      yes absolutly right. In blues we can always use the b3 and b7 no matter what. even if it’s a major blues you can use the b3 as well as the M3…never the M7 tho.

        I’ve been working on your blues exercises so much right now (the ones that I’ve learned; will resume the rest of the book when I get back home) and it kind of just occurred to me, without really thinking about it, while experimenting that I could really emphasize these 2 notes and the result is pretty amazing! Is this something that you do a lot yourself? I think I remember you mentioning in an earlier post about how you often will use a combination of things while Improvising during a single song? I see the real value of committing your exercises to memory; I had to rely on memory while out here LOL What appeals to me so, so much about Blues and Improvisation is that there’s so much that we can do! 🙂
