The Blues is Everywhere

“The musical language of the Blues is present in all styles of popular music. It is essential vocabulary for all improvising musicians. The Licks presented in this course will provide you with indispensable ingredients to build your own solos that sound authentic and communicate with your audience. The method for learning and integrating this language into your playing will transform your approach to improvising and make your solos sound better instantly.”

The difference between when I started and when I finished was really impressive. Found the lessons easy but they definitely made a difference in my playing. Thanks again and looking forward to the Blues Foundation Course.

“Thanks Jay, a great course. I will need to keep practicing the content but has taught me so much about improvising that I wish I had known nearly 60 years ago when it was impossible to get help like this.”

A GREAT course! I’ve been working through it for almost a year now and have several years left - I think. Indispensable!
