Jack's Manual for Tasty Blues Soloing

The first rite of passage for a blues guitarist is learning how to take the stage and shift their focus from playing scales and arpeggios to expressing themselves and connecting with their audience. While technical proficiency is important, it is only one aspect of the music-making process. The most captivating musicians are those who have honed their emotional expression and can connect with their audience on a deeper level.

Jack Ruch is widely respected as one of the tastiest, most expressive blues players on the planet. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Jack is back with a new TrueFire course, Jack’s Manual for Tasty Blues Soloing (the follow up to his last “manual” on rhythm playing).

”In this ‘manual’ for tasty blues soloing I’m going to show you flavorful approaches for soloing over four must-know blues feels – Shuffles, Slow Blues, Minor Blues and a Rockin’ Blues. It took me years to learn these approaches the hard way. I’m happy to pass them on to you here in this course.

I’ll demonstrate eight of my go-to approaches, we’ll apply them over jam tracks for context, and then I’ll break every move down for you in juicy detail. You’ll play your way through all of the lessons and we’ll practice together as much as you need. Enjoy!

A lot of the things that I’ll be showing you I’ve learned myself over decades of playing out and learning from my own favorite players. I’m excited to share these eight approaches with you to give you a solid jump start!”

Jack will cover Building & Moving Motifs, Double-Stop Applications, Dynamics, Phrasing, & Intent, Altered Scale Colors, Soloing Guidelines for Minor Blues, Diminished Line Applications, and Strategies for Playing Driving Leads.

You’ll have all of TrueFire’s advanced learning tools at your finger tips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.

You can loop, slow down, or speed up any section of a lesson. Plus, all of the tab and notation is synced to the videos for the optimal learning experience. You’ll also get tab and standard notation files to print out, Guitar Pro files, and all of the backing tracks to practice with.

Grab your guitar, and let’s dig in with Jack Ruch!
