This guitar tutorial/lesson came from my own efforts to be a better blues guitarist and improviser. It’s got a couple of tips that I’ve picked over the years and focuses on a minor key blues with a twist which means robbing notes from the natural and harmonic minor scales.

Tone wise I’m using my heavily modded Edwards copy of a Les Paul Custom into @fender ‘s Tone Master Pro. The preset is running a Marshall Plexi with a soupcon of delay being hammered by a Klon.
