  • Hi GMC!

    Welcome to this new blues lesson! I’ve called this one Bluespower Licks, inspired by the blues rock guitarist Jared James Nichols born in 1989 in Wiscosin. That’s the name he uses to describe his playing and music.

    Here you'll find a blues rock solo over a backing in E which shows some his most used phrases and concepts:

    - Blues rock phrasing.
    - Combining minor, major pentatonics, blues scale y Mixolydian mode.
    - Use of blues scale.
    - Dynamics.
    - Different bending types.
    - Double stops.
    - Hybrid Picking

    Let’s get into some slow blues rock!


    Sound:
    I used Fractal Ax8's Suhr Badger 30, Cubase 10.5 to record audio and midi, Superior Drummer 3 for drums.

    These are my settings:
