In the words of Keith Richards (Rolling Stones):If you don't know the blues. There's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.Blues is one of the most important of music.
It has shaped other styles, like jazz, rock, metal, even country.Guitarists who know how to play blues guitar have a definite advantage over others.Now you might be wondering:'Is learning blues guitar hard?' I have good news for you. It's rather simple.Of course, it takes learning and practice (as does everything else in life), but once you understand the fundamentals, you'll see how practical blues really is.and most of all: how thrilling it is to play!So let's get to it.Below I'll review the best blues guitar courses you'll find on the internet in 2019.While you read this post, get yourself into the mood and listen to what many consider one of the best blues songs of all time by BB King. If you type blues guitar lessons into Google, you'll be presented with many sites offering blues tutorials. GuitarTricks.com is a real heavyweight in online guitar lessons. In fact, being established in 1998, it was the first site to offer video guitar lessons on the internet.The blues lessons offered by GuitarTricks can be split into 3 main sections.
Blues style course (Level 1 and Level 2). Blues songs.
Blues mini coursesLet's have a look at each. Blues Style Level 1 & 2 (Core learning system)The core learning system is GuitarTricks.com's recommended path for learning guitar. TrueFire.com is an absolute monster website, with more lessons than anybody could ever go through. They offer many individual courses in all genres and difficulties.The company was founded in 1991, and they initially released lessons on tape and DVD.
Than came the Internet.TrueFire has an immense number of guitar lessons. At the moment of this writing, it has 177 courses full fledged blues guitar courses with almost 14,000 individual lessons in them.Picking out each course of interest is useful for advanced guitarists. 'Blues Guitar Learning Path'Beginner blues guitar players are offered a more structured way of learning, called the 'Blues Guitar Learning Path'.It is made up of 4 stage, with lessons increasing in difficulty.Each stage is made up of 'core courses' and also 'supplementary courses'.FYI the core courses are lessons that build fundamental blues guitar knowledge and skills, while the supplementary courses are stand-alone courses digging deeper into specific blues guitar aspects, like,. Stage 1: Beginner to Late BeginnerThis stage isn't blues guitar specific. It teaches basic guitar skills to beginners, so I'm not sure why it's even included in the Blues path.Anybody looking to learn a specific genre of guitar should have a sound knowledge of the basics already. Stage 2: Late Beginner to intermediateThis stage of TrueFire's blues course covers basic blues guitar concepts and techniques.
If you don't know anything about blues guitar, this is a good place to start. Quick start for beginners: blues shuffle, 12 bar blues, 7th chords, blues turnaround. Rhythm and lead fundamentals: blues soloing basics, minor pentatonic scale, blues scale, 7th barre chords, 9th chords. Tools and techniques: all 5 patterns of the minor pentatonic scale, blues licks, major pentatonic scale, more turnarounds, blues in specific styles (rhumba, minor, funky)TruFire gives several recommended supplementary courses with stage 2. The ones that are blues specific any I would recommend a beginner blues student to cover are:.Stage 3: Intermediate to late intermediateThe next stage of TrueFire's blues course builds onto stage 2 and provides more examples, rhythm patterns, licks and techniques.It's important to note that unlike the stage 2 lessons, the lessons in this stage were not developed specifically for this blues course. Jamplay.com is another high quality guitar lesson site.
It was founded in 2006 and has come far in the number of lessons, teachers and innovation.If you were to start learning blues guitar with Jamplay, you would:. Choose a blues guitar course. Maybe choose another one as well from another teacher. And a third time as well, just to make sure 😉. Learn blues riffs from their Lick and Riff LibraryThe main specialty of Jamplay is the wide array of teachers they have teaching the various lessons on their website.This is evident when you look at their 'Blues Genre-Based Lesson Sets'.
Blues Genre-Based Lesson SetsAt the moment, they list 16 various blues, taught by various teachers. Each course will vary in the number of lessons and video length.The curriculum of these courses was probably developed by the given teacher, so a lot of the material offered in the different courses overlaps. Beginner blues guitar on JamplayIf you are a blues guitar newbie, I would recommend either Blues guitar with Hawkeye (acoustic blues) or Blues Guitar with DJ (electric blues).
Both these courses offer a semi-structured approach to learning blues guitar.I say semi-structured because unlike GuitarTricks and TrueFire, you can tell that Jamplay's blues courses were not designed from the ground up.Both Hawkeye's and DJ's start out with older lessons, and they have been adding individual lessons to their courses with time. Because of this, they start becoming a bit random as the lessons progress. Intermediate blues on JamplayIf you complete either Hawkeye's or DJ's courses, you will have a sound knowledge of the basics of blues guitar.At this point, you would continue with one (or several) of Jamplay's other blues courses.You'll find a number of acoustic and electric blues guitar courses, as well as several slide guitar courses. Lick n Riff LibraryJamplay has a large riff library, which is always a treat when you only have 5-10 minutes of practice time and want to learn something new.They have around 80 blues riff & lick lessons at the moment, most of which are electric guitar lessons.
Not too long ago, DVD courses were all the rage. Basically, you can play the blues on any guitar. It's more of a style thing than anything else.But if you want to get the blues sound you might be used to from other blues guitarists, these guitars would be your first choice: 1. Les Paul style guitar(Lester William Polsfuss) was a legend among legends in the guitar world. Creating the Les Paul style guitar, he was one of the pioneers of solid-body electric guitar.Les Paul style guitars are arguably one of the best guitars for playing blues.
Blues artists who have played on Les Pauls are Gary Moore, Joe Bonamossa, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, etc.Gibson now owns the Les Paul brand, and are some of the best instruments in the world.Gibson's more budget friendly company, Epiphone, also produces. The higher end Epiphone Les Pauls are great instruments, but nothing beats a real Gibson Les Paul.Of course, there are many other Les Paul imitations out there.
One of my first guitars was actually a Vintage V100 Les Paul copy. StratocasterFender's Stratocaster is another iconic blues guitar.
Interestingly enough, it's single coil tone is exactly the opposite of that of the Les Paul.Blues players who have used Strats are Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, SRV, etc.As I mentioned, the. Fender American Standard strats are great guitars, and the 5 configurations of pickups means that tonal variety is seemingly endless.The Fender American Stratocaster is not as expensive as a Gibson Les Paul, so that's definitely great news if you prefer the sound of the single coil pickups.Fender's budget brand, Squier, also makes Stratocasters, but they are not as high quality as American strats.There are also other guitar manufacturers who make variations of strat-style guitars, for example PRS and Ibanez. Semi-hollow body guitarSemi-hollow body guitars are chambered guitars with a wooden block running down the center of the guitar. Such guitars resonate beautifully with nice full bodied humbucker tones, and the center block gives good sustain.Artists who have used such guitars for playing the blues are BB King, Eric Johnson, Chuck Berry, Freddie King, etc.The best known semi-hollow body guitar is probably the.
As with anything Gibson, it's an expensive, high quality guitar.Many other manufacturers make semi-hollow body guitars. Some models that come to mind are:. Epiphone Dot or the Sheraton II. Gretsch semi-hollow models. Guild Starfire IV. Ibanez Artcore AS93 models. The first blues players of the early 1900's used steel string acoustic guitars to play the blues, so you can say the blues is rooted in the acoustic guitar.Think Robert Johnson, Lightning Hopkins, Mississippi John Hurt (here is a list of the ).With the evolution of music and the advent of electric guitars, many blues players started playing on the electric guitar.You can play blues on either the acoustic or the electric, it depends on which type of music you prefer.

The style of blues you play on each type of instrument will of course be different, so it basically depends on what you prefer at any moment in time.If you are a beginner and must choose between an acoustic or electric guitar to learn blues on, I would suggest the electric.A Fender Stratocaster to be exact.
