The Heart of the Blues illustrates the "minor" blues sound which is the most popular manner of soloing on guitar. The Heart of the Blues empowers guitarists with freedom-from-chioce by distilling guitar melodies down to six notes you can play anytime, in any order, in any song, and never make a mistake.
The six notes are the minor tones b3rd, b5th, and b7th (Eb, Gb, Bb in the key of C) combined with the perfect tones--the root, 4th and 5th (C, F and G).
By simplifying the music the way all great guitarists do when they play a slow blues--that is, by distilling it into these six notes (C, Eb, F, Gb, G, Bb)--your solos gain instant familiarity whether you're playing rock, blues or jazz.
