I Concentrate On You in B

B major mixes barre and open elements. The B chord itself is a barre at fret 2, but E and A are comfortable open chords forming the IV and V. The open B string rings as the root, allowing creative drone-based arrangements. B is a intermediate-level key on guitar because the open B string rings as the root and the open E strings provide the 4th — useful for sus4 voicings and drone effects. This key mixes open and barre shapes, making it a good intermediate challenge that builds fretboard fluency.

Voice Leading

The bass line moves through B to B (ascending unison), B to F# (descending perfect fourth), F# to B (ascending perfect fourth), B to A (descending whole step), A to D (ascending perfect fourth), D to Cb (descending whole step), Cb to E (ascending major third), E to E (ascending unison), E to C# (descending minor third), C# to B (descending whole step), B to G# (descending minor third), G# to C# (ascending perfect fourth), C# to C# (ascending unison), C# to E (ascending minor third), E to B (descending perfect fourth), B to D# (ascending major third), D# to G# (ascending perfect fourth), G# to B (ascending minor third), B to A (descending whole step), A to D (ascending perfect fourth), D to B (descending minor third), B to F# (descending perfect fourth), F# to F# (ascending unison). The root motion by larger intervals (fourths and fifths) gives each chord change a strong, decisive character. When the progression loops, the bass returns from F# to B by perfect fourth.

Scales for Improvisation

B major pentatonic works because every note is either a chord tone or a safe passing tone — there are no avoid notes. For soloing, this means you can play freely without clashing. Over dominant seventh chords, B Mixolydian adds the flat seventh for an authentic blues-rock edge.
