Great introduction to playing Blues

I only wish video courses like this would have been available 35 years ago, where could I be now. Looking forward to intermediate version.

10 lesson blues challenge

So much content in here and the playing permutations are endless. I’m playing like a beginner but I’m just gonna keep on to my heart’s content.

Daniel Moran verified

Great licks!

Learning really fun and nice sounding licks to play over the 12 pattern…just great!

Bite Size Learning Pays OFF!!!

For years I have struggled to play the Blues. I know the Blues Scales but just couldn't put it together. This program breaks things down into manageable pieces that you can build upon. My Blues playing is slowly coming together. Using the backing track takes things to another level. Great program.

Zoran Milenkovic verified

Fun and suprising

Excellent course. Very methodical approach. Jonny May has found a very clever way how to guide a student into a difficult world of improvisation. Hats off to him!

Bodo Schmidt verified

my first course

this was my first course and I learned a lot - still need to practice all of it, but it starts to make fun playing around...

Marina Hopkins verified

Great start for improvising

Freedom from following music all the time as per my classical training.

Gregory Jahangiri verified

Better than I expected!

Ursula Genesi verified

I really enjoyed the challenge.

Rebecca Leek verified

I learned so much and this changed my playing

The things I learned about blues playing on this course have stayed with me and are now part of my playing. I don't even practice that much (I should practice a lot more than I do). It was easy to follow, and I feel ready to progress to the next level of blues playing.
