My name is Anthony, and I've been teaching online full-time for over 15 years. In that time, I've created hundreds of free lessons and dozens of courses.
My specialty is making SRV's playing accessible to players who assumed it was impossible. My teaching is direct, simple, and my courses are highly structured and effective.
If you're looking for generic blues instruction, this isn't it. But, if you love SRV's playing as much as I do, and you're ready to get serious about learning it, you've come to the right place.
What happens if you go to a blues jam to play this song, and there's more than one guitarist? Or, if you're jamming with friends and you want to play this song? Someone has to play rhythm. With the Rhythm Bonus, you're covered. You'll learn not one, but TWO rhythm guitar parts that not only complement the solo taught in the main course, but also complement each other.
If you need to brush up on your theory, soloing shapes, or technique, don't worry, the Foundation Bonus has you covered. This 50-minute bonus module serves as an on-ramp to the main course for players who need to brush up on the fundamentals.
The only thing better than learning a great solo is being able to IMPROVISE a great solo.
The Solo Breakthrough Bonus bonus includes an additional hour of instruction that teaches you how to use what's taught in the main course to expand your ability to improvise.
