Summary of This Method
Smokin' Joe Kubek, a legend of Texas Blues guitar, and Dave Rubin have teamed up to create this unique method. Designed for guitarists who want to develop an authentic blues vocabulary, it focuses on concrete and directly usable elements: licks, riffs, and techniques. The goal is to help you build effective phrases, better understand how typical Texas Blues ideas are structured, and gain confidence in your playing, whether accompanying or soloing.
The method combines standard notation and tablature, allowing you to work on rhythmic reading, understanding placements, and visualization on the fretboard. This dual notation is ideal for structured progress: you follow the score on paper while linking each figure to its instrumental execution.
The included DVD (1h 08) complements the learning by providing the essentials: audio and visual examples. You can observe the playing, phrasing, and timing, then reproduce the passages using the sheet music. An excellent choice if you are looking for a blues guitar method focused on practical work, designed to effectively develop your riffs and technique in the Texas Blues spirit.
