Welcome to Play Blues Guitar 1: Quick-Start for Beginners - the first stop on your TrueFire Learning Path journey towards becoming a solid Blues guitar player. If you already know several chords and strumming patterns, and can also play some songs and single note lines, then you're ready to take on this quick-start guitar course. Otherwise, please check out TrueFire's Learn Guitar courses to get a grip on those basic skills. This Blues Learning Path core course is presented by 3 top TrueFire educators: Jeff McErlain, Corey Congilio, and Jeff Scheetz. They'll guide your development of the essential skills and get up and running quickly - no reading music, no boring exercises, no tedious theory to struggle through. In fact, you'll play your way through the entire course. You'll start off the course learning a classic blues shuffle in the key of A. You'll also learn a 12-bar blues in E that's used in thousands of blues songs. 7th Chords are a blues staple and you'll learn 6 of them and then use those 7th chords in 2 Blues songs. You'll wrap up the course learning a cool blues lick and your first blues turnaround. The educators demonstrate all of the key examples over jam tracks (where and when applicable) to simulate a real-world application, in a musical context. All of the key examples are also tabbed and notated for your practice, reference and study purposes. You'll also get Guitar Pro files so that you can play, loop or slow down the tab and notation as you work through the lessons. Plus, you'll have all of the available jam tracks to work with on your own. Take as much time as you need to work through each video guitar lesson before moving on to the next lesson.
