Welcome to Blues for the Curious Guitarist. This is a complete class to help you fully understand & play real blues guitar. We'll start at the very beginning (assuming that you're starting from scratch) and work our way up to advanced blues. By the end of this class, you'll be chord comping & soloing over several different major & minor blues progressions & songs. You'll have endless chord changing possibilities so that your chords will always be exciting with unlimited soloing choices. You'll learn to properly solo over blues songs in any key, giving you several positions & options for where & how you want to approach your solos.

Any kind of six-string guitar will work well for this class - electric, acoustic, or classical guitar.

You'll learn how to navigate blues theory so you can always have fun & be creative when playing blues guitar.

The title of these video lessons will include the PDF page number (available in the Projects & Resources section) to reference. These pages are the tabs, songs, chords, and guitar lessons.
