Skill Level: You should at least have a good foundation of basic chords and strumming before attempting this course.
Review: I’ve just finished checking out Griff Hamlin's latest guitar course, Playing Through The Blues - A Guide For The Lead Guitar Player, and I'm very impressed. While doing my reviews I get to see a great deal of products and I would have to say that most of the time I'm less than impressed with the products I am reviewing, but Playing Through The Blues - A Guide For The Lead Guitar Player has me keyed up because it is so unlike anything I have seen in a quite long time.
Learning to play the blues on the guitar can be a very frustrating undertaking. Although it appears that it should be an easy transition, there are only a small number of people who seem to know the secret to really making it sound fantastic. Griff Hamlin and his team of top notch guitar instructors have put together a really complete blues guitar course, with a step-by-step method that has actually been proven and tested on Hamlin's own guitar students over the past several years. The main blues guitar instruction book provides all of the theory, scales, tricks and techniques that you will need. It follows an easy to understand and logical progression. Each chapter in Playing Through The Blues - A Guide For The Lead Guitar Player's main book builds on the chapter before it. When you reach the end of each chapter, you'll be told exactly what you need to accomplish before moving ahead to the next chapter. This is a can't miss system.
The best parts of Playing Through The Blues - A Guide For The Lead Guitar Player are the jam tracks and audio examples. Every one of the audio examples comes with both a slow speed and a full speed version. It is done that way so you can play along easily at your own pace at first, then pick up your pace as you become a better guitar player. You will also find four complete blues guitar solos that really sound like they are from your favorite blues songs. They are so good you would probably want to memorize them and use them at your next gig or blues jam. All of the techniques demonstrated throughout the book are used, and give a great "real world" example of the approach and techniques. Plus, there are six jam tracks that come with Playing Through The Blues - A Guide For The Lead Guitar Player, so once your guitar playing gets good enough you can just play along with the band in the jam tracks. And the tracks are really fantastic quality, it's as if you are really jamming with a blues band. It's total all out fun.
Finally, included with your purchase as a bonus, is a superb book full of turnaround and ending guitar licks. Some of the guitar licks are pretty straight forward blues, but there are a couple of them that are real head-turners.
