About the Lessons| 1. | Demonstration | In this video, Steve plays completely through The You Name It Blues, with chord names and fret numbers overlaid on the screens. |
| 2. | You Name It Blues Chords | Because we are tuned to an open chord (D-F#-A-d) by placing our slide at any one of the frets, we can play the major chord that is needed for this tune, that follows a typical 12 bar blues pattern. |
| 3. | Dominant 7th Chords | The dominant 7th Chords give blues an important part of its character. Using a slide from the flatted 7th note to the tonic on the highest or lowest strings gives us a way to play these chords that sounds very bluesy. |
| 4. | Melody Option 1 | The moment we’ve been waiting for: playing the melody of this tune. Our first option is to play across the strings beginning on the 4th fret, but staying between the 3rd and the 6th frets. |
| 5. | Woodshedding the 1st Option | Using woodshedding (or repetition) we break down the phrases of the first melody option, and then we put them back together. |
| 6. | Melody Option 2 | We can also play the melody across the strings beginning at the 1st fret and staying between 0 and 3rd or 4th frets. |
| 7. | Melody Option 3 | We can also play the melody using only the (2) lowest strings, starting on 6 and staying between frets 3 and 6. |
| 8. | Putting It All Together | Now the proof is in the pudding! We put all the melodic options together with the chord progression and You can Name It! |
