Blues

 

Blues music is the foundation of contemporary western music (jazz, rock, pop, soul, funk, RnB and more). The importance of Blues music can’t be overstated. That’s why we’ve put together a comprehensive Blue guitar lesson program here on Guitar Tricks.

If you’re serious about learning how to play guitar in this style, head to the Blues Style Course 1 and Blue Style Course 2 lessons. There, you will be shown step by step how to play the different blues feels, chord progressions, styles and solos. Otherwise, below is a comprehensive a-la-cart serving of our Blues Style lessons. If you are wanting a quick tutorial on different Blues guitar chords and voicings, if you are wanting to learn how to play guitar in a particular Blues rhythm, or want to quickly get to the guitar soloing techniques you hear the greats play, there will be a video lesson here for you.

Additionally, here at Guitar Tricks we understand the value of Blues music across the musical landscape as well as on the guitar itself. That’s why we’ve put here an essay of “The Origins Of Blues Music.” When learning an artform such as Blues guitar, knowing the why is just as important as knowing the how. Understanding why certain techniques are used, or why Delta Blues sounds different than Chicago Blues will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of the genre, and enable you to play the style more authentically.
