Learn To Play Blues Guitar With DVD Video
Instruction
Whether You Want To Be The Next Clapton, Or Just Have Some
Fun Playing On Your Own Back Porch, You'll Have A Blast With
This Simple, Step-By-Step Method.
Learning to play blues guitar has never been so
simple, or so enjoyable.
This step-by-step, video
instruction course contains everything you'll need to
really learn the blues inside and out.
These are the exact same lessons that thousands of
students, many of them just like you, have used to learn
how to play blues guitar.
And most importantly, you'll
have fun and be on your way to playing the blues from the
very first lesson.
From: Griff Hamlin Date:

Dear Friend and Fellow Blues Lover,
I love the blues... and especially blues
guitar.
I still remember the first time I saw B.B. King up on stage
with Lucille taking us all back home... it was amazing. Seeing
some of the great bluesmen on stage is really something you
never forget.
And I think you and I are a lot alike... we love the blues,
and we love playing blues guitar. If you didn't, you wouldn't
be here now reading this letter.
My name is Griff Hamlin and I've been fortunate enough to
make a career out of playing guitar, but even if it's not how I
made my living, I'd still be sitting at home playing on my old
6 string for my wife and son. Let's face it... you
don't play because you can, you play because you have
to.
But the real story is how I got
here...
You see, I actually started playing and teaching guitar
professionally in the mid 1980's. My father, grandfather, and
great-grandfather were all teachers, and most of my family
plays at least a couple of instruments. So I guess it was a
natural path for me.
Back then I was going to be a rock star and that was that.
Sure, I would listen to blues it if it was on, but I didn't
get it like blues lovers really
do. (That took some time as you'll soon see...)
In fact, one time I was at a weekend-long guitar clinic (put
on by someone I don't even remember now,) and I hardly even
noticed the instructor's lesson on how to play blues guitar. I
was too focused on the latest
"shredder" tricks.
Well wouldn't you know it... fast forward a few years and I
was auditioning for a local classic rock & blues band.
I really didn't have the style they wanted, but there was a
gig in two weeks and I said I'd have the material down so they
gave me a shot.
That's when I got a rude
awakening...
I had about 50 songs to learn in 2 weeks time. And I mean
learn... from memory... completely!
Lucky for me, they didn't ask me to learn all of the solos
note for note. That was cool because it allowed me to work my
soloing skills, and it made it so I
didn't have to memorize so much!
But that's wasn't
the real problem...
The problem was, what I discovered about my playing really
disturbed me...
I had spent so many years learning every scale
shape, arpeggio, mode, and every scrap of theory I could get my
head around... and none of that mattered. I
sounded like a 2nd rate hack on every tune.
Here I was spending no less than 3 hours every day in my
studio with my tape deck beating my head against the wall.
It didn't matter, everything I played just
stunk.
I was stressed to say the
least...
About 3 days before the gig I remembered that obscure
"guitar clinic" I had been to a few years before...
I remembered what the instructor had said about
playing blues using major and minor blues
scales. I even was able to find my printed
materials from that clinic and looked them over (who says being
a pack-rat is bad?)
To make a long story short, I turned on the tape again and
started playing along. When the solo section came up I began to
noodle...
but this time
everything was different...
I laughed out loud and said to myself,
"there's no way it's that simple, this must be some kind of
fluke..."
So I turned on the next tune and approached it the same
way.
I was totally blown away...
I went through every tune on the set list using this new
approach and could not believe what I was hearing coming from
my amp.
Not only were the songs coherent and soulful, but I
found myself stumbling upon the exact same
licks that the original artists were
playing... without even trying.
I realized that I was approaching the tunes the same way
that they were...
I had it, and I've never looked
back.
I went on to form my own blues band in 1993. Our first gig
was in July of 1993 at some little bar in Huntington Beach,
California. We went on to play as many as 200 shows a year,
released 2 CD's and I've toured around the world to places as
far away as Poland, Turkey, Italy, and Korea.
During that entire time I've kept a full roster of students.
Sometimes as many as 70 per week, and rarely less than 40.
As you can imagine, many people have come to me for lessons
because they've either seen me play or have heard me on
recordings. So I teach a lot of aspiring blues players every
day. It's awesome, let me tell you.
When the internet came along, I was as excited as everyone
else to see the technology emerge. And like a lot of people, I
was also disappointed to see so much
bad information pushed on so many unsuspecting
people.
