If you’re a fan of Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer, you’ll love this Blues guitar tutorial and guitar techniques lesson!

Watch as Leigh shows us the difference rolling back the volume and tone knobs can make and how our use of pickups can enable us to mimic specific eras of Blues guitar!

Fortunately, you don’t need a lot of gear to dial in a Blues tone, and most of us will already have these pedals, amps and styles of guitar to hand. All you need is an electric guitar, an amp and perhaps an overdrive and delay pedal!
