€™s why I always recommend playing with more fx :slight_smile: more gain, more compression and sustain should do the trick. Alternatively crank up the amp and play your guitar to it to generate feedback, but this is an option not neighbour friendly :grinning:

Thanks for sharing some thoughts, guys. It is weird since it only happens on that one string at just that fret. I may try tuning down a semi-tone and playing it one fret up to avoid the 12th fret tone bend on the e string.

In his lesson Justin says this is a ā€œstandard kind of blues chord sequenceā€. IMHO itā€™s a bit more complicated than thatā€¦In Grade 6 if you want to play over the changes, you need to know the chords. Unfortunately I donā€™t subscribe to the tabs on JG so canā€™t check them out for accuracy. If anyone has the tab, Iā€™m wondering whether Justin tabbed the diminished chord.

The progression is almost identical to the John Mayall ā€œSomeday after a whileā€ that Peter Green did earlier in his career. Here I think the minors are replace by 7ths.

Hello Rory,

I dont have the Justin TABS anymore, but somewhat familiar with this tune. From memory, I think yes, he included the diminished on the IV chord. And heā€™d have to really as the diminished chord in this progression is central.
As far as being a standard progression, it is really I just a 145 at its core, but its an 8 bar blues, rather than a 12; and with the added sophistication of the diminished on the IV chord, and the vi -ii -V7- I when going to the V back to the I.

Cheers, Shane

Thanks Shane. Just trying to get my terminology right as I analyse this and that he hadnā€™t called it something like a min7b5ā€¦

I do subscribe to the tabs. Obviously itā€™s not right for me to say much, but I hope no one will object if I say he moves from the IV to the sharp IV dim 7 chord.

@rorystrat check out Justinā€™s lesson on Worried Life Blues. Itā€™s an 8 bar and he does a really goog job explaining the turnaround using the diminished chord to add color to the 145 progression.
