Jazz in Blues
In this section you will take your blues in a decidedly jazzy direction. You'll learn some funky and "Wes" style moves, and then look at the diminished scale and the melodic minor scale and learn how and when to apply them to the blues.
TIP! The key to having great soloing and improvisation chops is continuing to build on your basic soloing foundation. So you should be working on things like targeting notes, making sure you are playing the best possible note you can. This requires you to be knowledgeable about what the chords are doing underneath your solo. That is one of the things beginning soloists don't do enough of is pay attention to the chord progression they are playing over. You also have to keep your technique sharp - it is not good knowing all the right notes to play if you are sloppy and can't get to them in time. So while you have to work on the knowledge side of music to really advance your improv, you still have to be spending some time working with a metronome and pushing your physical limits as well.

Funky Flourish
Funky Flourish - Introduction is a video guitar lesson presented by Frank Vignola and is sourced from Jazz Up Your Blues.
You're jamming along playing your bluesy licks and want to add a little something to spice things up. Try adding a "flourish". A flourish is a fast musical idea that leads to a new chord change or new melodic idea. This tune has some great flourish ideas but don't stop there! As long as you have a starting and an end note you can develop your own flourishes. Don't forget to keep the expression in your playing.

Funky Flourish - Breakdown is a video guitar lesson presented by Frank Vignola and is sourced from Jazz Up Your Blues.
Again we start by going over the chords. An important step every time. You must know the chords. We start with the sharp 9 and go down the pentatonic scale. Then we add the flourish. Practice this flourish idea slowly. Don't forget we have our target ending tone. Then a pull off. Pull offs are a great way to spice up your solos. On the E7 chord we use neighboring tones playing a note above and below the chord tones before playing the chord tone. Great Joe Pass style lick. Pentatonic is used over the Am7-D7 chords. Creates great tension before ending on the G chord.

Wes' Blues
Wes' Blues - Introduction is a video guitar lesson presented by Frank Vignola and is sourced from Jazz Up Your Blues.
Wes Montgomery is a groove giant and was always swinging. Wes was truly a master at getting the most out of his playing. You didn't hear many flourishes from his playing but his octaves and single-note lines were always in the pocket and probably even more effective than if he played more fast and flashy lines. Lots of expression used on this one. The more expression the groovier!

Lots of good material
There's lots of good things to pick through and study for techniques, phrasing, note choice and approach. The instructors are top notch and they draw from good courses. In my opinion when you are looking at advanced approaches, rather than looking at a survey course such as this, you might be better served by selecting individual courses that focus more deeply on the specific sounds you want to create.
