1

Dirty Blues

6 lessons with videos and notes

Welcome to level one of our Electric Blues Essentials series! In this course we will be taking you through the beautiful world of electric blues guitar, covering lead, rhythm and the theory to help you play like The Greats!

2

7th Chords & The 12 Bar

6 lessons with videos and notes

In unit 2 we dive into the theory that makes up our blues base, the dominant 7th chords and the 12 bar format. For the dominant 7th chords we tackle the theory behind the shapes and then how to play them in 5 positions of the neck.

3

Major & Minor Scale

5 lessons with videos and notes

In unit 3 we will be coming back to our lead guitar playing and talking in depth about the major and minor crossover in the blues. We can use both the major pentatonic of the key, and the minor pentatonic of the key to create tasty licks!

4

Keys & Turnarounds

5 lessons with videos and notes

In unit 4 we will be tackling the infamous “turnaround” as well as bringing together all your knowledge so far to be comfortable in any key. We also take a look at the “quick change” blues.

5

"Motivational Blues"

5 lessons with videos and notes

For our final unit we will really push you, with a classic blues style solo utilising all of the lead theory we have been working with on this course.

Don't take our word for it.

Best site I've found for learning guitar and I've tried most of the big names. The difference here is the lessons are structured around what you need to do to improve and provide clear ways to practice.

Sam

I've been playing guitar for years, but have never properly understood how to take my playing to the next level. Then I stumbled upon Guitar Club, and I am so grateful to Dan and the YGA team for their brilliantly structured and inspirational guidance and lessons. This is exactly what I was looking for, and I am pleased to say that my playing has taken a big leap forward.

Chris

I could sit down and write positives about this guitar teaching site for ages! There are no negatives to write about. Every teacher on this course is genuinely passionate about what they do and this reflects on my learning.
