Greetings, Musicians and Music Lovers
I have gotten many emails over learning how to solo and come up with crazy run. Here are some scales that can give your music a little spice. You can use these runs to backup a preacher or just have fun coming up with your own licks and tricks.

For those who love theory I haven't forgot about you as well. When you see "or" that meansit's translated in to the flats.
This is the famous gospel bles and jazz scale in all 12 keys.
On a side note: I just want to say we send out our love to the Houston family for their recent loss of a loved one. Whitney Houston had a voice that could touch the world. One of my favourite songs was: The Bodyguard.
What was one of your favourites?
Take Care,
