Description

Have you ever wanted to take private lessons from the world's greatest professional blues guitar player?

Yeah, me too...

How about settling for me instead?

Consider this...

I've played guitar on and off over the last several decades and consider myself to still be an advanced beginner.

Which probably makes me a better guitarist than you.

Another thing to consider...

I seem to be a good teacher.

I've taught several friends how to play blues rhythm and lead guitar.

Now I'm asking you to join the group.

  • Not because I'm a great guitarist (I'm far from it).

  • Not because I've developed some revolutionary new teaching method (though I may have).

  • Not because I'm out to make a million dollars (though, wouldn't that be great?).

I'm asking you to join me because it will be fun... for both of us.

This course is unique in that I'm not a very good guitar player.  So, taking this course is more like sharing guitar tips with a buddy.  It's less intimidating than spending lots of money learning from a professional.

Come on!  Let's play blues guitar together.

There are few things more rewarding on this planet than making music with someone!

We'll begin with learning how to play open E and open A power chords - the core of the blues and rock 'n' roll - using 1 finger per chord.

Then we'll learn to add a B chord using a second finger --- from there we're off to the races...

Power chords, open chords, bar chords.  Rock 'n' roll rhythm and the blues shuffle rhythm.  It's all here in guitar chord diagrams and tablature.

The course includes information on how to play lead guitar and comes to a climax with a solo blues intro, shuffle, turn around, singing with lead conclusion.

By the end of the course you'll know everything you need to play beginner blues rhythm and lead guitar.

Or your money back.  No, seriously.

Udemy offers a 30 day no questions asked money back guarantee on any course purchased.  So, there goes your risk!

So, have you ever wanted to learn how to play blues guitar?

Why not join me for a 1-on-1 buddy session while we learn together?

I'll see you in the classroom,
