Big annoucement & 12-bar blues video…

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Hey what’s up? I got a big announcement and a cool new blues video for you.

Check it out…

New blues video… How To Play A Simple, 12-Bar Blues (Using Dominant 9ths)

Here’s what I’m playing the video. Note: the //// marks are called “slash notation.” (And no, it doesn’t have anything to do with “Slash” the guitarist). It simply means you can play any rhythm you want as long as you stay within time signature. (In this case, it 4/4 time. Also called, “common time”).

I also briefly mention (and play this chord)…

Cheers!

Guitar Theory Lesson

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

As you know, I launched Blues Guitar Secrets Dec 12, 2006. And when I finished the course, I asked for feedback from my customers… 95.3% said they’d “recommend the course to friend.” That rocks! But I did get a lot of questions about various aspects of blues guitar theory.

So, I’m working on a new project that’s going to answer tons of those guitar questions. I should have it ready in a couple of weeks. Here’s a sneak-peak of what’s coming. (This is one of the actual videos from the new “project”).

If you’re a Blues Guitar Secrets owner, make sure you have your course-books in front of you. If you’re not a BGS owner, you’ll still be able to learn a lot just by watching the video!

BGS available Jan 17

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Hey folks,

Super-quick note to let you know that Blues Guitar Secrets is going to be available again on Wednesday, Jan 17 at 8:00AM. It’s been 4 weeks since we had to pull down the web site and stop taking orders because it completely sold out!

So, if you’re interested in learning how to play the blues, you should definately grab your copy of Wednesday because there’s a healthy chance that it could sell out again.

You can grab your copy of Blues Guitar Secrets here:

It’s only been a month and the people are starting to see REAL results! Here’s a few of the comments I’ve received lately…

I had trouble understanding playing scales
all over the fretboard and how scales relate
to chords - within a very short time I
understood the concept. I can now improvise
blues riffs and am getting the sound I was
after. I haven’t finished the course yet but
I am confident that I am going to progress
very quickly as everything is explained and
demonstrated so clearly.

Here’s a another one…

I have always been weak at comping - laying
down a good and interesting rhythm pattern
and your course has really helped me improve.
It’s helped my soloing too. I have
recommended this course to several of my
friends.

Clair Hardy

And here’s a another…

At this point I am fluent in ALL of the
pentatonic and blues scales you provided in
the books. I am now using them in a 1-2-3
sequence. This helps me remember them and
builds finger strength and speed.

I’ve been around guitars for a lot of years,
in many cases flying blind, listening over-
and-over to figure out riffs, progressions ,
etc. Your course has helped me to link
things together. I find myself listening to
other players and literally picking up their
note progressions without even trying.

What was once very difficult is now coming
more easily. Thanks!
