 Your Guide to Blues Changes: Finally Know What To Play When the Chords Move
Â
Hey guys — Jake here.
If you’ve ever felt solid with your pentatonic scales until the chords change, this is the course that fixes that.
I’ll show you the exact notes, bends, tendencies, and movements that make your playing actually speak around the 1, 4, and 5 — the way real blues players do. No theory overwhelm, no “three different keys” headache. Just a clear system that finally makes the fretboard make sense when the progression moves.
If you want to sound more intentional, more expressive, and more musical, you’re in the right place.
Â
What You’ll Be Able to Do After This:
Know Exactly What To Do When the Chords Change
Stop guessing — learn where the major 3rd, major 6th, and b7 live inside the shapes you already know.
Bend & Slide Into the Chord Tones
Use classic blues tendencies: nudging the 3rd, sliding into the 2, bending the flat 3 — the stuff that makes your phrasing pop.
Outline the 1, 4, and 5
Play ideas that clearly say, “We’re on the I… now the IV… now the V,” instead of treating the whole blues like one scale.
Modern & Traditional Blues Vocabulary
Marcus King-style slides, SRV bends, Albert/BB King–type movements — all broken down in a simple, playable way.
Fretboard Confidence
Actually understand where the notes live, why they sound good, and how to connect them in your own phrases.
Musical Phrases, Not Just Licks
Everything is designed to plug straight into your playing — real ideas, real tendencies, real movement.
Â

Why This Works:
Most players can rip pentatonics… until the chords shift.
Then the licks stop working, the phrasing gets muddy, and it turns into guesswork.
This course changes that by giving you:
A simple system that shows you exactly which notes matter over each chord — and how to move between them in a musical way.
No fluff. No complicated theory.
Just the real, practical stuff I use every day when I improvise.
Â
Why I Teach This:
This course came from hearing the same question over and over:
“Jake… what do I play when the chords move?”
And man…I remember being stuck there too, wondering what I was missing.
Once I broke the blues down into simple, usable pieces, everything clicked.
My phrasing opened up. My confidence went way up. My solos finally sounded musical instead of “pentatonic over everything.”
Now I’m handing you that exact system so you can get there faster.
I can’t wait to hear what you do with it!
