Try your best Ernest Ranglin jazzy-blues licks over jam track #4
NICKY J. SIMS/REDFERNS
➊ Slow Blues (C)
We start with a simple slow blues in C, where C Minor Pentatonic (C-Eb-F-G-Bb) and the C Major Pentatonic scale (C-D-E-G-A) are great places to begin. Dig in to milk the notes and tone!
➋ G MixolydianVamp
This jam is a simple two-chord vamp (G-F), exploring Mixolydian mode in the context of a bluesy trip-hop vibe. Aside from the obvious G Mixolydian (G-A-B-C-D-E-F), I recommend G Minor Pentatonic (G-Bb-C-D-F) and also G Major Pentatonic (G-A-B-D-E) to produce an uplifting Major key feel.
