UPTOWN
BLUES
Lost In LA
JOSH SAYS:

This is even more LA/Fusion. This is in the key of A minor, and I’m using some melodic
minor (A B C D E F# G#) ideas over the Am chords. I’m trying to be myself on it while still
following the changes. I also play a little 2 over 1 chord idea on the second change of the
second chorus - G major notes (G B D) over the F chord. And for good measure some EJ
style pentatonic licks, using groups of five notes. I used the LovePedal Tchula and slap back
echo again for the tone.
