Introduction to the Jekyll and Hyde Blues
In this lesson, Chris Liepe introduces the "Jekyll and Hyde Blues." This is a 3 minute long blues guitar solo that incorporates techniques and lines from the blues greats. Chris breaks down the solo lick by lick.
Section 1 - String Raking, Muting, and a Pentatonic Line
Chris teaches the first section of this epic blues solo. This portion features string raking, muting, and a simple pentatonic line.
Section 2 - Call and Answer
Chris teaches the second section of the solo. This section features sort of call and response and also incorporates more bending, rakes and muting in a higher register.
Section 3 - A Flavored E Chord
Based on an open “E” chord, this familiar sounding lick comes way down in dynamics and in range.
Section 4 - Crash on the E
Chris teaches the fourth lick in this solo. It is a dominant line that is played the same over both the V and IV chords just before the turnaround.
Section 5 - The First Turnaround
This is one of the most familiar sounding licks in the entire pack. Chris teaches this classic turnaround and demonstrates how it can be used in the context of a blues solo.
Section 6 - Time for Some Lovin'
We really turn into the “nice guy” on this one! It starts with a subtle sweep/rake followed by some whispering bends. Then, you get to walk up with some clean 6th intervals and back down with some octaves. Get the other fingers on your pick hand ready for some hybrid picking. It makes the back half of this lick sound all the more lullaby-like.
