Regarding the beginning of the last solo phrase, the 5-8 repeated bend..... I find it pretty easy to make the bend with my pinky finger in position. Should I be playing this with the ring finger stretch as Rob is demonstrating? Love all your blues lessons, really helping me progress, Thank You Rob!

Great lesson. So much good stuff packed into one lesson. Thanks a lot Rob.

Great lesson Rob!

Another excellent lesson. Thank You Rob!

Thanks Rob. This has been extremely helpful in simplifying and demystifying the concept of playing blues guitar. Your lessons are helping me get beyond the plateau I've been stuck on for a long time.

Hi rob this kind of lesson is just what I need right now so much useful information explained really well. Keep up the good work it’s helping ✌️

OK Rob Thank you.

Hey Tom, thanks for the feedback. Yes, it looks like you have your minor pentatonic scale well memorized, meaning the next step for you is to add the flat 5 note, thus creating the extra flavorful “minor blues scale.” Let me know if you have further questions. -Rob

Great lesson Rob. I am just beginning to learn the various scales. I'm a bit confused perhaps you can help me understand. Position 1 for the minor pentatonic scale is (5-8) (5-7) (5-7) (5-7) (5-8) (5-8) and the scale we used for this blues lesson is (5-8) (5-6-7) (5-7) (5-7-8) (5-8) (5-8)

Hi, can you be specific on which links you are looking for? If you mean attachments, then they are at the bottom of the post. Thanks, enjoy! -Rob
