Re: Melody embellishment
From Tobin - ".....converting some of the melody notes to the blues scale.". After 10 years,i can play pretty well & i can improvise a solo easily enough,once i've learned a tune. However,what Tobin mentions - the 'Blues scale',i hear all the time in Bluegrass mandolin recordings. Just the odd note here & there,lifts the overall sound from 'out of the ordinary'.
My questions 1) Is there more than one 'Blues scale' ?. 2) If there is, 'which' Blues scale is the most often used ?. It's something i'd like to work on & i'd really appreciate a bit of 'informed guidance',
