Ricky Skaggs’ “Old Home Place” Solo, Part 1: Bb Major and Blues Scales
Ricky Skaggs’ solo on the 1975 JD Crowe and the New South recording of “Old Home Place” is a classic and illustrates many elements of his funky style, including some cool syncopations and bluesy, swingy licks. The solo is in the key of Bb, and Sharon starts by showing you three ways to play a Bb major scale. She also shows you how to find a blues scale, which includes the flatted third, flatted seventh, and flatted fifth, in Bb.
