Unit 1
Slow Blues Groove
We kick off the course with an intricate slow blues rhythm track. We'll go deep into the theory behind 12/8 time signatures, learn the progression and how to bring 9th, 13ths and various chromatic ideas into your slow blues grooves!
Unit 2
7th Arpeggios
n our second unit, we learn a crucial set of arpeggios that we can use to expand our blues soloing, and even chord playing. Learning dominant 7th arpeggios allows us to target chord tones as we move through our 12 bar blues progression.
Unit 3
Slow Blues Solo
Up next we have an absolute cracker for anyone who loves a bit of blues lead! We take the chord track from unit 1 and learn a sublime slow blues solo over the top. The solo has everything in it!
Unit 4
One Man Band
In our final unit, we bring it all together by learning a "one-man-band" style of slow blues. Our aim is to internalise that 12/8 groove, and be able to play the chords and lead intertwined, whilst keeping the foot tapping and the feel flowing.
Welcome to the second installment of our Blues Guitar Essentials course. In this course we continue where we left off in level one and we bring you new arpeggios, new concepts new theory and loads of new bluesy gold! The main focus that ties this entire course together is the mastery of slow blues.

After that we build your dominant 7 chord and arpeggio knowledge with an epic across the neck exercise that will have you flying across the fretboard! Unit 3 dives into sublime slow blues lead using everything you've learnt so far to play a beautiful classic blues solo, and understand everything that's gone into creating it.
