Realy good class! Recommended for late beginners and early intermediates. Ya should have some knowledge of 6 and 7th chords, some knowledge of notes up to 5th fret plus a feeling for Blues rythm. Exzellent! Thanks for sharing with us!
By Keltie Bruce Kennedy on 6/21/2024
Great course, opens up a whole new wonderful world and thinking about open chords, CAGE , DOMINANT 7s and tying it all together. Great fun.
By Geoff Armstrong on 1/12/2024
I was already familiar with some of the basic chords and licks but there's enough content to push me to a higher level so I feel the course is good value for money. Ben's instruction is steady and clear. Definitely pleased overall.
By Brian Sterling on 4/11/2023
Its great to be guided through so many tasteful licks to help connect the dots on my blues journey...thank you
By James Anstey on 9/4/2022
This has been an excellent course with many, aha moments. Ben has given us many licks with good explanations of each, along with a further explanation of how to possibly apply it to improvised music we may create for ourselves. In my journey from electric blues to acoustic, this course illustrates many ways to add depth and emotion to each phrase. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting a running start at playing acoustic blues guitar.
