A Handpicked Collection from 18 Years of Teaching Blues Guitar
I've been teaching guitar since 2007, and with over 40 courses to my name, I know it can be tough to figure out where to start.
So I put together The Best of the Blues — a collection of over 25 lessons pulled from some of my most popular courses on blues rhythm and soloing.

- Blues Jam Companion Favorites Dial in the best options for playing a number of blues classics, so you're ready to hold your own at your local blues jam.
