Squizz Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi I love jpj's bass line on the3 lemon song but rather than follow tab I'd love to try to just improvise the solo does anone know what scale it's in? Then I can practise the scale first and then try to jam along. Any advice much appreciated squizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexbasscat Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 That would be E major sir hang out around the 12th fret for the verses and drop back for the chorus T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 His solo is basically based around the blues scale in E,A and B. So rather than 'blanket' the whole solo with one scale he is outlining the chord changes (E7#9, A7,B7) with the appropriate blues scale. The Blues Scale is made up of I,bIII,IV,bV,V,bVII. Basically it's a minor pentatonic with an added flat 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens as we get older, I understand. Ah, T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
