About The Series

This series of lessons takes a single 12-bar, shuffle blues solo, and breaks it down into 3 levels of difficulty.

Soloing to a shuffle blues song is a difficult thing to get used to because of the non-typical beat, but this series of lessons takes you from a very simplified version of the solo, all the way through the advanced difficulty lesson. 

This is a great way for a beginner to ramp up to the advanced level.  Since each level is based on the same 12-bar solo, you don’t have to switch gears as you improve.  Rather you can improve your ability to play this one solo with more accuracy and precision.

This is the beginner lesson in this series.  The solo is broken down into several easy to play blues licks.  As with the slow blues solo series, this beginner lesson is very basic. 

There’s not very much speed or bending used in this lesson so it’s easy to follow along with.
