The minor Blues has a quite exciting sound. There is a chord that we can borrow from the melodic minor scale that can make the minor Blues even more exciting and refreshing to play.

In this guitar lesson, we will explore the Min(Maj6) chord played over a Blues in A minor. We will talk about the minor Blues structure as well as the chords and the melodic minor scale.

Most of the time, all we need to add more color to a chord progression is that one note that changes the character of the chords.

Play an A minor chord, and you have lovely minor sounding chord perfect for a lot of different songs and music styles. Now add the note F# to the A minor chord to make it sound more mysterious and unresolved. This single note changed the way the A minor sounds like and opened up a ton of harmonical and melodic possibilities.

In this video, we will be focusing on the Blues, but you can use this concept to transform any chord, you know.
