Traditional Style Electric Blues Guitar - Part 2/Lead Guitar

Part 2 - Playing Lead

What you'll learn

Students will be able to solo and play fills in a variety of keys and traditional blues styles.

Requirements

You should have completed the first lesson - on rhythm guitar - and/or have intermediate guitar skills.

Description

     In this course you will learn all the basic techniques for playing lead guitar in the traditional blues style - as heard on the recordings from the 1950s and 1960s.  Lessons cover all the most important concepts and skills needed to play solos, fills, introductions, and end tags.  The course includes a section with lessons on the the specific techniques commonly used in traditional blues guitar - including string bends, double stops, vibrato, palm muting, slides, hammering on and pulling off the strings.  There is also a section to teach you how to play in every position on different parts of the guitar neck.   
    To help you learn the ideas taught in the first part of the course, there is a special section with more than 50 examples of classic blues licks from the masters of traditional electric blues guitar - a veritable "Lick Encyclopedia" to get you started playing this kind of music.    This section features short lessons demonstrating and explaining specific examples of licks by Freddy King, Pee Wee Crayton, T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy, Jimmy Rogers, Little Milton, Otis Rush, BB King, and many others!  There is enough blues guitar taught here to keep you busy learning for months!   
    Course comes with FREE downloadable booklet containing diagrams and TABS of ALL examples taught in the videos!  
     For the money, this may very well be the BEST blues guitar lesson bargain on the market!   
*I highly recommend that you first complete part one of this course - Rhythm Guitar.   It's not absolutely necessary, but I think you will find this course much easier to understand lead guitar if you do!
