Description

Today, it seems that so many blues guitarists are content to jam out in the first or second blues box position - shredding single string solos and bends full of cliched licks and lacking imagination. So how does one escape the mundane? Easy! All you have to do is explore the playing of the "old school" blues guitarists - the originators of the style! That's what this new lesson series is all about. I've always been interested in finding new and more interesting licks to mix-in with the commonly used phrases. Here, I will share and teach 50 different ways that you can make your playing more interesting - in the "old school" way.

In this course, I will teach you 50 different licks and creative ideas from the blues recordings of the 1950s and 1960s. The licks taught in this lesson series come from the playing of such greats as Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin, Robert Jr. Lockwood, Pee Wee Crayton, T-Bone Walker, Otis Rush, Freddy King, Eddie Taylor, Johnny "Guitar Watson. and many more!

TABS are included for each lick.

Licks include chord licks, single string runs & fills, double stop licks, and other creative ideas.

Each lick is clearly explained and demonstrated - so you actually can understand how/why the lick is played and how you can play it in a variety of keys.

This lesson series is meant to supplement my two Traditional Blues Guitar Lesson Series for beginners - giving you a variety of new ideas to work into your playing.

Who this course is for:

Anyone who plays blues guitar - and prefers the older styles from before 1970.