I'm not saying that everyone out there in cyberspace is a
con artist, far from it. But I've bought a lot of
materials online to try out in my own teaching studio. And
let's just say that it is really rare that I'm
impressed.
So I was in a lesson a couple of years ago complaining that
I couldn't find any decent stuff for my students to play along
with. My student said "why don't you make your own?"
And the rest is history...
"I Am So Much Better Than I Was A
Week
Ago..."
I can
tell you, from someone that has
invested $1000's in guitar
instruction, that finding first an
instructor that knows what he's
doing, teaching a genre that is
meaningfu,l through a medium that
is easy to manage, in a method that
makes sense, is priceless. I find
no surprises about the success of
your program.
This
is really good stuff. It is exactly
what I was looking for - a
'step-by-step do not proceed till
you mastered this' approach. I am
going to take my ability to the
next level. In 3 segments of your
course so far I am so much better
than I was a week ago.

Do You Share Some Of These Common
Frustrations?
"Where do I start?" - Most people have
a hard time knowing where to start, and in what order to
learn things. Should you learn the blues scale first? What
about all 5 positions? What chord shapes should you use?
The list of questions is almost endless.
"Everything goes by too fast." - Let's
face it, if you're trying to get it from a recording, the
artist isn't going to slow down and explain what's going on
for you. What you need is to have the licks broken down in
to small pieces that can be easily mastered quickly.
Success begets success, and with a little taste of it
you'll learn more, faster.
"I don't have time." - Listen, I'm a
husband and a father too. I know that If it takes more than
about 20 minutes a day, it ain't going to happen! We all
have responsibilites that make regular, weekly lessons with
an instructor an impossibility, and playing time is usually
stolen from some other chore around the house.
"How do I use what I learn?" -
Just because you learn a lick doesn't mean you can use it.
You need a method of taking it to different keys and
different feels until it becomes part of your own personal
vocabulary. Playing blues should be like talking to a
friend.
"...your
course has far exceeded those
expectations."
I just want to say that I had high
expectations for your course based
on the videos I watched prior to
purchase. I'm happy to say your
course has far exceeded those
expectations. It is concise, to the
point, yet offers a wealth of
material (and I have only gotten up
to Lesson 7!).
Anyway its an amazing course and
kudos to you for having developed
it. It really displays your
complete understanding of what
guitar players of all levels need,
and I think, guitar players of any
level can gain from it. Ha, as a
side note, its also fun. I end up
doing it for much longer than 20
minutes a day, thats for sure.
Best Regards,
Dennis
Here are just
some of the thingsBlues Guitar
Unleashed can
dofor
you:
Discover how to solo effortlessly in
any key, major or minor, anywhere on the guitar
fretboard. No more getting lost
or wondering what you're "allowed" to play. That
means no more "clinkers" while you wring every last
drop of emotion out of your solos without thinking.
You'll be able to simply enjoy the looks on the
faces of the other players as they admire your
riffs.
Know when and how to play the major
versus the minor blues
sound. This one secret is the
same thing that completely changed my own playing
in a couple of hours. Once you learn this you will
be able to think like your guitar heroes before
you. Many times you can even just hear something
they play, and you'll know exactly how to play
it... even without a guitar in your hands (I've
seen it happen... often!)
You'll learn how to know exactly what
scales to use, in what key, and when, without any
unnecessary theory. No dorians,
mixolydians, or any other "Greekness" going on here
(but I will tell you why don't need those modes.)
This is straight-to-the-point stuff you can start
using on day 1.
How to easily and quickly execute all
of the necessary guitar "tricks" like hammer-ons,
pull-offs, slides, and "tweedlies" (my personal
favorite.) You have to be able
to do these to get the real blues sounds. None of
them are hard if you learn them right.
How blues chord progressions work using
the 12 bar blues. With this
lesson alone you could be creating your own songs
within minutes, or you can use it to know what's
coming up in songs you've never played before.
Imagine stepping up on an open jam and not worrying
about what tune they call because you know you can
nail it, no matter what.
You'll learn how to setup your right
and left hand fingerings to effortlessly bend the
strings as far as you need to...
and without all those extra "noises" when you are
done with the bend (this is probably the most
common question I get!) The answer is all in the
right hand.
