Brief course description
IMPORTANT: This course includes several optional lectures, and other supplemental documents. (These optional lectures are included under ALL RESOURCES, and also under RESOURCES for Lesson 11.)
CORE LECTURES (Approximately one hour total, not including the optional lessons)*
*Please note: Many example licks in this course are improvisations, which are intended to give you a taste of the kinds of great sounds you can achieve, after you have mastered the basic principles that are thoroughly explained in these lessons. Therefore, I discourage you from trying to learn my sample improvisations note-for-note. If you are not interested in learning to improvise your own blues licks (in a structured context, following basic principles), then you may not like this course. In that spirit, there is no music notation for this course (which can, potentially, defeat the purpose).
