Course Description

Welcome to Easy Blues Guitar Crash Course. This is a complete beginner guitar course that will quickly have you playing real blues guitar. You'll learn the chords and structure of major Delta-style blues, the rhythm & strumming of the swing feel, the basic blues terms, turnaround riffs, ways to embellish your chords, and how to properly solo over blues progressions & songs!

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

Even though most blues only has three chords, there are endless possibilities for chord variations & soloing. You'll learn important blues theory so you can always get the most out of your chords & solos.

Many of these lessons have a PDF attachment. These PDFs are the tabs, chords, and text lessons. You can download, save, & print these. Be sure to get all the PDFs.

The sections in this course are:

Blues Guitar Lessons - These are the main lessons for this course. Here, you'll find all of the tools you'll need to understand, play, and jam blues guitar by yourself or with others.

Jam Tracks - These are blues backing tracks in various keys with chord charts and solo diagrams on the screen. This section is for you to practice everything that you've learned in the Blues Guitar Lessons section. This is the fun part of playing blues guitar - the actual jamming!

I'm glad you're here - let's begin.

I need things to be written down, so they will be easier to understand.

By Christopher Chestnut on 1/1/2025

This is an excellent introduction to the blues. The instructor presents the material in a manner that is easy to follow and I am picking up everything very quickly. I would recommend this course to any guitarist who wants to begin learning the blues.

Reverse my playing

By Richard Potts on 1/25/2021

Always gives a good and enjoyable lesson

By Richard Lang on 1/22/2021

Up to this point, there's been only one thing I didn't know and which I will take away - the dominant 7th arpeggios instead of the pentatonics for soloing. That one I will burn into my brain and practice in different keys. But this should be advertised as basic for relatively new players. Let's see if my opinion changes through the final hours

By Mollie Dishal on 9/25/2020

Excellent instruction by a master teacher---step-by-step---easy to understand---Dan has a steady and even manner of teaching that allows the student to truly grasp each concept---great resources---great blues crash course and jam tracks to practice concepts learned---do not hesitate to sign up---with Dan's courses you will learn so much and be able to confidently apply it all!

By H B on 8/27/2020

Like the way the instructor simplifies the concepts into easily understandable, short chunks. Especially the theory parts.

By Jean Kurnik on 1/18/2020

This course is fun! Dan takes it slow enough and provides material that enabled me to stay engaged and truly learn all of the content well.

By Arnie Campo on 1/3/2020

It’s enjoyable and straight forward

By Jim Hefling on 12/10/2019

This sounds like exactly what I have been looking for.
