Frank Gambale Blues Solo Improvisation

The chords are as follows: excluding the lead in bar, 4 bars of Bm, 2 bars of Em, 2 bars of Bm, 1 bar of G(7), 1 bar of Fsharp(7), 2 bars of Bm.

Frank uses mostly The B blues scale and B aeolian over the B minor chords. Over the E minor he uses E dorian He uses the occasional chromatic notes as well. Over the G chord he plays a tasty G lydian lick and over the Fsharp he plays chromatic and then Fsharp superlocrian. He finished on the B Blues scale again.
