When you're comping or playing blues rhythm, it's easy to get comfortable with one chord shape... But you can add a lot to your rhythm playing by simply moving between shapes that you might already know. Your ear is always your guide, but there are some simple shapes that you should consider.

One of the more difficult, but important techniques you need to play with a heavy picking hand in the style of SRV or KWS is the ability to play "behind" your muting fingers. In this video I'll explain what that concept is, and how to start practicing on it so that you can increase the amount of control you have over how your notes ring out and what doesn't ring out.

There are a lot of ways to solo over a blues chord progression, but one things that holds true is using chord tones... In this video, I'll show you a great way to pull your listener from one chord to the next using a bluesy/jazzy trick of encasing the 3rd of the next chord. As usual, what's truly important is the beat you use this trick on. If you do it at the right time, it works beautifully and you can use it with any other blues scale, pattern, or licks that you already know. Website - https:

While this isn't the first time I've talked about this type of format for an acoustic blues... This is the first time I've approached it using basically just one or two tiny pieces of a lick and creating 4 licks from those pieces. In addition, I added a turnaround (though I didn't walk through it, you can still see it on the tab on-screen.) If you actually take the time to learn all of these components, and learn them well, you'd be amazed just how much you can play. Website - https://BluesGuita

For a beginning guitarist, there aren't many good options, and it can be really overwhelming really quickly... It's always difficult looking for lessons on YouTube or websites because those lessons assume you know things that you don't know... Or if you get a beginning book, it's just not very motivating to have to play "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" or some other mindless kid song...

When you're soloing using the minor blues or pentatonic scale (as we all do, a LOT), it's nice to just make a little nod to the "right-er" fit of the major 3rd over the I chord. So here I'll show you how to make that little squeeze (the blues squeeze, as I like to call it) only when that I chord pops up (don't do it over IV or V!)

Anyone, playing any style of music, needs to either improve or maintain their technique... I don't think it matters how long you've been playing, you can always use a refresher. I stole a bunch of this stuff over the years from some really great guitar players and teachers I've had... so I can't take credit... But I can tell you that if you want to play better, improving your technical ability always helps. Website - https://BluesGuitarUnleashed.com Premium Courses, Jam Tracks, and Songs - https

This is kind of hard to explain, but I think you'll find it fun... One of my students was asking about the intro to ZZ Top's tune, "Brown Sugar," and there are a few cool little things. I didn't want to just transcribe it (it would be hard to write down) but I thought it would be cool to walk you through the ideas, especially the little flurries and stuff, so you could put together your own version.

Many, if not most, new blues players learn good old "Box 1" of the minor pentatonic scale, but that's just a small part of the puzzle... In fact, you really need 3 parts - the scale, some licks, and some complete solos. I'm assuming you've got the scale pattern, so here are 3 easy licks to play that will sound good, and will establish good habits in your licks.

You have probably heard me talk about phrasing on more than one occasion... And I've certainly expounded upon the need to "leave some space," in your solos... But this lesson isn't about that at all :) In fact, the idea here is to keep playing steady 1/8th notes, don't stop, and still hit the target. What's the target, you ask? The root notes, or any chord tone will do... but in this video we'll stick to the roots. And until you're good at it, I suggest you do the same. Website - https://BluesGu

In fact, many of my students have gone from not being able to even get through a whole song... To leading the band at their local jams, and performing regularly in their area. Now, it's probably obvious that, to play the blues, you are going to need some blues chords... You’re going to need some rhythm figures (riffs)...

If you are familiar with the popular 'Blues In E" type of blues riff, then you've come across a turnaround before - even if you didn't know it. The turnaround is the last 2 bars of the 12 bar form, and it's a place where you want to have some easy "go-to" options... And that, is what this video is all about. There's no TAB specifically because of the "mix and match" nature of the ideas. Feel free to put them together into whatever you want to hear and what fits your fingering preferences. Websit
