This is a solo from a series I'm doing on the Patreon that focuses on using small chord shapes as lead figures. These chord shapes are perfect for visualizing chord tones, targeting color notes not in the chords, shifting with the chords as they do, and just simply playing the chords themselves when they sound cool. In the lesson I talk about how valuable this tactic can be to add some great color to your playing, especially over something so overplayed like a 12 bar blues, which is often in dire need of extra color.
