In this video I'll show you my approach to using Dominant 7 chords for Blues rhythm playing. I'll also show you how I "deconstruct" them by creating inversions and how to create fun and useful rhythm parts for getting out of a rut!

As I continue developing my guitar playing skills from several of your guitar lessons / courses on TrueFire, through your website and also KZfaq, I discovered why I have learned and applied much from you very quickly. It is because you teach through the thought process as if learning this chord sequence, lick etc. are needed for a gig right now and be ready to use the idea in any key. This locks in a direct connection between teaching and putting new guitar concepts into action, immediately. Very cool way to teach. Thanks
