Thanks James T......

The powertab thing is a transcription of the first part of the Summertime Dirty vid clip on my site.

Hope these "lessons" are helpful.

Great site - just registered here.

can anyone give me a couple of examples of how I might apply some of scott's sub ideasa to say a major or minor blues ?

I'm just beginning to get my jazz chops together moving from Rock and blues into jazz

It was listening to Robben led me this way.

PS : Scott has been a great inspiration to me while building my ODS style amp - great guy and a great player too.

TIA

Pete

Dimished triads and da blues...

Key of A

On the A7 - you can play C# dim (major 3rd Mixo sound) F# dim (minor 3rd blues sound)

On the D7 - F# dim

On the E7 - G# dim

Now you can also play these a half step up from the root to get b9s. So play Bb dim going from the 1 chord A7 to the 4 chord D7 or F dim on the 5 chord E7 going back to one.

Scott will also play II Vs going the IV chord. So that would be E-7 A7 to D7. Play an F# major triad on that A7 going to D. Scotty does that all the time....or play G triad to F# triad to the D7....

There's a start.......

I really appreciated and enjoyed those suggestions - please keep 'em coming. I feel my playing is just about as stale as it gets and I could could certainly do with some fresh ideas. I always felt this part of the forum was being neglected so it's good to see this sort of input here. Thanks Kirk (and Scott, too)!!!