How to play literally hundreds of tried
and true blues licks, in a
variety of keys and styles. I walk you through them
note by note, with an inset camera on my left hand
so you can see exactly what I am doing as I explain
it. Each one is broken down so it is easy enough to
learn in one session. You could learn a new lick
this afternoon and play it with your friends
tonight.
You'll learn how to construct a
complete solo from start to
finish. I think it's so uncool
to just throw a bunch of licks at you and say "have
fun!" You've got to learn how to create phrases and
make your guitar "talk." The complete solo examples
(there are 6 of them!) in Blues Guitar Unleashed
will show you how it's done, and more importantly
how you can do it.
You'll learn at least 14 different
"must have" blues rhythms that you can use at any
jam session. Many of these are taken
from popular blues songs such as "I'm Tore Down,"
"La Grange," "Pride and Joy," and others. Knowing
these will give you the confidence to play anything
you want.
You'll develop your own ability to hear
exactly what is being played on a
recording. Actually, you'll find
that it's easy when you know what that person is
probably playing. People ask me all the time if I
have perfect pitch because I listen to something
once and can play it. In reality, it's just because
I know what to expect and you will too.
You'll see how to use the blues scale
not just for soloing, but also
within your rhythm playing to keep a cool groove
going and embellish the chords. Playing with a band
will be effortless, and any band in town will be
happy to have you aboard.
You'll learn the most popular
variations on the 12 bar blues, including how it
applies to a minor blues. This allows
you to hear more quickly what other players are
doing, and also gives more options for writing your
own songs.
You'll get a logical and methodical
system for learning blues
guitar. The book and DVDs are
arranged so that you can start right from Lesson 1,
page 1, and go through to the end. Every lesson
builds on the lessons before it. You can go at your
own pace, and you'll know you are making progress
as you master each lesson.
You'll learn not just how to play a
lick, but how to make it a part of your own
vocabulary. You'll know how to use it
in any solo, not just the one you learned it from.
This is where so many courses fail, and so many
students really suffer. You'll be able to wrangle
every ounce of emotion out of your guitar without
having to learn an encyclopedia full of licks.
You'll discover all about chord
substitutions. Without a doubt
this is one area that makes things a lot more fun.
It's really easy when you know the 3 chord families
and how they are related. No one will believe you
can play so many cool chords so effortlessly. (they
work for solos too...)
You'll learn all of the chord shapes
and rhythm patterns you'll ever need to
know. You'll be able to play
7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, major 7th, 7#9, and a slew of
other great blues chords. No matter what chord
comes up in a tune, you'll know the best way to
play it (and I assure you it is not what your chord
book would have you play!)
"I Felt
On Top Of The
World..."
"Just had to write and tell you
this. I was at the local blues club
a couple of days back (it's sort of
an open mic let's all join in type
night). I just went along to check
it out really. Anyway, they were
badgering me to get up and join in,
which I was getting pretty nervous
about but by the end of the night I
just had to have a go. I got one of
the guys to play a 12 bar rhythm in
A and just played your solo 1
example over the top. I felt on top
of the world when it had finished
and got a few pats on the back. I
came out of there feeling at least
6 inches taller and it's all down
to you so can i say a big big thank
you. The course is great by the way
and I'm having some brilliant
fun."
-- Tony, Great Britain
"By Far The Best
Yet..."
"I have about everything advertised
on the internet. Secrets to
everything, but your course is by
far the best yet. I hope you have
more coming."
-- Noah, IN, US
"...my guitar is much happier
and so am
I!"
Instead of being born a wildly
talented black blues player,
born with the spiritually
guided, genetic knowledge of
the blues, I was born a white,
middle-aged housewife who has
been struggling with lessons
and the general feeling that I
do not deserve the
full-of-mojo-semi-hollow-body-telly
that I have been torturing the
soul out of for lo these many
years. Since my husband came
across this web site, my guitar
is much happier and so am I. I
actually amaze myself, not to
mention the people that hear me
play, the dog no longer has to
be put out of the house when I
practice. YOU, not Eric
Clapton, are God, as the wall
said. Thanks a million times
over.
-- Lee Lawrence, US
Upon placing your order using our secure server,
Blues Guitar Unleashed will be
immediately shipped to your door. The 8 hours of
video instruction is divided up on to 4
DVDs. The accompanying play-along examples are on 2 CDs. There
is also a large printed and bound manual. All of the examples
are in TAB and standard notation in the printed manual.
