Roger Hurricane Wilson has a new lesson available that will teach you a beginner blues shuffle. We’ll use power chords to play a 1-4-5 progression of E, A, and B. Roger will walk you through a variety of different rhythms and tempos you can use to play this and simulate several blues styles. We’ll also learn an intermediate level turnaround lick to play at the end of the progression. This lesson can be played on an acoustic or electric guitar. To get the tab check out the lesson page.
Premier Guitar has a new Albert King style lesson called Bendin the Blues. It covers six different licks that showcase some of the different types of bends that Albert used. Below I’ve included the audio and tab for lick 4 from that lesson. If you want to learn more about Albert King’s bending licks and would like some video instruction, check out Guy Fenocchi’s In the Style of Albert King premium lesson.
Roger Wilson had previously released a premium lesson on Roy Buchanan that touched on Roy’s country side of guitar. In the Style of Roy Buchanan Lessons 2 & 3 will switch over to his more traditional blues style. Lesson 2 will teach you a song intro and the third lesson will pick right up from there. Roger will guide you through playing each section in detail. Below are demo videos for both lessons. I’ve also included a Youtube version of Roy’s classic tune “After Hours”
Jody has created a new blues guitar solo video for Youtube. He improvised a solo over a jam track of “Third Degree” and then went back and tabbed the whole thing out. Which is kind of insane once you see how intense the solo gets. Take a look for yourself and then take a stab at playing it.
In two previous lessons Peter Vogl has taught you how to combine chords and riffs into Acoustic Blues Songs in Am and Em. Our third installment in this series will cover the key of E major. E Acoustic Blues – Chords & Melody is a fun progression to play and can be performed as a solo piece or as an intro to a song. Check out the demo to hear sample sections.
