This first unit of The Practicing Blues Guitarist is my prequel to learning to play the changes on the blues. If you feel fluent and satisfied with your pentatonic playing, you'll probably want to skip ahead to at least unit 2, Swing and Jump Blues, or unit 3, Hard Bop and Boogaloo. But if you want to tighten up your blues basics, refresh your pentatonic vocabulary, or are looking for a more organized, reliable way to jump-start your improvisations, this could be a good place to start.
In these eleven lessons, you'll learn:
Form and Phrasing includes 11 video lessons, each with accompanying pdf charts and/or tab and custom jam tracks to practice to. All streaming videos, jam tracks and pdfs are also downloadable and belong to you forever.
Here are the topics covered. You can watch lesson 7 in its entirety above to get a feel for the material and how it's presented.
When you purchase the course, you have immediate access to all of the lesson material, and can download, stream and study all of it at whatever pace suits you best. Form and Phrasing introduces important musical concepts for organizing and developing your ideas, concepts that apply not only to basic blues improvisation but to more sophisticated swing and jazz soloing as well.
