Course Description

An essential study to help take your blues playing to new heights!

This 14-part series of lessons, taught by top UK session guitarist, Bobby Harrison, is the third instalment of our Blues Guitar series. We’ve learned how to solo over both a shuffle groove and a slow blues progression, but now it’s time to turn our attention to minor blues playing.

The focus here is how to solo over minor or minor 7th chords, as opposed to the dominant 7th progressions we’ve grown accustomed to. There are several differences in both mood and note choice, especially since we no longer have the luxury of mixing both the major and minor pentatonic scales; and as for our old friend, the major third, avoid that fella like the plague when soloing over a minor blues progression!

We will learn a mean 36-bar solo, containing countless blues licks that you can incorporate into your own playing, as well as a cool, ZZ Top inspired minor blues rhythm guitar part. Bobby also shows us scale, arpeggio and chord-tone ideas for soloing over a minor blues progression.

This instructor goes over the material enough times so that you can really get a feel for music.

By Guy Beaugez on 1/13/2018

I just caught on to something,don’t know how I never caught that before

By Mark Prichard on 7/1/2017

Really like all the FretHub courses - nice pace with lots of solo ideas and plenty of useful theory as well, but introduced as part of the play along. Fun presenter and the course covers the key scales and theory, rhythm basics and an extended solo.

By Marc Cerrato on 6/14/2017

Vey well explained in details.

By J M on 11/30/2016

I would appreciate if you have established/laid out the complete chords of the entire song so student can follow along before diving on to licks/solo. Which licks are playing that corresponds to chords. Overall, this tutorial is awesome...tons of licks to learn from it!

By John Paul on 2/18/2016

Follows the last volume seamlessly ... Very detailed ...
