New York guitarist,
producer and top-notch educator Jeff McErlain shows you how to pull your blues apart
and put them back together again so they're hotter, more fluid and far more
exciting to play. Blues has been evolving since before Muddy Waters and
Howlin' Wolf cut their first sides, and Jeff delves deep into the fretboard
to reveal the genetic code and evolution of blues-based rockers from Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page
and Jimi Hendrix to David Grissom, Scott Henderson and Michael Landau,
revealing more than just a few of his own favorite innovations along the
way.
