„Larry goes "back to the roots"
and gets down "to the bare basics" in this video lesson
that demonstrates the early influences of Larry's blues-jazz evolution.
He begins with the blues guitar techniques of T-Bone Walker and
then to the two "Kings" (B.B. and Albert). This is followed
by the more sophisticated blues/jazz realm of Wes Montgomery.
The lesson finishes with some non-guitar but equally important
blues influences from the legendary Miles Davis. This video lesson
defines the progressive advance of the blues from downhome to
urban to the mystical.
*Specifics covered in this lesson are:
„The pentatonic scale and intervals
„A transcription of a blues tribute to T-Bone Walker
„Bending notes in the styles of B.B. King and Albert King@
„Wes Montgomery's D Natural Blues
„Miles Davis's All Blues with modern "jazz minor" scales
that take the music from the bare basics to the more complex altered
changes.
