This lesson is all about mastering the art of solo Blues guitar - a style that lets you create a full, rich sound all by yourself – no backing track or singing required. It’s like having a whole band at your fingertips!
Thank you Teacher for making some Blues accessible/approachable/attainable for me (all the 3 options from Google translator work fine )
You know the Blues is not my thing, but it’s super cool I will have a couple of Blues Arrangements in my Repertoire.
I think it’s very unlikely this will be a starting point for me to get deeper into the Blues and what it involves, like improvising for example (I’m a “Classical girl” after all ), but…there’s a but…I checked the Primer Lesson and as you were playing I was following along with my eyes on the musicsheet on the screen and I thought: “I can learn this”. Then I re-watched and re-listened and I thought that learning the arrangement shouldn’t be difficult by applying my “nerd-like approch” *.
Now I hope I’m not being too bold…let’s see what I can do! I’m planning to start working on it in October. What matters is that it’s gonna be fun!
*my nerd-like approach being defined as my personal interpretation of all your precious teachings (well…only those I’ve been able to understand) plus the way I love my daily practice routine to be and how I live my guitar journey plus the general knowledge I’m building along the way, primarily from the direct experience on the instrument.
It’s about time, Sylvia. See you on the otherside of the crossroad very soon.
Yes ! Silvia is joining us in the blues wagon
Hahaha … yes yes you can wait for me
Excellent primer as prep for the full thing - and really helpful idea to practice the individual bars for a few days before trying to put the whole thing together. I also found it helpful to practice pairs of bars (3,4 then 5,6 etc). I’ve been working on thumb-finger independence and this makes it lots of musical fun!
Just to check my theory, the thumb primer is in E dorian? (E F# G A B C# D), so the second mode of D.
Thanks Justin. This is great. Love the blues.
