Members DerekDRP Posted October 12, 2005 Author Members Posted October 12, 2005 Originally posted by FreestyleIntruder Not sure I know what you're asking... just want a blue's riff with the quarter note'. In music sheet style and not tab's That's all.
Members Gruven Posted October 12, 2005 Members Posted October 12, 2005 IMO playing Blues is more of a theory and feel exercise than anything. Ask your teacher to help you with chord theory by teaching you the Major scale in numbers and how this applies to the way a chord (piano/guitar...) is put together. This will help you with all styles of music. You'll be able to improvise your own lines. Blues players aren't sight reading (for the most part). Learning riffs only teaches your fingers to move.

Members Fran da Man Posted October 12, 2005 Members Posted October 12, 2005 No!!!after the pinky on G just lift it a little and move your whole hand up to place your pinky on A

Members bassman1956 Posted October 12, 2005 Members Posted October 12, 2005 Try this: Excellent lines. Has it written in the bass clef, as well as fingerings (not full tab), and a play-along CD. By far, one of the best play-along book-and-CD packages I've tried. Starts with a few pages in simple 4/4 time.

Btw if my teacher is teaching me to use my pinky on the e string G note? then what finger do I use on the E string A note? Start s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g your hand! Index on the F, middle on the G and reach the pinky to the A. It'll seem akward at first but the more you do it the more your hand will get used to stretching, and the quicker you'll get.
Members Moody Johnny Posted October 12, 2005 Members Posted October 12, 2005 I can't remember where, but I once found charts like this: You could save that pic, print it out, and show it to your teacher so that he can point out (for example, by circling) the root notes on each formation. I know, this is closer to tabs, and conflicts with your desire to learn sheet music. But the actual fret number or actual note names are not given. So that allows you to explore the notes of blues scale no matter where the root note (the name of key) is located on the fretboard. I hope I'm not confusing you too much by giving too much info and freedom. But at least save the pic for latter use, maybe you'll have a brainstorm with it some day.

Hey sludge, aren't you the one with the like 7 fret spread? was that you that posted your spread awhile back and i replied you don't have hands you have Baseball Mitts?

It may have been, I posted on a thread quite awhile ago about how many frets people could reach or something to that effect. Stretching certainly helps when you play 35" scale basses which both my primary basses are now. I've held a Quake bass in my hands one time.....now that takes a stretch!
