Blues guitarists improvise mostly by using boxes — just as rock guitarists do. A box is a fingerboard pattern — usually outlining a pentatonic minor scale — that vaguely resembles the shape of a box. (See Chapter 11 for info on pentatonic minor scales and boxes.) By using notes in a box, you can improvise lead lines that automatically sound good as you play them over a 12-bar blues accompaniment.

You may already know how to use boxes to play rock ’n’ roll lead guitar, which employs the same scales and chords as blues. (And we describe these in Chapter 11.) If so, you should have no trouble understanding the example in Figure 12-4, which shows the three boxes you can use for soloing in the key of A that we introduce in Chapter 11; we circle the notes that are good for bending. (For information on bending, see Chapter 10.)
