Probably The Most Valuable FREE Blues Guitar Lesson You’ll Ever Take - With TAB!
Here’s a 100% FREE, in depth blues guitar lesson with on-screen tab, taught by Bobby Harrison. In this tutorial, we will learn 15 essential blues licks in the context of a 12 bar blues solo over a shuffle groove in the good old-fashioned key of A.
Our solo spans two choruses (twice around the 12 bar progression) and features many classic blues licks and phrases in the styles of B.B. King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King and Albert Collins.
These 15 licks feature classic blues tonality, along with chord tones that really highlight the changes. These are all extremely usable ideas that you can incorporate into your own playing. Each lick breakdown features on-screen tab
In addition to learning the solo, we’re also going to cover a very cool rhythm guitar part that you can try out next time you find yourself at a blues jam. Enjoy!
The lick and solo tutorial starts at 10:15.

For a full range of blues guitar lessons, featuring HD video tutorials, downloadable, high quality backing tracks, tab, standard notation and fretboard diagrams, check out our website at www.absolutebluesguitar.com
This short, free tutorial merely scratches the surface of blues guitar and is not part of our website, since it was made to promote the course after launch. However, full tab and backing track for this lesson are available to full members on request. Our website offers a HUGE, in-depth guitar course featuring hours of tuition material designed to have you improvising blues authentically.
I use Hawk Picks and Elixir Nanoweb 10-52 strings.
I am left-handed, but the video has been horizontally flipped in order to make it easier for most “normal” players to follow.

After watching probably a 1000 videos on here I have to say this 1 is by far the best. Great player and teacher very easy to understand and he doesn't leave you hanging wondering what the hell comes next. I'm now finally learning something worthwhile thank you so much.

There are simply not enough comments on KZfaq praising Bobby for his exceptional and indispensable online blues guitar course. This video does a great job of showing that he teaches not just technique and execution, but really gets across the soulfulness of a really wonderful blues solo while showing how to express that “feeling.” I can’t recommend highly enough. I have no affiliation other than that I’m taking the course and am loving it!

Agree. Definitely a solo worth copying. Chock full of classic blues elements. My fave is the run-on descending lick in bars 7&8 of the second chorus.

I am so happy I stumbled on to this lesson. "When the student is ready the teacher shall appear". Bobby is obviously a very talented guitar player, but that alone does not make a good teacher. His ability to explain what he's doing and why is outstanding, which is so important for any type of online lessons. The pace of his lessons for me is also just right, in that Goldilocks zone. Awesome! I've signed up. Do it people!

This is a GREAT intro to playing a 12 bar Blues solo! The V (or Five) chord licks are especially good and it all sounds so slick and impressive with lick No.8 being so well constructed starting on an E note and resolving to an E note! 15 quid a month for your Blues course is a steal. Folks, Bobby knows his stuff!

Great lesson with well played examples and really well thought out too as it covers a good range of the neck which really helps build up the frame work for improvising. Soloing in major keys has been difficult for me but this has just expanded my vocabulary nicely & illustrates how to use more than one scale as well as blues basic principles. . Changed My Life !! :D

Kinda like Chopin teaching a five year old how to play "Chopsticks" on the piano! Great stuff, man. Wonderful teacher! Many thanks!
