Blues Guitar Solos: 4 Note Solo
Here’s a video that shows how to play a blues guitar solo with only 4 easy to play notes. Yes, less really is more sometimes. This lesson from Blues Guitar Unleashed demonstrates an entire solo played with only four notes. You might think that it must sound pretty uninspiring, but you couldn’t be further from the truth, it sounds fantastic.
The lesson is in two parts. The first video shows the solo played at normal speed so you can hear how it sounds. The second video explains how to play the solo step by step.
If you are struggling to learn to play blues guitar solos then this is a lesson for you. I spent ages learning scales and positions to create blues guitar solos. But somehow, despite learning more positions, more notes, my solos didn’t sound right, hey didn’t sound blues enough to me.
This lesson opened my eyes to the fact that it’s not about how many notes or scale boxes you can play. A great blues guitar solo can be created with only a few notes.
