Unlock the soulful, jazz-infused phrasing of blues virtuoso Matt Schofield in this deep-dive tutorial! I’ve transcribed and broken down 15 killer licks from various live performances and recordings — perfect for intermediate to advanced players looking to level up their vocabulary and phrasing.
Schofield’s style is rooted in the blues legends — from Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins, and Albert King, to the smooth phrasing of Eric Clapton — and blends it all with jazzy sophistication, which you can really see in some of these Licks!
I hope you enjoy!
