Welcome to Blues for the Curious Guitarist. This is a complete course to help you fully understand & play real blues guitar. We’ll start at the very beginning (assuming that you’re starting from scratch) and work our way up to advanced blues. By the end of this course, you’ll be chord comping & soloing over several different major & minor blues progressions & songs. You’ll have endless chord changing possibilities so that your chords will always be exciting with unlimited soloing choices. You’ll learn to properly solo over blues songs in any key, giving you several positions & options for where & how you want to approach your solos.

Any kind of six-string guitar will work well for this course – electric, acoustic, or classical guitar.

You’ll learn how to navigate blues theory so you can always have fun & be creative when playing blues guitar.

Every lesson video has a PDF attachment in the “additional resources” tab. These PDFs are the tabs, songs, chords, and text guitar lessons. You can download, save, & print these. Be sure to get all the PDFs.

This course is in five sections:

[Blues Guitar Basics] – Get all of the tools you’ll need for the entire course (starting from scratch.)

[Major Blues] – Begin using the tools we’ve learned to play chords & solo through the major Delta style blues progressions while exploring lots of blues tricks along the way.

[Minor Blues] – Learn the minor style of blues playing, still using the tools we’ve learned, but with new methods for the minor keys.

[Blues Songs] – Learn old blues songs with chords & soloing. These songs will help you jump start your blues song list and give you choices beyond the standard blues forms.

[Bonus Lessons] – This course is always growing! New content (like more blues turnarounds) is added to this section.

I’m glad you’re here – let’s begin!
