Are you feeling stuck in open position?

All the licks you need, and the tools to make them your own.

Clear, Organized Materials That Get Results
Nothing's more frustrating than trying to learn from vague, uninformative lessons that are long on "feel" and "vibe" but short on actual, useable content. If you'd like clear, specific rules for finding licks up the neck and a step by step plan for making them your own, check out what guitarists like you have to say about the last Blues Up The Neck! workshop:
