Video: How to Fake a Blues Solo

Rocker

Found this on the internet.  How I cannot say but there it is.



Sounds pretty impressive to me.  Might be worth giving it a try.

Its great, but I'm not sure it deserves the label "how to fake" since its not fake, its a genuine way to get into simple improvising the blues (progression). I am sure they know exactly what they're doing. The people who are learning/copying it don't necessarily know the underlying theory, or reason why it works, but they know that it does work. Its a simple way to improvise and make sure its going to sound reasonable.

I agree @paul_c2 about the name. The method could be used with a looper. Record the shuffle and play over it. A trick used by more than one busker in Dublin.
