This is a shining example of how to mix the major and minor blues scales/sounds using boxes 1 and 2 of the blues scale…
It pivots around the root up top (which I talk about a lot) and then ends on the major 3rd instead of the minor 3rd – creating a pair of perfectly major bookends around an otherwise minor blues idea.
I stole this fair and square from Matt Schofield, but truth be told it’s not an unusual idea and it’s the kind of thing a lot of guitar players might play.
In addition to the lick, itself, I hope you’ll watch the last half about how to learn and really assimilate the lick into your own playing…

How To Improve Blues Solos – for breaking down licks and really assimilating them and using them in your own solos.
