Learn chord voicings, fingerboard harmony and single-string soloing techniques, with various styles covered, from the urban blues of B.B.

We’ll dive into alternate chord cycles and rhythm playing and work with transcriptions to develop strong melodic solos. Prerequisites: familiarity with the 12-bar blues progression, ability to play barre chords in several shapes, basic knowledge of the minor pentatonic scale, some picking facility.
