In Part 3, I'll show you how to use two-note sixth shapes to outline the harmony without returning to a full chord. We'll start with one simple A shape, hear how sixths follow a quick-change 12-bar blues, then use them to keep a lead line going through the changes. Start by practicing the move from A to D. When you're ready, explore nearby A, D and E outlines, turnarounds and some extra shapes. 🚨 Get comfortable with Parts 1 and 2 first. Knowing the rhythm of your lead lines and feeling where you are in the bar will make this much easier. Pick one or two shapes you like and put them into practice! ▶️ Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1fELBxMqjw ▶️ Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Be9n0hD4kQ 📖 CHAPTERS 0:00 Blues demonstration 1:13 Outline the harmony without a full chord 3:12 Your first sixth shape: C# and A 3:52 Hear the changes in a quick-change blues 4:45 Keep your solo going through the chord change 6:11 Another A sixth and a blues/country move 8:08 E and D outlines near pentatonic pattern 2 9:00 Start by practicing the A-to-D change 9:49 Finish the chorus with a turnaround 10:35 Count through the chord changes 12:30 Build the timing foundations first 13:44 More sixth shapes for advanced players 16:42 Choose your shapes and use them in solos 17:48 Next lesson: Hit and Run #justinguitar #bluesguitar #guitarlesson
