In this week's guitar lesson you'll be sitting in as the guitar player in a rock / blues trio, filling in both rhythm and lead parts. There are no chord changes in this song, only a single chord. Since there are no other rhythm instruments, you'll be defining the song as minor or major, and will be going back and forth between them. … [Read more...]

Jerry Garcia Style Guitar Lesson – Grateful Dead Style Lead – EP196

Rock Blues Solo Guitar Lesson – EP162
In this guitar lesson, you'll learn a solo composition (played with no accompaniment) in which you'll play a blues progression in the key of A. This is reminiscent of something you might hear a blues trio play (think Cream or ZZ Top). I decided to leave out a jam track with this lesson because it sounds so good on it's own. This is intended for electric guitar, although if you only have an acoustic, you should be able to play most of it. … [Read more...]
Blues Boogie Rhythm Guitar Lesson (With Lead Part) – EP152
This lesson was designed to help you with rhythm guitar. You'll learn how to strum this up-tempo blues guitar boogie and how to keep your right hand in motion while delivering the chords and muted strums at the right time. To really improve your timing, practice this with the provided MP3 jam track. The jam track is just bass and drums, so you'll be virtually playing in a trio, which forces you to be on your toes. I've also included a slower version of the jam track for those of you that … [Read more...]
Rock Blues Guitar Lesson (3 Chords) – No Accompaniment – EP151
