From Charlie Christian to Hollywood Fats, Duke Robillard, Gatemouth Brown and many more, the unmistakable vocabulary of Jump Blues bridges the gap between Blues, Country and Swing. To play well in the style of Jump Blues one has to have an ability to anticipate and play through chord changes, as well as have a firm grasp on the language. This guitar lesson is designed to help those looking to really zone in and focus on the style in depth. It features 10 jump blues solos, all in the key of G, played at 160 bpm and at half tempo for practice purposes. The solos follow a standard 12 bar progression but with a II-V-I turnaround, characteristic of the style. This guitar lesson also comes with Power tab files and charts for each solo. There are loads of great licks and phrases to be learned, which will no doubt open up new ways of thinking about playing over blues changes.
