Following your link to the course I see the following subscription charge and all but two of the videos are locked

Itâs worth the $10. I bought it about 10 or more years ago on DVD.
One hint when you go through it. All the lessons are in the Key of E and are interchangeable so once youâve mastered a technique you can use it in other lesson to change up the songs. Make sure to add all the turnarounds to your full time blues playing.

Definitely worth it ⌠I bought the DVD many moons back and more recently bought it again online as itâs more convenient now PCs donât have DVD drives.

My bad. I had it in mind that the course was free on the site now and had been for some time. It seems I was mistaken. It used to be a 3 DVD disc set, a physical product.
If you want to hear the various blues pieces, there a quite a lot of covers from students who learned and shared their recordings here. Guitar Challenge (Blues Study Pieces) - Solo Blues Guitar (Justin Sandercoe)
Thanks @Richard_close2u , no worries about the fee, Iâm sure it is worth it and I may well purchase at some point, I have put the song on the back burner for a little while but must start on practicing blues shuffles fingerstyle.

Do you mean playing the rhythm using open position 7th chords?
You be the judge - if it sounds good it is good.
Justin thats a good cover but you wont beat the Blues Brothers !

A few things: (1) Iâve always thought you could interpret âLand of Californiaâ as metaphorical. Something that is a land of safety and almost mythical to black sharecroppers from Mississippi and the south, kind of like Diddy Wah Diddy or âthe Land of Jordanâ in black preaching. (2)I put the song in Transcribe just now to slow it down, and it seems like itâs in F. Do you think Robert is using a capo, an out of tune guitar, or just an old record makes things sharp? (3) it also seems like he sometimes just plays the open G and doesnât hammer on the G#, but itâs hard to tell. He is very intentional at playing the G string only once at the beginning of the E shuffle pattern but twice at the end every time he does it. (4) Iâve heard that he is one of the very first guitar players to do this boogie shuffle, particularly on the A where he goes slides his finger up a fret and back down to get that sound of going from the 6th to the 7th. Thatâs pretty cool!
