    B.B. King's Mixolydian Blues

    B.B., one of the few bluesmen to establish himself as a household name, uses the Mixolydian mode (think of it as a major scale with a flat 7th) as a primary ingredient in his influential solo work. Magic things happen when you blend the Mixolydian with the minor pentatonic allowing you to shift between sweet and dark sounds. Dave demonstrates this mind-expanding concept through a B.B. solo. This lesson includes Power Tab and is featured on the following CD compilations: BLUES U, LICK-A-DAY: 365 Daily Doses

    Guest Guru: Robben Ford's Universal Groove

    With his stinging, soulful solos and flawless pocket, Robben Ford has an uncanny knack for making complex music seem simple. Conversely, the guitarist can elevate a mundane one-chord vamp into something divine. Perhaps this is because Ford has successfully tackled so many genres. What has Ford learned from all of his musical adventures? “We’re all playing the same things,” he says. To prove that common threads abound in music, Ford will take a I-VI-II-V progression and show that whether it’s played with a doo-wop group’s simplicity or a bebop pianist’s extended chords and slick substitutions, the underlying vibe is the same—just one more universal phrase in the language of music. This lesson includes Power Tab and is featured on the following CD compilations: JAZZ U, BLUES U, TWANG U.
