It's very easy to buy a a book or DVD, much harder to actually knuckle down and work through it beginning to end.īy the way, I've spent almost all of my 35+ years of guitar learning using books, cassette tapes, DVD's and online video. And while lessons can seem expensive, you can really piss away a lot of money on books and video courses. It is probably the best way to maximize your efforts. So, again, I encourage you to consider private lessons if that is at all possible. Interacting with a teacher can clear up that confusion quickly. Since you're relatively new to playing guitar, you likely would benefit from more than just blues lessons.Ī lot of things are very confusing at first. There's a lot of things to learn about music in general. There's a lot more to mastering any music form than the specifics of that form. As compared to TrueFire courses which tend to be pretty specific, though I think are really great courses. Also, Jamplay courses are long and to a large degree progressive.

And will fill in a lot of holes you might otherwise have if you pick and choose specific things. However, the "Learn and Master Blues" is a total course. A good teacher can also be a source of motivation and encouragement. Also, personal lessons provide more than simple instruction. What the OP is asking is pretty much a description of what a good teacher will do for you. Has anyone done these courses and what would you say are the positives/negatives about them? The order I have them above is kind of the order I rate them just by looking at their websites etc. My Twangy Guitar - he has a couple of Blues courses, maybe not so comprehensive Learn and Master Blues Guitar by Steve Krenzĥ. Master the Blues by John Tuggle (Learning Guitar Now)ģ. So my question for anyone who has bothered to read this far is which of the following would you recommend for someone at my level:ġ. After all my research, I have narrowed down what looks to me to be the best comprehensive blues courses around. My objective: to play some cool blues, broaden my range other than ACDC and be able to do interesting rhythm and lead, turnarounds etc and to be able to improvise and understand the fretboard. I have learned that just through youtube. I can play along with almost all their songs just doing the rhythm parts. As you can tell by my name, I am an ACDC fan and pretty much play only ACDC at the moment. I can't solo or improvise very well (though I can do the solo to "You Shook Me All Night Long"). I don't have trouble changing basic chords. My current ability is probably intermediate. I'm not interested in private lessons to accomplish this either (although I may do that as a supplement in the future).

I prefer a course that is outlined for me and I can methodically work through it at my own leisure. Likewise with Justin Sandercoe and Marty Schwartz sites - a lot of info but I don't want to have to do all the research as to which lessons I need to do. It is almost to the point that there is so much info out there it becomes too confusing. Sites such as Truefire and Guitar Tricks are no doubt good, but I feel your are left to your own devices as to working out which courses to do, it's a bit of a minefield trying to find your way around and doesn't seem so structured.

I have searched this forum and the internet - all very confusing, and I have decided I want to buy either a DVD course or download a course.

I recently bought myself a 2014 Les Paul Standard Plus so thought I better join this forum! With all that money spent on a guitar, I really want to get the best out of it and am looking for some advice on the best comprehensive blues course around.
