Jazz Soloing Tip #2b - The Blues
Here I talk about the use of Mixolydian Scales when playing in the blues.
The progression is a very simple, stripped down blues progression...
|A7|A7|A7|A7|
|D7|D7|A7|A7|
|E7|E7|A7|A7|
The scales used...
Over A7 - A Mixolydian - A B C# D E F# G A
Over D7 - D Mixolydian - D E F# G A B C D
Over E7 - E Mixolydian - E F# G# A B C# D E
