Blues-Rock Evolution

Classic (Blues) Rock Must Have!

Jeff McErlain has his own roots in the great American Blues players: Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Freddy King, Albert Collins… In the 60s & 70s, it was the great British Rockers & Hendrix who took the work of these earlier players and re-packaged it. In this course, McErlain takes five progressions used by these more modern players and shows us how to solo over them drawing from the same sources Page, Clapton, Hendrix, Blackmore, and Beck used. As always, every lick is broken down so it is easy to learn every lick and solo, even if it will take years to get them up to speed! I love how McErlain explains where each progression and lick come from, the sounds various players used, how far these same progressions move through the decades, and who used them. This is an older program, but all the tools are here and McErlain is brilliant. Don’t be put off by there only being five progressions here. There are dozens of unique licks, techniques, and solos that will take months to work through. Lots of great history and an encyclopedia of material to play. This is a must have course for anyone serious about playing Blues Rock or Classic Rock.

Turbocharge Your Blues Playing

Jeff McErlain is one of that rare breed - a seriously good guitar player who is also an excellent teacher. This is one of his earlier TrueFire courses (so no tab sync) but Jeff provides a super-sized bucketful of tips, techniques and examples to turbocharge your blues soloing and rhythm playing - enough to keep you going for a very long time. A really great set of lessons to dip into for some inspiration.

Blues Rock Revolution !!!

This is an older course, but Jeff nails the vibe and lays down inspirational riffs and licks that harken to bands like Free and Led Zeppelin. Nice foundation, and for me quite inspirational, simple but yet very effective primer to take your blues rock playing to another level. I used to play in a 3 piece blue rock band decades ago, though I am more technically efficient now, I actually had forgotten how great these riff driven style of blues rock is. I high recommend this course, Jeff is one of my favorite instructors on True Fire

Great

Well organized as it is with all of the courses. Great product

Awesome Rhythm Grooves with Modal Applications!

This is a great rhythm guitar course by itself. Jeff provides many paths from each of the motifs he lays down thereby assuring an expressive way of playing rhythm guitar. I continue to review this DVD of his to remind me of the importance rhythm guitar has in Blues. You won't be disappointed with this one in your library!!
