The Electric Blues Course
The Electric Blues Course (ongoing course) aims to take you from complete beginner (the first lesson literally assumes you’ve never played guitar) to at least intermediate level in the blues style.
You’ll learn basic rhythm playing, then more embellished rhythm playing, and you’ll learn basic soloing, then more advanced soloing ideas.

Just purchased the Eric Clapton “Ramblin’ On My Mind” and Joni Mitchell “Roses Blue” lessons. The exactness of the tablature, augmented by your superb video tutorials have renewed my passion and confidence that I have the ability to play up to a much higher level than previously achieved. The key is having a teacher who has a global knowledge of theory, in combination with virtuosity on the guitar, and one who has applied that necessary perspiration comprising 98% of genius to “crack the code” of many great artists’ finest performances. Over the years, I have paid numerous teachers handsomely to acquire snippets of what you deliver fully for a most reasonable fee, and using media and formats that work flawlessly to inform the process. Most appreciative, Jerry!

Hi I’m 65 and I have not played for about 26 years and I wasn’t very good then lol. But I have decided to get the guitar out again a few weeks ago and start again. You are a very good teacher and I am learning Me And Julio from your vid and I am trying to master the intro.
I am really going to keep at the guitar this time thanks to you..

An “old guy” returning to some great fun with music again….your lessons (and those of Mike H’s) have been a delight! Can’t thank you enough….now, if you have any tricks to get 60+ year old fingers to move like they did when I was 20, please share them. :)

A poor old pensioner taking up the guitar again after 54 years says a big thankyou.