You can play along with audio examples on the CDs, or play
along with the video on the DVD. You choose what works best for
you. And every single note is written out and explained in the
printed manual as well. Most of my students find it easiest to
open the manual to the song they are working on, and play along
with me on the DVD or the CD at the same time.
The audio examples are in slow speed and full speed on the
CDs. Play along at the slow speed until you get the hang of it,
then crank it up to full speed and you can play right
along.
Let's Take A Look Under The
Hood...
DVD
1:
Lesson 1: This lesson covers the 2
basic 7th chord shapes used in most blues songs. The chords
are easy, and you also learn a key blues rhythm to use with
the example song. After just this first lesson you'll be
playing blues and having fun with it.
Lesson 2: This lesson covers some
additional 7th chord shapes and introduces a new blues
rhythm pattern over the example song. This is also where
you'll learn about the 12 bar blues form, and how to know
the chords in almost any blues song instantly.
Lesson 3: Here we learn about the
best 9th chords for blues music. You hear these everywhere
and you probably don't even know it. Want instant cool
factor? This is it.
Lesson 4: Here we talk about what
I call "little chords." If you play with a group, you
really need these. Best part is, you never play more than 2
or 3 notes at a time! You've probably been thinking it's a
lot harder than it really is.
Lesson 5: The Blues Half-Step is
one of the best "coolness factor" moves around. Playing
along with this tune you'll have it down in no time.
Lesson 6: In this lesson you'll
learn the rhythm and chord changes in the style of the song
"I'm Tore Down." It's a staple at open jam nights, and the
backing track is great fun to play over. This rhythm has
been used in hundreds of blues songs over the decades.
Lesson 7: This lesson introduces
you to what I call "The Stormy Slide." Remember the Allman
Brothers recording of Stormy Monday? This will
give you that sound. Perfect flavoring for any slow blues
song.
Lesson 8: Here we get down on the
jam night staples... Blues in E, Blues in A, Blues in D.
With this you will fear no jam night... you'll be
ready.
Take a look at the excerpt from Lesson 5 on "The Blues Half
Step" (might want to grab your guitar!)

DVD
2:
Lesson 9: John Lee Hooker started this
rhythm and ZZ Top took it from there. Can I get a "How How
How How?"
Lesson 10: Heading down Texas way
this lesson gets you playing a stinging Texas shuffle to
make Stevie proud. I play over this jam track all the time
myself just because it's so fun. In the 2nd part of the
lesson you'll discover how to put in a walking bass line to
get a sound like Stevie gets in Pride &
Joy.
Lesson 11: The thrill will not be
gone... it will be alive and well once you learn this minor
blues tune. This lesson is also where you'll really get
good at combining lead elements into your rhythm playing.
Remember, the only difference between the lead and the
rhythm player is where they stand.
Lesson 12: Here we explore the
jazzier side of blues. You'll learn more about chord
substitutions, back-cycling, and some awesome little chord
shapes (G7#9#5 anyone? It only takes 2 fingers). One of the
other great benefits of this lesson is how it helps your
ear to recognize chord sounds.
Lesson 13: Here's where we get
funky. Blues music has evolved to include elements of funk,
rock, and country as commonplace. Funk blues is some of the
best fun you'll ever have with a band. The jam track on
this one is slammin' too so if you don't have a band, don't
worry, I'll provide one.
Lesson 14: The influence of
Gospel music in blues can't be denied either. In this
lesson we'll take your chord playing to a new level with a
beautiful slow gospel blues tune remeniscent of I Ain't
Got Nothin' But The Blues.
Lesson 15: Heading more in the
lead direction we dig in to the first blues scale pattern
(actually it is introduced back in lesson 11) and learn how
it is used and moved around the fretboard.
Lesson 16: All your questions
about string bending will be answered here. You'll also
learn some of the most common blues bend licks that you can
put to use in your own solos.
Lesson 17: Here I'll lay out all
of the blues "tricks" at your fingertips. You'll learn
about hammer-ons, pull-offs, "tweedlies", and how to
combine them into some blues phrases that you can use in
your own solos.
Lesson 18: This is where you put
it all together. You'll learn a complete solo in the key of
A. All of the licks are taken from previous lessons, so you
really get to see how to construct a solo from the pieces
you have learned.
