Beginner Blues Guitar Lessons

 

I’ve just finished looking at Griff Hamlin's latest package, Playing Through The Blues - A Guide For The Lead Guitar Player.

 

Most of the time, when reviewing new products, I am less than impressed. However, this product has excited me quite well because it is so different from anything I have seen in a long time. That is why I have taken the time to sit and type a letter to all the people I know and tell you all about it.

 

Can YOU Become a Ripping Blues Guitar Player?

 

Beginning blues guitar can be a frustrating. It seems so simple, but only a handful of people seem to know the tricks to really making it sound great. Griff and his team have put together what I believe is a really thorough, step-by-step method that has actually been tested and proven on his own guitar students over the past several years.

 

The main book provides all of the techniques, theory, scales, and tricks that you'll need. It follows a logical and simple progression.

 

Each chapter builds on the one before it. At the end of each chapter,you'll be told exactly what you need to be able to do before moving on to the next chapter. You can't fail with this. Stick to it, and it will be worth it.

 

However, the best part is the audio examples and jam tracks. Every audio example comes with a slow speed and a full speed version, so you can play along easily at first, and pick up the pace as you get better.

 

There's also four complete solos that really sound like they are from your favorite blues songs. You could memorize them and totally use them at your next blues jam or gig. All of the techniques are demonstrated throughout the book, and provide a very good "real world" example of the techniques and approach.

 

There are also 6 jam tracks that come with the package, so once you get going you can just play along with the band. And the tracks are really very good quality, just like you're jamming with a real band. It's a lot of fun.

 

As a bonus, Griff has included an excellent book full of turnaround and ending licks. Some of them are pretty straight forward blues, but a couple of them are real head-turners. Either way, it provides you with excellent groundwork from which to grow and expand your repetoire.

 

I am very impressed with this package as a whole. The testimonials on the website prove that I'm not alone. This is a well thought out, tested, and well put together system.

 

I highly recommend this beginning blues guitar package. However, don’t just take my word for it though, take a look for yourself at:

 

Playing Through The Blues

 

All the best,
