New Solo Blues course - chit chat

Hahaha he most certainly does :rofl: and that was one of the reasons that I opted out at this time as I have a lot of Robert Johnson songs to learn.

As for the MatchMySound that all very good but it doesn’t give you feedback on feel and to me the blues is all about feel.

BLIM is rather electric guitar blues. An emphasis on licks and soloing. Much more content.
ANd more, one player plays chords, the other can get wild all over the fretboard soloing. (You learn both parts)

Here, it’s one player who does it all, (and typically rather on an acoustic) but a bit simpler.

It’s great Dominique. We need to start a study group for blues acoustic

I updated it yesterday on the website…as I checked but couldn’t find a way to update it on the Community and I thought probably soon or later the system will match it automatically. Do you know a way to update it directly feom here?
The picture is really cool, isn’t it?

It makes me younger, with no white hair and improves other aspects too :laughing::sweat_smile::zany_face:

Thanks Mathieu! :folded_hands:

The new songs sound great, and I could definitely use a lot of help with my improvisation :laughing: I agree, I don’t think it was explained very clearly in the older course.

I think I prefer Guitar Pro too but yeah, I’ve always been happy with all the other JG courses I’ve purchased. :slight_smile:

Yes! that’s what I love about the Blues! Sometimes gives me goosebumps.
Plus it’s so fun to learn to play.
When I’m a bit more confident with the songs I might ask for feedback on the feel from the Community :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Thanks also again to Rogier @roger_holland and Silvia @Silvia80 :sunflower:
I think I’ll go ahead and buy it. Happy Christmas to me too :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Good morning Rogier :sun_with_face:…I wish you a lot of fun with the new course, in addition to that you wished to your own self :blush:

You know we’re all looking foward to see you playing The Blues…might be the only, most effective way to explain it, to inspire others…

Are there demos of the various pieces available before buying? All due respect to Justin’s compositional skills, I would be more inclined to buy the course if I knew that I actually liked the pieces.

It’s a shame Justin didn’t use well-known traditional pieces (like St. James’ Infirmary, Trouble in Mind, etc.), perhaps in his own arrangements that emphasize particular skills. Oh, well.

There are various places you can get a taste of the pieces.

Here is a long-standing legacy topic based on the older versions of the pieces when it was a DVD product: Guitar Challenge (Blues Study Pieces) - Solo Blues Guitar (Justin Sandercoe)

Thanks that’s very useful.

So the pieces are the same as the old course?

I haven’t seen the video lessons yet myself.

I think the pieces might be the same. It would seem Justin has extended from a short play through piece to a way of bursting beyond it and seeing each piece as a platform / framework for longer playing with improvisational opportunities. Of course, the MatchMySound is there also.

Hi interested people,

This might be useful information, :crossed_fingers:

In addition to the already 3 free and updated and truly improved versions of this course, 8 others have been divided into grade 4 and grade 5 and the updated lessons are divided per arrangement, each containing 3 lessons.

an example of a big addition what an arrangement looks like…
( @Richard_close2u is this foto oke?)


I expect that ā€œimprovisingā€ lesson will be extra interesting for many intermediate guitarists :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
I think All the rest of the extras are all in Justin’s description :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Greetings ,Rogier