This video is from lesson 16 and will help you get your
bends sounding confident and right on pitch instead of the
dreaded "dying squid bends."

3:
Lesson 19: Now you'll see how to
step out of the box into pattern 2 of the blues scale. This
is where a lot of things open up for many people because
boxes 1 and 2 are the most commonly used. You'll start to
hear a lot of licks that you recognize now.
Lesson 20: Now we'll take boxes 1
and 2 and combine them together in this complete solo over
the minor blues we learned in lesson 11. It is very similar
to the song The Thrill Is Gone. By now you're
really cooking.
Lesson 21: It's time to swing!
Some blues uses straight feel, but a lot of it is a swing
feel. We'll pull that swing apart and have you grooving
like nobody's business. More importantly, you'll learn how
triplets work and how to incorporate them in to your solos.
You'll start to notice an increase in your speed as well...
not from learning anything new, but because you will be
better able to hear the beat and how to fit more notes in
it. The problem with speed is usually in your ear, not your
fingers.
Lesson 22: Solo example #3 is an
uptempo blues swing in G. You'll learn a lot of good licks
here and really get your swing together. You'll also get a
great "comping" pattern for your rhythm playing. You'll be
amazed how good you can sound with 2 notes, moving 1 fret.
It's so simple and so effective.
Lesson 23: Here is where we
really blow the fretboard up and you'll learn how to move
the blues scale all around the guitar to
any key, major or minor,
without learning any new patterns or
shapes.
Lesson 24: This lesson is my
personal favorite. You will learn what is probably the
single most important thing you can know about blues
soloing. This was the "Aha!" moment I had just a few days
before a gig and it changed my playing forever, as well as
the playing of dozens of my students over the years. Once
you learn this, you will own the blues.
Lesson 25: The "Slow Blues In G"
solo example. Right here is 36 bars of pure, finely crafted
blues guitar. Play this solo at your next jam session and
watch the heads turn and the jaws drop. Jam along with the
CD backing track and your family and friends will not
believe it is really you sounding that good.
Here's a bit of the play-along for the "Slow Blues In G"
solo example. This is one is definitely one of my favorites.
And it's a favorite of many of students as well.

quality than what will arrive on the DVDs.
DVD
4:
Lesson 26: We start this DVD with
yet another smokin' solo. This one is a more uptempo swing
feel that will keep any band groovin'. Both Lessons 25 and
26 are crafted to really illustrate the details and points
that you learned in Lessons 23 and 24. You can't just hear
about how to do this, you have to make it part of your
personal "voice" on the guitar... and that's what these
solos will do for you.
Lesson 27: In this lesson we
finish up the neck with the final 3 boxes of the blues
scale. There are also several licks for you to learn and
add to your growing arsenal.
Lesson 28: In this solo we put
everything you have learned together. One of my students
used this solo in his band when they played "Sweet Home
Chicago." He got cheers and applause every time with it. By
the time you have learned this solo, you will be able to
solo comfortably anywhere on the guitar neck in any key...
period.
Lesson 29: For a little icing on
the cake we talk about "chord soloing" and using portions
of chords, 2 notes at a time, to get those cool double-stop
sounds you hear on recordings like "Hideaway" by Freddie
King and so many others.
Lesson 30: This lesson has
quickly become a favorite of many of my students. I call it
the "Playing On The Porch" lesson. Here we'll look at a way
to play all by yourself utilizing both rhythmic and lead
elements. This is one of the most traditional ways to
utilize the blues "call and response" element. Many
students like to learn this lesson first just because it's
such a blast to play, and it's really easy to learn.
Lesson 31: This last lesson takes
the "Playing On The Porch" idea a little further and adds
in the "secret sauce" of the mixture of major and minor
sounds. Play this one while you are sitting around home one
day and your family will fell like they are getting a
personal concert.
Check out this video from the "Playing On The Porch Part I"
lesson. This type of playing really pulls all of the elements
of the course together. You'll really sound comfortable and in
control when you play. One of my student's daughters heard him
playing this lesson and asked "why do you still take lessons if
you can play like that?"

In each DVD lesson I go over every note carefully and
completely... often literally spelling out for you which string
and fret to put your fingers on for the entire lick. And these
DVDs are packed full of 8 hours of
video... I barely got it all on to only 4
DVDs!
