We will cover the combining of quotes in a Blues Form. 

We will be examining speech patterns in Blues players. Specifically T-Bone and touch a little upon Robert Lockwood Jr. 

This lesson will examine four measure breaks at the top of a 12 bar form.  This technique is common in Jump Blues.  Pete Guitar Lewis and Pee Wee Crayton will be used as examples. 

This video will cover the use of different formation double-stops.  In the style of Teddy Bunn

This lesson will tie chord structures together. Some ideas from Bill Jennings and George Barnes 

This month we will be focusing on using a shout chorus to conclude your guitar solo.

This Phrasing lesson will focus on inserting chord stabs in your lead playing.  A contemporary Jump Blues device that is heard in Kid Ramos' playing as well as Hollywood Fats. 

This video moves from the chord tone approach to the pentatonic approach as the music and Blues changed in the 1960's.  Our focus will be on the feels that were relevant and the artist solo approach. 

This month we are looking at arpeggios that are common with Charlie Christian's soloing.  These ninth Chord lines inherently sound musical and work well over two measure phrases.  I like utilizing them on bridge sections specifically I-IV-II-V and III-VI-II-V.  

This Lesson focuses on ornamentation.  Specifically, bending and slides

This month we look at Quarter note Triplets or as Mickey Baker defines them as lazy Quarter Notes.  Popular West Coast Blues technique in the 40's and 50's from such guitarists as Jimmy Nolan, and Pete Lewis.
