Course Description

This course begins with an introduction of me showing that you can go from zero knowledge of the guitar, to playing awesome blues riffs that everyone will tap they're foot to.

You'll realise that playing the guitar is much easier then you thought, regardless of previous fear and doubt that might have been stopping you until now.

I walk you through all the elements that you'll need to know in order to play those groovy blues riffs you've always been dreaming about.

Each short, intense (and sometimes funny) lecture helps you learn about different aspects of playing the guitar (not just blues).

Every lecture has a supported guitar play-along, so that you can watch and listen to me, while playing along at home. This way, you'll never get lost, and you can listen to the track as many time as you need to.

You have the opportunity to become the guitar player you have always dreamed of. The lessons in the course are designed to teach the blues, but much of the lessons can be used in any other style that you want to play.

Throughout the course, you'll have the opportunity to ask me questions and get quick support. This way you're never alone, I'm always cheering you on!

By the end of this course, you'll know what you need to play guitar riffs with confidence and pride. You'll be able to pull out your guitar and friends/family will be shocked by the fast and amazing progress you made in such a short period time.

Begin net, tot nu toe duidelijk, maar nog geen mening gevormd.

By Andy Swalwell on 10/22/2024

I had done a blues course previously, and this was a bit of knowledge consolidation for me

By Dieter Haug on 8/7/2024

It's an excellent course to get introduced and interested into the Blues. There are only some aspects that, for me could be improved: 1. Henry doesn't answer Q&A anymore, or very rarely. 2. Since I completed other courses of his first, I am very much in a mindset where I try to understand why a chord is built that way and so on, now (in Chapter 6, Lesson 12) Henry uses some chords together that don't make sense with the explanation "You can do whatever you want", but I think there must be a (harmonic) reason why a Major/Minor/Major chord progression is used and to understand why this is used and what else can be experimented with, would have been helpful, for me at least. 3. I don't get the connection between Lesson 6 and Lesson 8 -Pentatonic Scale, I guess the Pentatonic scale can be used to filter out the notes that are used in blues, but in Lesson 6 this doesn't match with what it used, it is a bit difficul to understand the connection between chapters, if there is a connection. Ok, that's all the negative points I can muster, there is so much to learn in this course and the music has literally gone stuck in my head, so only half a star reduction.

I just want to say Thank you Henry for making the blues very accesible you make me understand a lot of things I couldnt get from other courses I took, well explained, you really exceeded all my expectations. Thank you!! This is the kind of lessons I have been looking for so long. 100% recommended!

By Mollie Dishal on 8/14/2020

Excellent course and instruction...step-by-step toward mastery of the material with very clear and concise description with each step along the way...have enjoyed and learned tremendously with each course I've taken with Henry and for older learners like myself his method of instruction makes it very easy to comprehend all the material...very comprehensive course...very highest recommendations!!!

By Eric M on 5/13/2020

Very clear explanations. Guitar is hard and frustrating to learn, and the only way to actually learn is to practice. I am still in Section 4, and have a ways to go. I am working through it and hope to go from knowing nothing about guitar or music theory to being able to play Blues, my favorite genre.

By Subhash on 5/6/2020

I have taken all the courses available by you. I am a dentist and my speciality is Orthodontist , I have literally no time to go to guitar school and learn as it clashes with my clinic schedule. Because of u and ur teaching I am able to learn guitar in my life and in the age of 37. All thanks to u that I am able to learn from ur hands.

By Fred Raszpir on 3/10/2020

Henry, I played guitar almost 30 years ago and decided with my early retirement to restart. I like blues and therefor a beginner course associated to blues caught my attention. I think the way you are guiding your students is matching very well my level of knowledge - I really enjoyed it.

By Rob Willard on 8/12/2019

This course is awesome! I tried to learn to play when I was younger never took proper lessons it was always a friend trying to teach me but I never really got it. I thought it was me, figured I'd never be able to play. Now I know what the real problem was I never had a good teacher, until now....

By Brian Sexton on 3/12/2016

This is a great course for getting started with blues guitar or even just getting started with playing guitar at all. Henry tells you just enough about guitars, form, and some blues basics for you to get started quickly, he follows his music instruction segments with play-along segments that you can repeat for practice, and he does it all with a friendly, easy-to-follow style that encourages you to keep going, both through the course and afterward.
