This time I am showing you more must see blues techniques to take the expression of your soloing to another level.<\/p>\n

These are the techniques that blues masters like Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King etc. use to make their solos have so much feeling.<\/p>\n

So without further adieu here is part 2 of Blues Soloing Techniques with video to follow below:<\/p>\n

5. Bends<\/p>\n

This technique involves pushing a string up or down to create a new pitch.\u00a0 It has a very vocal like quality and is a staple technique of every single blues guitarist.\u00a0 It does involve very specific hand positioning<\/p>\n

so please check out the video below for more detail.<\/p>\n

Here is an example:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>6. Vibrato<\/p>\n

Vibrato is another technique that adds a very vocal quality to our playing.\u00a0 There are different ways to attain a vibrato and I go through a few of them in the video at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n

My personal favorite vibrato is striking a note, bending it up a whole step and then adding the vibrato after a second.\u00a0 Santana and other guitarists are famous for this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>7. Chords<\/p>\n

This technique involves playing 3 or more not chords over the progression. It has a very organ like effect if used correctly and does involve some theory to know what works.<\/p>\n

Below I have tabbed out the mixolydian harmony that is used over G dominant 7 chords.\u00a0 Experiment with these until you come up with some cool stuff.<\/p>\n
