Duane’s solo is terrific but it’s Dickey Betts’ solo-after Gregg’s B-3 solo-that really brings that blues home. Room to breathe, great dynamics, classic licks.

@@oceantree5000 I think Duane’s playing was more unique, also more incendiary-capable of bringing the band and crowd to a higher level emotionally and, possibly, spiritually. But Dickey was more grounded in classic blues and definitely country. His solo in Stormy Monday is just a classic. Duane said, “I may be the more famous guitar player in the band, but I’m not the best.” I’ve said it so many times: No Dickey Betts, no Allman Brothers Band.

I came across this learning the bb box. I always go by sound, but cadence and note duration work hand in hand with sound. I like Robbens blues playing. But it was his jazz riffs from the yellowjackets and jing chi that blow me away. Like most greats I can recognize his diction in 2 notes. For his incredible early work check out “imperial strut” and in the same vein , Tommy Bolin on spectrum with Billy Cobham . Two incredibly unique players.

Agreed. A good example is Led Zeppelin What is and What Should Never Be - and the the rotation between E7 and A13 (highlighting the 2nd in E as the major 6th in A) - Bb box.

Nice! Personally if I'm playing rock "in the key of G" - I'll probably be hitting your note on the B string "E" with bends. But if I'm playing pop "in that same position"- I'll probably be hitting the "Eb" note" and it may actually be in the key of "Bb". It depends on the chord progression and melody "for me". I've kind of blended about 4 scales together and adjust according to what sounds good.
@MarkZabel

Thanks! Yep. I don't really play scales much any more. I do play out of chords though, as it sounds like you do. I try to get ideas of melodies from chords or moving between chords. Or of course, imitating a singer's melody. Most players will relate to scales, often the minor pentatonic. One thing that's lovely about the 6th is that it's the 3rd of the 4 chord in the blues. So it'll sound jazzy over the 1 chord, but feel perfect for the 4 chord.

Very nice lesson! I would add that the 6th of A is the 3rd of D, and this is very important in blues playing. A lot of the great soloists will hit that 3rd (F♯) to "tag" that D chord, to hear that change. Also, that scale - A-C-D-E-F♯ - also happens to be a D9 arpeggio: D-E-F♯-A-C (1-2-3-5-♭7) or D-F♯-A-C-E (1-3-5-♭7-9). In Ian Ring's scale system, the conventional names are the A Scale 681: "Minor Added Sixth Pentatonic" (1-♭3-4-5-6) and the D Scale 1173: "Dominant Pentatonic" (1-2-3-5-♭7). Note that the scale you call dominant pentatonic in your new video is called "Mixolydian Pentatonic" (1-3-4-5-♭7) in the Ian Ring system.

It's the 6th note of the major scale, full stop. This is always the case. It doesn't matter what it's applied to, it always refers to the note in the major scale. For example. An Em chord has the notes E, G, and B. Those are the 1, the b3 and the 5 respectively. It doesn't matter that it's a minor chord, we still use the E-major scale to reference the note positions.

Got it! So the flatted 7 creates that minor pentatonic scale (in A major it goes from G# to a G. In an A minor pentatonic adding the 6th is an F#? I knew all this by shape, rather than by notes. Another Page, Clapton common move - adding the 3rd? Correct? That’s a C# in the A scale?

I still remember that feeling of "what's this"? Then within a year everything I played had that note in it! I moved on, but man, what an impact it had on me.
