@Sunseeker95 and of course, it probably goes without saying…Whammer Jammer!
9’ 9 10 10" 9
That’s really the crux of the matter for high note 2nd position bluesy playing without over-blows/over-draws.
If you play some kind of lick utilizing those notes -8-9 9 10 "10 9 you’re gonna get a big reaction from the crowd.
Even just jumping up to the 9 bending it down 9’ and sliding down is a great way to punctuate / add excitement and break out of the box.
The Way Down In Florida Riff can be played up the octave:
6 -7 -8 8 9. -7 -8 8 -8 6 Then when it goes to the IV chord 7 8’ 8 9 -10 10 8’8 9 -10 9 Playing with that might generate some ideas.
Also don’t forget that any 3rd position riff works well when you’re playing in 2nd position over the V chord.
So like I know you’re already playing and bending your -6 which is a GREAT way to add excitement. You can’t take it a bit further trying this lick over the V chord -6’ -6 7 -8 7 -6 -6’ -5 -4.
Hope that helps generate some more 2nd position high note ideas for ya!
