This is something that’s been months in the making.. and I’m just really stoked to finally get to tell you about it.
A few days ago I uploaded a MASSIVE amount of new content to the Playing Through The Blues members area.
Imagine taking all the stuff that was in the current PTTB, and doing the same thing with chords and rhythm.
How about over 90 minutes of new video footage?!
How about 18 HUGE new lessons?!
Here’s some of the things you’ll see in the new course material:
- How to play 7th chords (the most common blues chords) in 4 different ways, all over the neck
- How to play 9th chords in 3 different ways, all over the neck
- How to groove like Clapton does in ‘I’m Tore Down’
- How to use your right hand to get that cool pop like ZZ Top does in ‘La Grange’
- How to get your right hand “train rhythm” happening like Stevie does on ‘Pride & Joy’
- How to make your blues chords smaller, easier, and cooler … instantly (this one trick will get you a call back to your next jam session)
- At least 4 blues comping patterns (think - what you’ll play behind the singer or soloist) that you can take to the bank and use tonight on just about any tune you play
- How to substitute 9th, 11th, 13th, and altered chords in place of your tired old 7th chords.
- How to play through a minor blues like ‘The Thrill is Gone’ by B.B. King.
- The easiest and best riff to play over a slow blues in any key - and how to speed it up for a killer shuffle (think ‘Empty Arms’ by SRV)
- The Jam Session Standards - Blues in E, Blues in A, Blues in D. Find your area’s next open blues jam and get over there, or call your buddies and tell them to bring the refreshments.
- How to bring Jazz and Blues together to really add cool twists to your rhythm and chord playing.
- How funk and blues together create a killer groove that folks love to listen to.
And, of course, there’s a bunch more stuff I can’t think of off the top of my head.
Oh, and one more thing, the price is still the same…. for now.
But I’ll be honest, it won’t be for long.
If I were to put all this stuff in the real world it would be over 150 pages of printed text, 3 DVDs, and 2 CDs. My current price of $37 is a joke. So it’s going up to $47, which is still a joke when you figure this is like a YEAR’s worth of free lessons which would cost you a grand total of $3120.
A lot of my friends have been reading my nonsense now for a long time, and I really appreciate it. So check back here over the next couple of days and I’ll post some stuff from the new material so you can make an educated decision on whether or not it’s for you.
Bottom line, if you practice and follow my stuff, you’ll play good and blow people away. I have students that started on this stuff less than a year ago that now just sit down with a clapton cd and play along. They’re having a ball and I want the same for you.
If you’re the kind of guy who collects books and DVDs and internet courses and doesn’t practice, then please DON’T BUY MY STUFF. Honestly, I don’t want the guilt (my wife’s Italian and therefore I am by marriage - the guilt comes with the territory.)
Also, if you’re a total beginner, this ain’t for you. However, if you at least know a few chords and can strum a bit, you should be good to go now, and I definitely could not say that before. The first 5 lessons in the rhythm & chords module will give you a really solid place to start with the blues. The rest are just really fun.
Alright, enough of my ranting, I’ll post more stuff soon.
As always, leave comments so I can answer questions or make changes/additions.
