We have two new premium guitar lessons that will teach you all about the Five Pentatonic Scale Forms and Variations of the Blues Scale. Both lessons cover the basic construction of the scale, different forms of the scale, and how to link the forms together. We then show you how to use the scale to solo over an appropriate jam track. If you’re just starting to create your own blues guitar solos, these are invaluable tips.

Roger “Hurricane” Wilson’s newest lesson combines learning a guitar lick with a little bit of blues history. This guitar lick is based on a traditional Blues Moan. You’ll notice a “call and response” feel and a “tension and release” nature to the lick. Download the video and view the tab for this lick here.
