Have you ever wondered how all the greats do it? Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Steve Vai, etc. How do they all play guitar the way they do? Well the answer comes down to two words: the blues. Ever great guitar player started out with learning the blues. Blues is the root of nearly all modern music in the Western world: everything from rock, jazz and folk, to country and pop music. If you want to shred solos like the guitar heros you know and love, start with Mahalo's first Mastering Guitar Solos course!
In this course, you'll learn about the blues, which chords to use, which scales to use, which techniques you should know, and by the end of the course, you'll be able to play a rockin' blues solo. Follow along with our guitar expert Jen Trani—a guitar instructor who's been playing since she was 13—as she shows you all you need to know to be a killer beginner blues guitarist.
Start to finish, the course runs about an hour long, but you should expect to spend three hours running through it at a slow, steady pace, adding in time for your own additional practice and review of difficult concepts.
