Chuck Berry Playing Approaches
In this first lesson we’re going to talk about the king of Rock N Roll, Chuck Berry.
Chuck Berry had an enormous influence on so many people that came after him that I thought it was only right to start off this series with him.
First we’ll start with a demonstration then we’ll dive into some playing approaches and break it all down.

Albert King Playing Approaches
In this next couple of lessons I’m going to cover the mighty Albert King. Now, while most of this series is going to lean more towards Rock, I think we need to cover some of the old school Blues guys like Albert King since they laid the foundation for those that came after them and the Rock genre as a whole.

Keith Richards Playing Approaches
In this lesson we're going to talk about Mr. Keith Richards. In the early 60’s we were introduced to The Rolling Stones who were heavily influenced by American Blues Music and, as Keith Richards has openly admitted, Chuck Berry.
First I’ll play a demonstration then we’ll dive into a practice session and break it all down in detail.

Outstansing teacher and material
As an advanced guitar player knowing a lot about theory and guitar techniques I just Love how Jeff Marshall teaches music. This course is extremely well mapped, giving you some of the most interesting licks of major blues rock guitar players in a short amount of time and very fun way. All the theory is there if you need it Jeff's playing is always spot on. I like that he first shows each lick and chords slowly then moves on to a fun jam. One of the very best guitar teacher you can get.

So much special sauce
As a blues rock lover this course is absolutely fantastic. Such a long course - he doesn't go into incredible detail, but given the scope of the players he looks at, there is so much here for players at any level. Part of the value of any good course is how it engages you to work with the material, and this course engaged me in spades, unlike so many others. 1000 thanks Jeff Marshall, I am now a huge fan of your work and approach to this amazing instrument.
