Are You Into The Blues?
I know I am! And that's an understatement.
Whilst I play many different styles, it is The Blues which first made me feel ‘at home’ musically. It's also the place I keep going back to!
Learn from scratch or improve your blues playing with me.
Lessons are 1-to-1 via Zoom - wherever your are!
I've taught hundreds of lessons with Zoom and I use all of the features to create a fantastic learning experience, including screen sharing, video and the mute feature for live play-alongs.
If you have a passion for The Blues and specifically want to learn electric blues guitar then this opportunity is for you!
Each lesson, you will learn bite-sized pieces of new ‘blues vocabulary’ - sets of notes and fretboard positions which you can use to improvise.
We will then learn & apply musical ‘feel’, expression and technique as we hone skills using our ‘new vocabulary’, building upon it week after week.
It's like learning a language: you learn vocabulary and phrases, then learn how to use them to communicate and express yourself.
Along the way, we'll learn about the culture and norms of the country we are preparing to visit ('Blues-land').
See the connection?
The end game is three-fold:
As we go, we'll learn the finer details of blues playing - looking at phrasing, shaping single notes, using bends, chokes, vibrato, percussive elements etc.
We will reference famous players for inspiration.
We will also consider different roles of blues playing - lead, rhythm, chord-lead, chord-melody etc.
A short lesson summary video will be made for you during the lesson for you to download and/or stream afterwards. This will help you to focus your practise time.
Finally, all of my teaching is bespoke to you! I'll meet you where you are with your playing and help you move forward according to what you need to learn and practise.