But let's not forget about the 2 CD's where you can play
along with the included audio examples and jam tracks...
CD 1 - This CD takes you through all of the Rhythms and
Chords you'll need in the blues. The audio examples here are
from the first two DVDs. Here are some examples of what you can
expect:
Lesson 4 (slow speed)
Lesson 6 (full speed)
Lesson 7.1 (full speed)
Lesson 10 (full speed)
Lesson 11 (full speed)
Notice how each one of the rhythm lessons also works as a
Jam Track to play lead over later on!
CD 2 - This CD contains all of the play-along examples for
the solos and the licks you'll learn. These cover the 3rd and
4th DVDs. There are also 6 Jam Tracks on this CD. If you are a
more intermediate level player, then take a listen to these
examples to see just how far you can go with this.
Lesson 17-4 (slow
speed)
Lesson 17-4 (full
speed)
Solo Example #2
Lesson 23-2 (full
speed)
Solo Example #5
Solo Example #6
And all of these DVDs and CDs would be great, but you'll also have every single note written out in TAB, along with written explanations of every lesson. Click here to view a sample page (opens in a new window)
Listen, I'm no salesman, I'm a guitar player, a husband, and
a father. Take a minute and Google my name if you
don't believe me. You won't find me on any big marketing pages,
you'll find me playing my guitar. Here's my trio at a local club not too long ago.
And when I'm not out playing with my trio or with my big horn band (with my wife on sax!) I'm teaching private students just like you. In the last 22 years that I've been teaching, I've rarely carried less than 40 students per week. In fact, there's usually a waiting list to get in to lessons with me.
I don't tell you this to brag, I just want you to know that I'm here to teach you. I want to help you learn and become a better blues guitarist. I don't just want to show you what I know and how cool I can play. As I say to my private students, "we're not here for my benefit, we're here for yours."
"You'll Make A Player
Out Of Me
Yet..."
"I was skeptical... I suck at
guitar, so how's some DVDs gonna
help me? When everything arrived I
expected something that looked a
little more 'homegrown'. It was
very professional and nicely laid
out. Thanks Griff! You'll make a
player out of me yet."
-- Billy, LA, CA
"What More Could A
Man Ask
For?"
"So, an excellent product backed up
by excellent support - what more
could a man ask for?"
-- Malcolm, UK
Now, I understand that you don't know me from a
hole in the ground. And if you haven't been scammed by some
snake-oil salesman online, then you are among the lucky
ones...
I'm really not here to try and convince you to
invest in Blues Guitar Unleashed. Only you can
decide for yourself if this is right for you.
I'm also not going to tell you that if you buy
Blues Guitar Unleashed, you'll be playing like
Hendrix or Clapton in 2 weeks. That's just not realistic for
anyone.
So if you are one of those guys who owns 20
different "how to play blues guitar" courses and they are all
dusty on the shelf, then I can't help you and you would be
wasting your money.
But if you have 15-20 minutes a day to
practice, and are willing to follow some simple instructions,
then I can have you playing some really fun blues guitar...
literally on the first lesson.
In fact, I'll tell you how right now. As soon
as your copy of Blues Guitar
Unleashed arrives, Put in DVD 4 and
choose Lesson 30 "Playing On The Porch Part
I." Then open up the manual to page
89. Follow along for a few minutes as I go through the
5 licks on that page (none of which have more than 6 notes) and
you'll be playing your own blues tune in about 15 minutes, no
sweat.
And while I may not make you sound like Clapton
in a week, I can and will explain very clearly why he plays the
notes that he plays. Armed with that information, you can
choose to sound like Clapton or not... but at least it's up
to you.
Enough of my rambling... here is what some
other folks have said about Blues Guitar
Unleashed...
"The Very Best Blues
Guitar package I've Ever Seen
Or Heard In My
Life."
I've been playing Electric Lead and
Rythym Guitar for several decades,
been in several bands, done all
kinds of performances, both live
and studio recordings and traded
licks with some of the best pickers
over the many years...and all that
helped in my improvisational and
professional skills. My original
roots started with classical music
and the piano in the late 50's....I
was lucky because my mother was a
keyboard player and
instructor.....but very strict and
traditional.
