Does your blues playing ever start to sound one-dimensional?

Blending major and minor blues is the missing piece. And nobody did it better than B.B. King.

This two-course bundle shows you how to use that approach in both slow blues and swing blues.

Most Blues Players Only Practice Minor Blues

Most of us start by building our solos from minor pentatonic ideas, and then we get stuck.

That sound is powerful, but it starts to sound boring, and one-dimensional.

B.B. King approached things differently. He blended major and minor phrases together to create a sweet, soulful sound.

The King of Contrast

B.B. King’s playing wasn’t built around a single sound. It came from combining two different kinds of contrast.

Contrast 1

Minor Phrasing

Tension
Intensity
Aggression

Major Phrasing

Soothing
Sweet
Resolution

Contrast 2

Slow Blues

Soulful
Reflective
Emotional

Swing Blues

Uplifting
Danceable
Refreshing

Two Complete Solos

Each course teaches a full solo built from actual licks that B.B. King played, and inspired by his actual phrasing.

Slow Blues Solo

Swing Blues Solo

In the courses, you won’t just watch these solos. You’ll learn them in a structured way that helps you actually remember and use the ideas.

Learn the Solos in a Way That Actually Sticks

Most players can learn a few licks, but by the time they reach the end of a solo, they’ve already forgotten the beginning.

These courses are designed to solve that problem.

Instead of learning everything in one pass, you build the solo step by step and keep everything connected as you go.

A Simple Three-Step Approach

Each solo breakdown follows a consistent structure that helps you learn, retain, and apply what you’re playing.

Step 1:
Learn Licks

Each lick is taught using the same format.

Full-speed demo
Half-speed demo
Note-for-note breakdown

You'll hear, see, and understand each lick clearly.

Step 2:
Repeat Phrases

Each time you learn a few licks, you'll practice them together as a combined phrase.

This repetition will help you to connect the licks smoothly and embed them deeply into your memory.

Step 3:
Integrate Everything

As you move forward, you'll continuously revisit what you’ve already learned.

The licks you already learned stay connected to the new licks you're working on.

How Your Playing Will Improve

More expressive phrasing using major and minor ideas
Better timing across slow and swing blues
Clearer understanding of how phrases fit the chords
Ability to connect licks into complete ideas
A vocabulary you can actually use
