Summary of This Method
This method is designed for all guitarists who want to add a true "blues feel" to their playing, with effective and immediately usable phrases. You will find 101 reference licks, presented as a toolbox: the goal is to build an arsenal of typical phrases to vary your responses in improvisation, restart a chorus, or simply add more character to an accompaniment. The layout favors a simple and practical organization, ideal for quickly picking a lick according to the style you are working on or the mood you want to create.
The content covers a wide range of the major blues guitar families: Delta blues, country blues, Memphis blues, Chicago blues, Texas blues, West Coast blues, jump blues, not to mention British blues. Each aesthetic brings its own colors: rougher and more expressive attacks, more urban phrasing, stronger swing, or even more modern and powerful tones. By working on these licks, you develop not only your vocabulary but also your sense of nuance (bends, vibrato, articulation), your rhythmic placement, and your ability to "speak blues" in different contexts.
The demo CD is a real asset for assimilating the musical intention: listening to the examples helps you understand how a lick breathes, how it fits into a progression, and how to make it sound natural rather than rehearsed. The result: you gain confidence to play in jam sessions, build more coherent solos, and adapt more easily to different bands and tempos, all while staying true to the blues codes.
