I’ve always been around the blues.
Unlike most kids born in the 90s, I grew up on a blend of Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton and B.B. King. Their music was the soundtrack to my childhood and some of the first I learned to play.
By age 15, I’d decided: I was going to be a musician. And over the past 15 years, I’ve done just that, gigging, teaching and refining my skills in everything from prog rock to electronica.
But I never got over the blues.
But I never got over the blues.
I spent years learning different genres and soaking up theory before I realised the best way to learn the music you love is by studying it. Not by getting bogged down in books.
Once I stopped being a jack of all trades musician and focused on acoustic blues, I found my voice on the guitar. And I made it my mission to help dazed and confused blues pickers do the same.
That’s when the Blues Guitar Show Podcast was born.
That’s when the Blues Guitar Show Podcast was born.
I launched my free weekly acoustic blues lessons during lockdown to help pickers around the globe progress and have fun in the process. But what started as a side project has since aged into something much bigger.
Today, we’re over 5000 thousand monthly listeners strong, and the show has inspired a barrel of other services designed to help you scale up your practice and start jamming. Which begs the question…
Are you ready to get pickin’?
Whether you’re new to the blues or you want to progress beyond 12 bars, let’s make sure you stay on the practice wagon this time.
