B.B.‘s Influence: Slow Blues (2nd Edition)

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.

What's In This Course

Three amazing modules to help you learn and adopt B.B. King's slow blues style.

Solo Breakdown Module

I will teach you how to play every lick in this solo using my proven method.
  • 1h 54m of Video Instruction
  • 40 Licks Across 4 Choruses
  • Demo, Slow-Motion, Breakdown Teaching Structure
  • Tablature & Backing Track

You won’t just watch me play the solo. You’ll learn it in a structured way that helps you actually remember and use the ideas.

Learn the Solo 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.
This course is 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

The 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.

Rhythm Module

If you're jamming with friends and you need to play rhythm, this course has you covered. You'll learn a rhythm part that perfectly matches the solo taught in the Solo Breakdown.
  • Learn A 48-Bar Rhythm Part To Match The Solo
  • Learn How To Adapt The Rhythm To The Song Dynamics
  • Tablature & Breakdowns
