Jazz blues lick - We Swing!
Slowing down songs is another great way to learn from records and your song collection. I use Song Surgeon, which works really well for this. Check it out. |
Guitar Lesson Overview
Here is a great little jazz blues guitar lick, which sounds great from the 1 in a 12 bar blues. It works both for a jazz blues or a regular blues guitar shuffle. You can experiment with the technique too - I use hammer-ons and pull-offs a lot when I play, but you can of course pick every note if you prefer. See what works best for you, and if you have any questions, let me know.

Guitar Theory Made Simple!
Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.

Guitar Pro
I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.
Video Clips
I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.
Comments on this video lesson:
Great sounding link. Is there more to it? It sounds familiar and I would like to learn the rest of the song if there is one. Please advise.
