Blues Chord Substitutions
Â
"You can never have too many ways to play through the blues. I'll be showing you how to use Freddie Green chord voicings to expand your fingerstyle blues vocabulary, while helping you understand why they work.
Â
"We'll go over the half-dozen most essential chord shapes before diving into all the different ways you can use these three-note shapes to dress up the basic I, IV and V with all kinds of chord licks, moving bass lines and more.
"I’ll bring music/TAB of some complete choruses of the blues in E, including my original tune Muleshoe Getaway. "
