Are you a Blues-Inspired Guitarist and Want to Go to the Next Level?

I’ll be the first to admit: Sometimes I have a love-hate relationship with the guitar.

I absolutely love it when things are sounding good. I get so excited when I’m making progress and growing as a musician.

And I dread the times when I get stuck and it’s taking FOREVER to improve. Even worse is when I hit a rut and don’t even know the next step. It frustrates me. Deep down, I still have that burning desire to be really good.

Maybe you can relate.

But, then… out of nowhere…

That Big Breakthrough Moment Comes, And It Feels SO Good

You know… Those times when something CLICKS and the path ahead becomes clear and full of amazing possibilities.

You see, not that long ago, I reached one of those plateaus. I could already play a lot of songs and I could play a mean solo, but that wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to take it further. I just wasn’t sure how.

I started by “studying the masters” so to speak. I got deeper into country blues, jazz blues, fingerpicking, harmony, travis picking, you name it. But I still felt like I had “collected a bunch of parts” without a finished product.

That’s when it hit me — now is the perfect time to go back to basics and play the music I love, which is the blues. Especially with a better understanding of the guitar than I had when I was younger, it was going to be a fresh look at putting together a batch of tunes.

I have learned hundreds of songs over the years (I even published 5 volumes of my Ultimate Guitar Song Collection) and I also created blues guitar courses in the past, but I think this one is on another level.

To tell you the truth, a course wasn’t even on my mind. I was simply pursuing the music, and then I thought to myself “Claude, why don’t you share these songs, let other guitarists come along for the ride”.

And I’ll tell you why I’m so excited about this course. It’s because I’m using very simple techniques. A small batch of choice chords and some simple connecting riffs.

But even though it’s simple, it’s also full-sounding and musical. After playing guitar for over 30 years, here’s what I can tell you: Everyone starts out as a simple beginner. When you’re an intermediate cat, you try to learn every trick and technique you can get your paws on. Finally, as an experienced player, you learn not to overcomplicate things.

Simple doesn’t mean you have to play like a beginner. There’s some techniques like fingerpicking, bass note runs, and a lot more inside this course that I’ll show you. But it’s all stuff you can learn in a short time. The key isn’t to get super technical. Instead, it’s learning how to apply these techniques the right way.

That’s what I’ve figured out and I can’t wait to share it with you!

You too can develop your own blues style and play all the classic blues songs, and I can help you do it in minimum time.

Easy But Solid Techniques For Playing Blues Songs

When I “went back to basics”, I studied the blues. I listened to all the classic cats like Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Jimmy Reed, Sonny Boy Williamson, John Lee Hooker, and a lot more. I wanted to learn directly from the source. But at the same time, I recognized that it’s more fruitful to approach the guitar as a solo instrument than the band approach. What I mean by that is, I’ve always felt there’s a lot of power in being able to play a convincing rendition of a song with just you and your guitar.

Eric Clapton got his start with the Bluesbreakers, playing the classics.

That will make you even more prepared anyway when you play with others. So, that’s what I worked on. At first it wasn’t easy to emulate the sound of a full blues band with all those gnarly grooves and walking basslines. But then I discovered it actually wasn’t too bad. Often, the right strum can get you pretty close to the same feel. Other times, I do incorporate some bass lines into the songs. And it’s so important to become stronger rhythmically, no matter what style you play. That’s really the magic sauce to holding it all together.

These Arrangements Sound Good
And You Can Play Them Today

Of course I want my music to sound great, but I also know that if you try to put something too crazy into an arrangement, it hinders the performance. You want stuff that is comfortable to play. But there’s stuff that’s both comfortable and sounds great, like dominant9 chords, sliding sixths, and things like that.

That’s what I try to go for. Stuff that I can play, that feels good, that I can remember…and I want to build up a repertoire of blues songs that I can count on, plain and simple.

I have had a blast improving my blues chops with "How to play smoking blues"! The arsenal of licks in the course is impressive but even better is the way that this course explains when and how to use them. My playing has changed from just sounding like scales over a chord progression to actual blues music!!!

"The Course I bought was How to play Smoking Blues. What I like most about it is that I was able to understand more theory as it was explained in layman’s terms, not a heap of jargon. The course started a little slow however I can now see that Claude was aiming at the basics and as the course progressed I was having to go back and refresh as I am basically a newcomer to the guitar. I have watched disc 1 & 2 and I will stay there until I can master those before moving on especially Stormy Monday. I am interested in the theory as I have basically taught myself and theory starts to loose me, but this I believe was described in layman's terms and I was getting into it made some sense for the first time. I’m anticipating a big third DVD hope it goes as planned all the best thanks for your help Favourite song at present cactus by the pixie."
