Blues guitar lesson alert! Want to spice up your solos? In this guitar soloing tutorial, I’ll show you three easy notes you can add to the pentatonic scale to instantly improve your blues guitar tone and phrasing—perfect for beginners and beyond.

We’ll cover:
⦿ The major 6 – Chuck Berry vibes galore
⦿ The minor-to-major 3rd slide – adds soul to your phrasing
⦿ The 9th – melodic and smooth

These little devices plug right into your normal blues scale—no need to change how you think. And at the end, I’ll play a slow 12-bar blues in A so you can jam along and try them out!
