The blue notes are the \u201cblues\u201d notes of the scale. These blues notes contain a lot of tension (dissonance) and should not be held for extended periods. They are usually played in passing.<\/p>\n<p>Play slowly and evenly, all downstrokes to begin with, later after your left hand is familiar with the shape of this scale, start to alternate pick the scale.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/b3ae8-abluesscaleextended2-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-96\" title=\"Abluesscaleextended#2\" src=\"https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/b3ae8-abluesscaleextended2-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/b3ae8-abluesscaleextended2-6.jpg 365w, https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/b3ae8-abluesscaleextended2-6-300x136.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Play the scale and 3 licks as written in the tab:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/11728-ext2blueslicks1-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97\" title=\"Ext#2blueslicks1\" src=\"https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/11728-ext2blueslicks1-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"766\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/11728-ext2blueslicks1-6.jpg 766w, https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/11728-ext2blueslicks1-6-300x219.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/634da-ext2blueslicks2-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-98\" title=\"Ext#2blueslicks2\" src=\"https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/634da-ext2blueslicks2-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"765\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/634da-ext2blueslicks2-6.jpg 765w, https:\/\/uptempomusiclessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/634da-ext2blueslicks2-6-300x127.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is the video I made so you can see and hear how to play the scale and licks:<\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ob1NgCvYqn4&#038;w=560&#038;h=315]<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have fun and check in next week for some rhythm ideas to play your new licks over. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extended blues scale 2 + 3 licks This week we are dealing with the second of the 2 extended blues scales in the key of A.
