Simply put, if you've ever wanted to freely improvise heart-wrenching blues solos up and down the neck, be able to switch between rhythm and lead, play along with those classic blues tunes you love, play in your own style, jam with others, or even write your own music...
This Masterclass could be a dream come true for you.
Not only will you get a MASSIVE leap in progress from the Masterclass itself...
You'll be able to apply these concepts to anything else you play in the future, so it continues to reward you for years and years to come.
The Masterclass will take place over 4 weeks. Each weekday, you'll enjoy a small, easy exercise that will boost a key area of your skills and prepare you for the weekly session.
In addition to the daily exercises, you and your fellow Masterclass members will have one weekly 1 hour session with Doug, where he will go in depth on the weekly topic (more on that in a moment) so you clearly "see" the path forward, what to do, and how to succeed. Best of all, all the exercises and weekly sessions will be recorded for you, so there's no pressure to attend every weekly session, and so you can always review all the material at your own pace.
The amazing news is, everything you learn will be applied in the context of the playing of the REAL Blues Masters, so that not only can you play their musical ideas yourself...
You'll see EXACTLY what these great artists are doing, and have the skill to replicate the techniques and ideas in your own playing for the rest of your life!
All from great players such as:
Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Buddy Guy, Gary Moore, Gregg & Duane Allman, Muddy Watters, Mark Knopfler, Robin Trower, Billy Gibbons, Freddy King, Jonny Lang, Albert King, John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson, Carlos Santana, Joe Bonamassa, and more!
Just imagine being able to play like all these amazing heroes!
Now that you have the overview of the program, let's dive into the "theme" of what you'll be learning each week with Doug...
Week 1: Blues Styles, Rhythm, and Structure - If you've ever wanted to know the "hidden structure" of all blues tunes, which chords to play - from easy, straightforward chords to bluesy dominant 7ths, what the "numbers" mean, how to easily play in any major or minor key, and even how to play killer turnarounds that keep the fun going for hours, you'll discover all that and more - all to set you up with a rock solid blues foundation you'll build on in weeks 2, 3 and 4.
Week 2: How To Play Heart-Wrenching, Emotional Blues Leads And Solos - While learning "licks" and "riffs" can be useful to get new musical ideas - you'll move past "memorized licks" as you discover how to truly improvise soulful blues solos on the spot, using all the amazing expression tools from the toolboxes of the Blues Masters - where you'll go beyond the Pentatonic scale into new expressive territory, just waiting to be explored.
Week 3: How To Easily Combine Rhythm And Lead, And Switch Back And Forth - We've all heard those amazing songs with incredible lead fills in between the singing from the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, and countless others. And in week 3, you too will discover how to go from killer blues chords into a tasty lead fill, or even a full blown solo and back again - no matter where you're playing on the neck!
Week 4 - Putting It All Together And Taking It To The Next Level - This is the week where all your previous learning will come together into an amazing blend of blues abilities you may never have thought was possible. And then you'll build on your newfound foundation even more to take your playing to a whole new level - with musical magic such as incorporating chromatic runs, advanced rhythm, fills, and licks, jamming with others, advanced solos from the greats, and even playing your own unique style!
Connect With Other Like-Minded Guitar Players On A Shared Journey In Your Exclusive Masterclass Community - We know how hard it can be to go the journey alone, especially when there's little to no one in your daily life that can relate. That's why you'll be getting access to the tight-knit, like-minded community of Masterclass members who will inspire you, push you, and motivate you to succeed the way you always wanted.
Get All Your Questions Answered - Not only will you have small daily exercises, and a weekly session with Doug, you'll also be able to interact with him and get your questions answered any day of the week - all inside your exclusive Masterclass Community!
Just imagine if it all lined up, everything worked out, and you really DID experience an incredible quantum LEAP in your guitar playing... in just 4 weeks...
