Whats with this 5th position stuff
« on: March 28, 2016, 05:22:55 PM »
What is so good about this 5th position playing ? what would you use it for ?
So far the stuff I have heard on boogie in 5th does not make sense to me, it would sound better in 3rd

This is the video that got me interested in 5th position (I'm also working on 4th, but that 3 double bend is hard :)).

Fifth position is good for minor blues. It is a minor blues scale.
