In this mandolin lesson, we’ll take a look at a blues lead break with two variations in the key of G, that utilises the blues scale, major blues scale, arpeggios, double stops, up and down the neck licks, call and response, plus a variety of articulation. Played over a 12 bar blues, there are a lot of great licks in this break, but be sure to check out all the other blues lessons on the mandolin at Pickin’ Lessons for more great lick ideas and in depth analysis of the scales, double stops and arpeggio patterns used throughout the solo.
