We kick off Season 2 with a bang!.. a chord and riff filled lesson on how to play four, yes FOUR must-know Blues grooves. Knowing how to authentically strum and riff your way through a 12 bar in that classic blues, boogie, country and rock style is something EVERY guitarist should be comfortable with. Whether you consider yourself a Rhythm or lead player is irrelevant.. this stuff is non-negotiable and essential!
From Jerry Reed, Keith Richards and Billy Gibbons, to John Lennon, Charlie Feathers and David Gilmour, we cover a ton of blues and rock n’ roll related territory in this one!

** The lesson materials include 6 pages worth of neatly typed up examples in TAB and Notation.. guitar pro and PDF formats! **

I also have a special announcement regarding a mind-blowingly cool signature gear release so do stick around for the Tone talk section at the end of the video! 👌🏻
