Take a close look at the pattern.
Also, the sharp notes will have equivalent flats, depending on the application and key

That’s great. It’s amazing how fast we learn when we are keen. The Irish tunes are great to develop speed and fluency. Try Soldiers Joy and Rights of Man, I might post an arrangement at some point as well.

Tony and Merry Christmas

I will be putting al sorts of resources together. I assume what you call free-forming is what I’ve called improvisation for almost 40 years.

I think a great place to come from is to hum or sing a part and then work out how to play it. A lot of guys just run their hands up and down the fretboard playing the right notes, this for me is not such a great approach. The idea is to get the sounds into your head and learn how to play them. I developed a very strong melodic approach by learning to play the melodies of numerous songs and then learn how to build around the melody. The bluegrass players are very good at this, and this is a great style for developing fluency, second only to classical Indian music. The training in Indian music is much more rigorous than any other style, wheras the bluegrass is very relaxed…. but darn fast

It would be helpful if you could give an example of free-forming in a blues scale.
