Summary of This Method

This method offers you a step-by-step approach to learning John Lee Hooker's style and technique by focusing on several of his essential songs. The goal is clear: to immerse you in the heart of his blues, between boogie pulse, effective repetitive riffs, and his typical vocal-instrumental phrasing. By working piece by piece, you develop right-hand automatism, rhythmic stability, and a sense of "drive" essential for playing credible blues without unnecessary technical overload.

The content is based on an international blues-oriented repertoire, with a selection of varied tracks allowing you to explore different colors of Hooker's playing: driving boogies, slower blues, and minimalist grooves that let each note breathe. This approach is ideal for guitarists wishing to expand their accompaniment skills, improve their sense of timing, and integrate licks directly reusable in jams, rehearsals, or on stage.

You will find notably: Blues Before Sunrise, Boogie Chillen No. 2, Boom Boom, Bottle Up and Go, Catfish Blues, Dimples, Hoogie Boogie, It Serves Me Right to Suffer, Mama, You Got a Daughter, Moaning Blues, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer, This Is Hip (This Is It), Tupelo (Tupelo Blues), and Wednesday Evening Blues. An excellent foundation to build a roots, effective, and immediately recognizable blues sound on guitar.
