Blues Guitar Lessons For Texas Blues Fans

5 Essential Blues Boxes

Blues Soloing Without Scales

You'll never sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan using blues scales. That's because he didn't study, or play scales to get his sound. He studied and played licks. There's a big difference.

Many of the licks he played can be captured in 5 simple shapes. They're not scales, just guidelines. This is a shortcut, and it's not for everyone, but if you can't make your scales sound great, you might be working too hard.

Improved In Days...

I play now guitar for 2 years and I have tried to squeeze something musical out of the 5 pentatonic pattern ever so hard, but without a real success. Yout great analysis of the tonal material used in blues opened my eyes. So during the last few days my playing has become a lot better than during the months before - Thomas (Germany)

Lesson 8 Preview

When I made the final lesson in this series, I decided to release it for free because people loved the series so much. In it, I teach a pattern that connects the bottom of the 5 Boxes and allows for quickly ascending the neck from 4 different positions.
