Course Description

     In this course you will learn all the basic techniques for playing lead guitar in the traditional blues style - as heard on the recordings from the 1950s and 1960s.  Lessons cover all the most important concepts and skills needed to play solos, fills, introductions, and end tags.  The course includes a section with lessons on the the specific techniques commonly used in traditional blues guitar - including string bends, double stops, vibrato, palm muting, slides, hammering on and pulling off the strings.  There is also a section to teach you how to play in every position on different parts of the guitar neck.   

    To help you learn the ideas taught in the first part of the course, there is a special section with more than 50 examples of classic blues licks from the masters of traditional electric blues guitar - a veritable "Lick Encyclopedia" to get you started playing this kind of music.    This section features short lessons demonstrating and explaining specific examples of licks by Freddy King, Pee Wee Crayton, T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy, Jimmy Rogers, Little Milton, Otis Rush, BB King, and many others!  There is enough blues guitar taught here to keep you busy learning for months!   

    Course comes with FREE downloadable booklet containing diagrams and TABS of ALL examples taught in the videos!  

     For the money, this may very well be the BEST blues guitar lesson bargain on the market!   

*I highly recommend that you first complete part one of this course - Rhythm Guitar.   It's not absolutely necessary, but I think you will find this course much easier to understand lead guitar if you do!

This is one of the best guitar instructions in Udemy if you want to learn blues licks.

By Ted Kowalczyk on 8/30/2021

This is a major eye opener for me. Exactly what I needed to know. A great intro to lead guitar explained so clearly.

By Len Canter on 2/21/2021

Good licks !! Helpful explanations of many early blues licks . I'd recommend it before taking some of the other Blues courses because the course gives many ideas and examples that will be used later in other courses. Len C. Chico, CA

MEH. The most basic of instruction (this is a hammer-on, this is a pull-off, this is a bend, etc.). Other than that, it is just another lick collection. The instructor seemed knowledgeable, and the lick selection had some semi-obscure blues greats (like Tiny Grimes, Pee Wee Crayton, Eddie Taylor, etc.) but provides only the shortest possible licks. Also, there never seemed to be be any take twos. Some of the licks were played, well, sub-par. You are allowed to play a lick over if you mess up. While the instructor did explain where in the progression the lick was played, I doubt if I can apply much of the material to my own playing. Perhaps it says more about me than it does about the material? I would be unhappy if I had paid more than $10 for this. Of course, YMMV. I won't ask for a refund.
