We have all learned to talk. When we learn to speak we have an understanding of the words, how to say them and the context of what we are trying to say. Without such understanding our words would be exactly that – just words. No context – no understanding.

Playing blues guitar is much the same We can either just copy blues licks (words) so they may sound right – or we can build an understanding of why those licks work and therefore have a true understanding of what we are playing This enables us to SPEAK through the guitar – to create our own licks and not to rely on others feeding them to us. We can learn to improvise and play over chord changes and really be inspired by the connection between the notes and the chords.

THAT is my goal – to help you speak through your guitar. To find a connection with your guitar and to help you communicate a real message through your playing.

Fingers crossed….