As you might guess, I'm a product
of the 60's and a Texas
Resident..you have mentioned some
of the guitarists I knew, some are
now gone and many still
around........but never have I had
a package anywhere like you put
together with studio quality backup
blues tracks that cover all kinds
of popular variations.....phrasing,
instructions, and so much
more.....
You can quote me on this
email....as a testimonial......any
guitarist who doesn't own this
package is just simply
incomplete.....I don't care what
level of player they may be...you
put together the very best Blues
Guitar package I've ever seen or
heard in my life.

It Sounds Like
Somebody
Else..."
I'm loving this course. Practicing
all the time now. My wife already
says "it sounds like somebody else
playing in your music room
now".
-- Rick, CA, US
"Wish I Would Have
Had This System Years
Ago..."
"Finally a book that really gets to
the meat and potatoes of it. I wish
I would have had this system years
ago. Top Notch Product!!"
-- Steve, USA
"I Feel I'm Really
Playing 'The
Blues'.."
First I would just like to say
thank you for your blues course.
I've got heaps of them and this is
the one I keep coming back to. I
find it challenging and really
enjoy the musical examples you
give. So many courses have examples
that are boring to play so there is
no incentive to work on them. With
your course I feel I'm really
playing 'the blues.' I particularly
like the Clapton, BB King and
Albert King lessons with the video
and mp3 tracks. All great choices
and bite-sized so they are not too
daunting."
-- Jim, Australia
"A Light Bulb Went
Off..."
I don't know how you did it, but
after just the first chapter, a
light bulb went off. Even in the
other "book" I already had, they
showed the blues scale in a minor,
played from different frets. What I
have never been able to understand
(I'm not as dim witted as it
sounds) was how to play the scale
in other cords (c,d,e,etc...)
From the very first chapter in your
book, I now understand that by
simply moving to a different fret
(I now know what a "root" note is
thanks to your book as well!) I can
play to a different cord. I NEVER
play with someone else because I
never know what to play. Now, I can
play along with someone because I
know what notes in that scale to
play for each rhythm cord!
This may not seem like anything,
but It is going to make playing SO
MUCH FUN for me now!!!
People talk about reaching
different plateaus - this is a
different planet for me!
Thanks you so much - I now eagerly
look forward to practicing. I'm
only on chapter 2, but I'm loving
every minute of it!
This system has worked for hundreds, if not thousands of
students, and I'm sure it will work for you.
The success stories I have received from hundreds of guitar
players all over the world are the absolute best thing for me
(next to my family, of course.) I would love nothing more than
to read your success story one day soon.
So here's
what I'd like you to do
next...
All I'm asking you to do is say "maybe." Let
me put it simply... I'm so confident in Blues Guitar Unleashed
that if you are not 100% completely
satisfied with your investment today, I'll give you a
full 365 days to send it back
for a full refund, no questions asked.
Let me say that again, it's really
important...
365 Day Money-Back
Guarantee

reason, you are not
completely satisfied with
your purchase of
Blues Guitar
Unleashed within
365
days from the
date of purchase, simply
return it for a full

Fast-Action
Bonuses!
I sincerely appreciate you even taking the time to read this
far down my letter. I had such a great time making all of the
videos and putting everything together for this course... and
I'm excited to get to share it with you.
But while I was at it, I made some extra stuff that, well...
was just cool. and I'd like to give it
all to you because I know it will help you play better.
Unfortunately I just couldn't make enough to go with every
single copy of the product. So I can only guarantee these
bonuses if you grab your copy of Blues Guitar Unleashed by
midnight on March 10, 2010.
Here's what's on the bonus DVD and CD
BONUS #1 - The "Lessons From
The Masters" Series. In these additional 4 solo
examples I've taken actual licks from solos by B.B.
King, Albert King, Freddie King, and Eric Clapton,
and put them together in to solos you can easily
learn and put to good use right away. ($47
Value)
BONUS #2 - 20 Turnaround And
Ending Licks. In case you don't have enough licks
to keep you busy in the rest of the course, here's
20 more tried and true turnaround and ending licks
straight from the blues masters themselves. ($39
value)
BONUS #3 - 14 Full Length Jam
Tracks. In addition to the play along examples
included with Blues Guitar Unleashed, here are 14
complete song jam tracks in a variety of styles,
keys, and tempos. Many of them come from other solo
examples so you'll get to try out your skills with
a great band anytime. ($19 value)
BONUS #4 - Rut Busters! I get
students all the time asking me "how do I get out
of this rut I'm in?" The answer is simple, you have
to look at your guitar and the notes in a new way.
