Dear Fellow Blues Lover,

Do you love blues guitar as much as I do... but are frustrated with how to get the sounds of the great bluesmen? Wouldn't it be great to be able to play like Eric Clapton, BB King, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Angus Young, or Buddy Guy?

You are about to discover the incredible method that will catapult you from a wannabe blues guitar player into a truly great blues guitar player. No matter where you are now, no matter how long you've searched for the secrets, the tricks, or the techniques. If you follow my step-by-step program here is what you'll get.....

• How to solo over the entire fretboard effortlessly. No more getting "stuck" in one spot, unable to continue. I call this the "attack of stupid"... We've all been there.. don't be there again.
• How to "comp" effortlessly behind a singer or other soloist. You'll sound so good they'll fire the piano player
• How to know the 3 chords in any blues tune, no matter what key, instantly. It's right there on your guitar plain as the nose on your face.
• How to substitue 9th, 11th, 13th, and altered chords in place of your tired old chords and make them sound like they belong. It's the sound you've been looking for but just couldn't find.
• How to grind through the greasiest Texas shuffle like you were born just outside of Dallas.
• How to use the blues and pentatonic guitar scales to play great solos like those of Eric Clapton, BB King, SRV, and other great bluesmen.
• How to improvise and really sound great over any blues tune at any time. Imagine just jumping up at a local blues jam and blowing them away with your skills.
• How to understand the chord/scale relationships in the blues. This is literally how to play through the blues!
• How to use the middle and ring fingers of your right hand to groove like ZZ Top does in La Grange.
• How to play a minor blues, complete with major7th and the Hendrix chord at the end. You'll never play The Thrill Is Gone the same way again.
• How to nail blues bends and use them. You'll learn 1/2 step, whole step, and even 1 1/2 step bends. Clapton himself has said this is the main thing he still practices to this day. You need to do this right.
• How to play the best blues licks that have been used by generations of blues guitar greats.
• How to turn the fingerings you learn for the minor blues scale into the major blues scale - without learning anything new. You'll also learn when to use the major and when to use the minor blues scales. This alone is the biggest secret to soloing like a pro.
• How to use hammer-ons and pull-offs quickly within your blues solos to increase your speed immediately.
• How to use sliding "harmony lines" in your chord playing like the Allmans do in Stormy Monday
  A Step-by-step method that let's you learn at your own pace, and in the comfort of your own home or office.
• How to practice so you'll make the most of your time, every time. Hey, I've got a wife and kids too. You've got to make every minute of practice time count and I'll show you how.
• How to pull off pinch harmonics (guitar squeals) effortlessly, every time.
• Over 2 and half hours (and counting!) of cut-to-the-chase style video lessons. I'll personally walk you through every note of the course.
• Lifetime updates. There is more being added to the members area all the time. With your one-time payment, you get everything, forever!

Playing Through The Blues - A Guide For The Lead Guitar Player will help you achieve your goals in a simple, easy, and straight forward manner. I bet you'll even amaze yourself in no time!

You see, I've been a professional guitarist and educator for 20 years. In that time I've taught hundreds, if not thousands of students of all ages and levels how to play the guitar.

Many of those students were exactly where you are. They've come to me after a failed band, a failed jam night, or just a failed practice session. They all speak of the same problem: "I'm tired of playing the same thing," or "What else can I play?" It's always the same frustration....

Over the last few years, I've looked high and low for materials to illustrate just how simple it can really be to solo in the 12 bar blues and really kill it.

Do you know what I have to show for all of my trips to the local music stores and all of my searches through cyberspace? Nothing!

I could not find one single book with an actual system for playing through the blues. Sure, there are hundreds of books full of blues licks, but how does that help in the long run?

You don't need 800 different licks, what you need are the best blues guitar licks and a practical, effective way to use them.

"I wrote Playing Through The Blues - A Guide for the Lead Guitar Player with one goal in mind: to create a simple system that shows you exactly how to play killer blues guitar solos!"

This system has been tested on hundreds of students over the years and it works, I guarantee it!

Playing Through the Blues - A Guide for the Lead Guitar Player is so much more than just a book full of blues scales and licks.

Rather than just fill pages, I've done what I do for all of my students and cut right to the heart of what you need to know.

Inside the book you'll find all of the scales and fingering patterns that you'll ever need, all of the necessary blues licks, tricks, and techniques, and complete blues solos in the styles of your blues guitar heroes. Each of these solos demonstrate the techniques and approaches for crafting those perfect blues solos. You'll love learning these because they are real solos over real blues.

The best way to learn is by doing! For that very reason, there are audio examples for every single example in the book. Most of them even include one example at slow speed so you can really get it down, then another example at full speed.

And as if that wasn't enough, there is over 120 minutes of up close videos! I personally demonstrate every single note of the whole system with professional quality videos. There are even videos for some extra 'fun' stuff that isn't covered in the book.

Have your own Jam Session anytime!. These aren't some cheesy keyboard jam tracks that you hear many companies put out. These are real tracks played by real musicians (including me!) As you learn a few licks, and the accompanying solo, you can "stretch your wings" a little bit at home with the Jam Tracks. And since these Jam Tracks are just like real blues songs, the things you learn at home will carry over to your next band practice or jam session without fail.

This is a powerful program laid out in an easy to use, step-by-step format. And, you get to move through the course at your pace, not mine. You don't have to show up to my studio at any predetermined time. You get to set your pace, and you get to learn the blues when you want to.

"Discover the Secrets of your Blues Guitar Heroes..."

"Playing Through The Blues" is not some complicated book on theory and impractical methods. There is, in fact, not much theory at all. I've had students from ages 12 - 60 use this sytem. It's worked for them, and I believe it will work for you.

You are going to save time, money, and frustration. I live in the real world. I'm a full time musician and guitar teacher, but I'm also a husband and father. I can't find much time to practice, and I expect you can't either. My private lessons are tailored to 20 minute practice sessions. If you can find 20 minutes per day, even if it's 10 minutes twice per day, you will get through this with flying colors.

My students are amazed at how simple it can really be to play like Eric Clapton, SRV, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, and so many others. Even modern day rock guitarists from bands like AC/DC, Lenny Kravitz, Kiss, The Black Crowes, and others use this approach to their leads.

I remember learning the secret as a teenager and never looking back. Once you've got it, it's yours for good!

• Lifetime Updates. Yes, you read right, lifetime updates. I will be adding to the Playing Through The Blues members area as often as possible. There are several additional examples that I'm working on even now that will be added as soon as they are finished.
