I’m looking for some scales (besides pentatonic) that I can use to get a nice blues sound. I usually use pentatonic (sometimes adding the third in) and arpeggios like Gm7, Cm7, Dm7 etc. If anybody could give me some scales, arpeggios, licks, tricks/tips etc. that woul be great. I love John Mayers style of blues playing, and I also love Stevie Ray if that helps.

Hi, if you are playing straight ahead chicago electric blues the Blues Scale (1-b3-4-b5-5-b7-8) is your main man. What alot of dudes do, however, is play minor AND major licks in the same phrase. Eric Clapton really nailed this in his Cream days and its kind of become part of the lexicon, so to speak.

So, it’s nice because all you have to do is play your Blues scale 3 frets down from your Root note. So, if you are rocking in A, playing the blues scale on the 2nd fret (F#) will give your licks a nice major tonality without the cheesy major scale thing. What you want to do is to be able to shift between the major and minor effortlessly. SRV does this alot. Alot of guys use chromatics between the 2nd to the fourth for interest.

Alot of early blues has some weirdass stuff going on in it – like no chord progression, weird progressions, or plain ol’ jazz chords thrown in for no reason. I’d suggest listening to Son House for that weird old gospel stuff, he shows what you can do with just a good ol’ boogie riff and screaming about the Lord at the top of your voice and killing can do!

John Lee Hooker (the voodoo man) also plays a mean style of blues. Its chaotic and crazy but if you can pick up on that skip james thing he does where he hammers onto the A note (2nd fret on G string) you’ll be golden.

Finally, Model T-Ford is your man for groove.

Good luck.

What are some albums that just contain blues guitar solos with acoustics, and only a little bit of vocals? If there aren’t any albums, what are some songs?

Agreed – Jimi Hendrix ‘Blues’ album is awesome.

Stevie Ray Vaughan "Blues At Sunrise" is another great cd. It’s my favorite SRV collection of his slower blues tempo songs. Several of the songs were recorded live and range from 9 – 15 minutes long. Awesome stuff.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble – Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985 – 2 DVD set really shows how great he was. Highly recommended.

Eric Clapton Crossroads 2: Live In The Seventies [Box set, Live] is great. It’s a 4 cd set that contains some of his best live recordings. Eric Clapton is the man.

Eric Clapton: Crossroads Guitar Festival (2004) – 2 DVD set filmed at the Cottonbowl in Dallas showcases the finest living guitarists in the world. BB King, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, Carlos Santana, Robert Cray, JJ Cale, Robert Randolph, ZZ Top, and many others. Absolutely awesome stuff. My favorite concert dvd set with over 3 hours of music.

Check out the Youtube videos below for a couple of great segments from the Crossroads festival.
