00:00everybody andy timmons welcome back to melodic muse for guitar world and we're continuing talking
00:22about building and today we're going to put some of these pieces together and play over c sharp
00:26minor blues so i'm going to be trying to do the best i can to play some really beautiful melodies
00:32with bending and i hope it inspires you so let's get into it
00:56so
01:03So here's the chord progression.
01:33So here's the chord progression.
02:03So here's the chord progression.
02:33I have to start simply, and as the lines build, you'll see that I'm kind of ascending up the neck, even though it's just one time through a blues form.
02:42And I might continue playing as the band vamps up.
02:45But even just this one time through the form, it's got a certain direction.
02:51It's starting kind of low and building up and building excitement and kind of climaxing in a certain way before the band comes in fully.
02:57So when I start off on that C sharp minor, I might not be remembering verbatim what I played, but some of the basic things that I was doing, and it's all really revolving around bending melodies through the chord tones, right?
03:12So I'm going to be very aware that if I'm on C sharp minor seven, I know where the root is, where that third is particularly, the fifth is, and where the flat seven is, and where the root is, right?
03:25So I played something to the, right?
03:30So I'm making a melody, bending up to the ninth.
03:34Another common thing I do quite a bit is, even though I'm bending up to a scale tone, I might bend again to the next scale tone.
03:46And that's what I'm doing.
03:46I'm bending up to the ninth from the C sharp.
03:51And then adding another half step to that by achieving the third.
03:56Because again, I know that's kind of, that's what's outlining that harmony.
03:59That's what's giving you the tone of the chord.
04:04But I'm really featuring more of the ninth, because it's more of a, it's more of a kind of a tension note.
04:13Then I resolve it in a way, so I'm coming back down to the root, and eventually back down to the fifth.
04:26You know, in the next, in the next phrase I get into, I'm bending further up through.
04:31There I get up, I'm getting up into this position here in the ninth fret, where I'm bending from the fifth to the flat seven.
04:40Now that's a, that's a minor third bend.
04:44So this time I'm not going up to the next scalar pitch.
04:47I'm actually skipping a tone, going to the next pitch.
04:50So that's.
04:52But I start by bending to that seventh.
04:54And that's a nice tension tone, because we're still, we're on a static C sharp minor.
05:00So that note, that's the sixth scale degree.
05:04And so it's a kind of a cool.
05:07It's like the, it's like that, the ninth, where it wants to, it wants to resolve.
05:13So, but I'm bending up.
05:17Do that kind of thing all the time.
05:18As I'm wanting to gather even more energy and kind of a climax to the solo on that,
05:33when it gets to the five chord, I utilize this bend.
05:38That's a very bluesy way of approaching the five chord in that I'm, I'm starting on the,
05:44on the root, bending from the flat third to the fourth.
05:50And instead of releasing the flat third, it's flat, flat third plus.
05:56It's not quite the major third, not the minor third.
06:01It's all right.
06:05Then I slide all the way up here to where I'm fretting the, the F sharp.
06:09I mean, yeah, the, the, the F sharp bending up to the G sharp.
06:12So here's the first time we get into a chromatic bend.
06:18So I'm, I'm, I'm achieving the root.
06:23Letting it descend to the natural seven to the flat seven.
06:34Now all the way up to that high C sharp bending from B to C sharp.
06:42Actually, I think I included the flat nine, didn't I?
06:49So there's a chromatic.
06:51They're all the way up to the flat nine from the flat seven.
06:53They're all the way up to the flat note.
07:04They're all the way up to the flat nine from the flat bisschen.
07:06They're all the way up to the figure of them.
07:06Some have noander.
07:07They're all the way up to the flat one of the flat constitutionalges
07:07by the DDoC
07:08They're all the way up to the flat days.
07:09They're all the way up to the flat nine from the flat seven to the metalقة.
07:11They're all the way up to the mann essays.
07:14So I'm going to play with a ph Associar T Agriculture phone�리 one of the first time.
07:14And then they wake up to the banjo.
07:15That's I'm telling you right.
07:15Going to the floor.
07:16And now all the way up to the floor.
07:18So I'm going to try.
07:18Hey man.
07:19I'm closing the side half six, I mean.
