The following are some excerpts from a lesson I taught on blues impro with a student of mine, and I have edited these clips down to just a few concepts that may be useful to some of you.

You d'a man, Scotty! (phrase copyright 6 string 2010).

Here's a tip: if you want to attract punters, you have to put 'Lesson' in the title of thread, upload etc. (I believe you already have my banking details :winkthumb: ).

Hey thanks
Carol, the cheque is in the mail!
Sorry for the late reply - ISP has been rather slow coming to the party on that one at the new place!

Thanks for the feedback LeeB.
I probably didn't mention the key - they were filmed in the context of a lesson I was gibing someone and so that was already established - but a good point for the future.
