Ultimate Blues Rock Rhythm

Blues rock rhythm guitar from palm-muted open chords to drop D and hard rock riffs, with a solid lead foundation and a set of blues licks.

What you will be able to play

• Play palm-muted blues rock rhythm on open E and A with hammer-ons, pull-downs, scratches and upstroke catches.
• Turn open D, G, C and F chords into riffs with bass notes such as D/F# and pull-offs to open strings.
• Build C, G and A power chord riffs with slides, chucks, double stops and pinky stretches.
• Play the 7#9 chord in three positions and switch between it and an E minor pentatonic riff.
• Tune to drop D and play one-finger power chord riffs with open-string pedalling and raked strums.
• Add hard rock colour with gain, suspended chords, pinch harmonics and a swung boogie feel.
• Bend to pitch, add wrist vibrato and switch between A minor and A major pentatonic over an A chord.
• Play blues-rock licks in several keys with step-and-a-half bends, double stops and double-string bends.

Is it for you?

Guitarists who can already play the open chords E, A, D, G and C, strum in time and change chords without stopping, and who want real blues rock rhythm parts instead of plain strumming. The warm-ups and the ballad and power chord lessons suit an advanced beginner; most of the rhythm and all the lead modules are intermediate. If you have never played a 12-bar blues, learn the basic form first: the course does not teach it. Not for complete beginners, and not a shred course.
