COURSE OVERVIEW
Solos Of The Blues Greats
Learning your favourite blues guitar solos and understanding what makes them so impactful is one of the most effective ways of developing as a player.
It will build your repertoire of licks and technique and deepen your skills as a musician. It will also help you to recreate the ideas of your favourite players and target them in your own playing.
Throughout this series of mini courses, you will learn the solos of your blues guitar heroes, as well as the concepts and techniques that make these solos so powerful.
Crucially, you will learn how to apply these concepts in your own playing, and improvise and solo in the same musical context.

My story
I have played guitar for over 20 years and have loved blues music for just as long.
5 years ago – after getting complacent with my practice and playing, I decided I wanted to push on with my playing.
I started to document my journey and share tips on gear, practice and playing.
To my joy, that helped to turn me into a full time Bluesman.
I have since gone on to work with hundreds of blues guitarists all over the world through the Blues Club and 1-2-1 coaching.
