Hi everyone.
Another session of Vintage Club is coming soon.
And - hooray - it is a rerun of Vintage Club #18 (which suffered some catastrophic technical problems).
Join Richard and explore using triads as a simple step to playing target notes when improvising over a 12-bar blues. This session will be accessible to students from Grade 2 (you need to know pattern 1 of the A minor pentatonic scale) to more advanced players with some improvisation skills. Remember to check out the advance preparation materials. Don’t miss out, join us for some triad fun.
Please sign up to join here.
Note - it is currently listed as #19 but check the date and time - Monday 07 October at 7pm UTC +1.
The main focus of the session is using minor triads in a minor blues setting, to give focus and target chord tones when playing and improvising over a 12-bar blues in the key of A minor.
A pdf preview with printable diagrams is available to download.
Advance preparation and knowledge summary. You should
- be familiar with finding and playing Am, Dm and Em triads on the G, B & E strings between frets 5 and 9. For a deeper dive into triads see the archive resources for Vintage Clubs #9 and #12.
- know how to play Pattern 1 of the A Minor Pentatonic Scale. See any of these lessons - JustinGuitar Grade 2 Module 12 or JustinGuitar Grade 2 Module 13 or JustinGuitar Grade 4 Blues Lead 1.
- An optional extra is to know the extended A Minor Pentatonic Pattern 1.
I look forward to seeing you all there and banishing the tech gremlins.