These exercises and fingering patterns never fail
to expand your "mental model" of the fretboard and
get you playing in ways you never imagined. ($60
value)
BONUS #5 - Free Lifetime
Membership To The Blues Guitar Unleashed Forum! We
have a thriving community of blues guitar players
sharing their successes, talking about gear, and
helping each other out each and every day. I myself
spend several hours there every week joining in the
discussions. (priceless)
These bonuses come on 1 additional DVD, 1 additional CD, and
1 additional printed manual. If you order today, I will happily
throw them in, a $165 value, at
absolutely no cost as my way of saying "thank you" for giving
Blues Guitar Unleashed a try.
In the event that you are for some reason not completely
satisfied within 365 days, please feel free to keep the bonus
DVD, CD, and bonus manual as my gift to help you on your blues
guitar journey.
So What's All This Gonna Cost
Me?
Let's face it... we guitar players are a weird bunch and
I'll admit it freely. We'll run out and
spend $3000 (or more!) on a AAA top
Les Paul or a '60's Custom Shop Strat without batting an eye.
It's like a drug... we have to
have it (and you know what I mean.) I must have
20 different pedals just on the floor in my studio.
And to make that kind of investment and not get the absolute
most out of it just seems like it ought to be a
crime... and I just don't want to see that happen to
you.
It's not uncommon to find packages out there in
internet-land with only 1 DVD costing as much as $97, and I
just can't stand it. There's just no way to really give you the
kind of value and instruction you deserve on a single DVD.
Blues Guitar Unleashed is well over8 hours of
step-by-step instruction! There is enough material here to take
you through a solid year of guitar lessons... a whopping $1560
if you take them with me privately.
But today you aren't going to pay anywhere near
that...
Nope... if you decide to invest in Blues Guitar
Unleashed today your investment is only
$199$177
$137.
Yup... 5 DVDs and 3CDs plus all of the printed manuals.
Inlcuded also on the bonus DVD and CD are the Lessons From the
Masters, Rut Busters, and 20 Turnaround and Ending Licks...
everything is yours for just
$137.
You can even get started today for just $47. The course will be sent to you immediately, and you will be billed 2 additional monthly payments of $47 to cover the remainder. The choice is yours.
But I cannot guarantee that $137 price for much longer. My
costs are on the rise just like everyone else's, and if you
come back tomorrow, the price may be higher.
"I Am Actually
Playing My Guitar
Now..."
I must say at this age my learning
curve is much steeper than it was
as a child. My fingers on the fret
board looked like a drunk long
legged spider. I was beginning to
get frustrated with my lack of
progress. Your program has boosted
my confidence. I am actually
playing my guitar now. Thank
you.

The
Most Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Is this course good for a
beginner? - If you've never picked up a
guitar before, this will be over your head. In my experience,
most people underestimate their own abilities. If you can at
least play a couple of chords and maybe strum a song or two
you'll be just fine.
2. Do I have to play electric guitar or does it
work on acoustic? - The notes don't
change... blues is blues. Everything I show in this course will
work on an acoustic guitar. Some examples (lessons 14 and 30
come to mind) work even better on acoustic I think.
3. Is it hard to get a refund if I don't like
it? - It's a cinch. You'll have my email
address if you need to get in touch with me. All you do is send
it back. I'll happily refund your money if it's not for
you.
4. Is this all secure, I don't feel good about
typing in my credit card information? - In
today's world, you can't hardly get any more secure than my
order page. It is tested daily to be hacker safe by McAfee, the
industry leader.
5. Do you accept Paypal? -
Yes.
6. How much do I need to
practice? - 20 minutes per day is a good
place to start. Any less than that and you won't see the kind
of progress you are looking for. You can get by on less, but
you may get frustrated with the lack of improvement.
7. Will your DVDs work in my country? - I have students and customers all over the world. These are not region-specific and should work in most any DVD player or computer.
8. Do you ship to the UK, Australia, Africa, etc? - Yes. There are very few countries I cannot ship to.
9. How much is shipping outside the US? - Shipping charges are calculated automatically in the shopping cart once you enter your country and shipping method.
