Use double stops, triads and spicy chordal fragments to make your unaccompanied blues playing sound more complete, compelling and authentic! With a strong focus on groove, pocket and tone, we combine rhythm and lead guitar duties into one dynamic piece that ebbs and flows it's way twice through a basic 12 bar progression in A.

Katie King

My favorite style of lesson; I can hardly wait =)

Minstrel atHome

Great lessaon, Mate, thank you. Which overdrive are you using to get so much nuances in your crunch tone ? Wishing you a great week-end ahead

Christopher James

What a wonderful surprise this Saturday! Perfect

Alex Farran Guitar

Thanks buddy! Check out the tone talk section around halfway through the video, but in short it’s the Analogman King of Tone pedal (red side, everything set to 2 o’clock)

Rick

Thanks Alex!More tasty licks, also my favorite subtle blues-rockabilly!

Alex Farran Guitar

Thanks Rick! Yes indeed, always nice to sneak some rockabilly vocab in there!

CMDRocks

Another very useful lesson. You've been one of the best influences on my journey to sound better. Please keep up the good work and give Rosie a scratch.

Gary Paice

I love it. I use a lot of backing tracks but several of your non-backing track lessons are really helping me.

R Bruce Stewart

Alex HELP ME. My first live blues music was lightning Hopkins. After 60 years of fooling with Guitars, my favorite thing is just sit and play and sing some on my electric guitars mostly. Can you tell me the first two or three of your lessons that I should be looking at to focus that. I have taken several and I think they are all excellent but I’m trying to get focused on this thing that I actually enjoy most. Love your lessons. Love your materials. Thank you.

Michael Hurley

"if you took a D7 and dragged it all the way out of the water" is a lovely turn of phrase

David Lockwood

Really interesting lesson Alex. Some lovely playing, particularly round the lower string double stops - well all of it really. I would love to do it but my work is cut out on your Chicago blues presently - class! This is definitely one for the future tho! Thank you.

Alex Farran Guitar

That’s great Gary! Essential to be able to play solo like this in my view. 👌🏻

Timothy Daniels

As I watch and learn from your channel I occasionally wonder how the Beatles learned all this stuff in a country that was bombed mercilessly for 5 years. A miracle I’d say.

John Canton

Another Excellent lesson Alex. Thank You. you are certainly the best.

Minstrel atHome

Thank you, Alex, I missed the information on my first viewing of your lesson. I was certainly too busy with my fingers, and my ears or my memory missed some of your words…

Brad Cartner

Hi Alex. I just signed up. I’m a new member. Do you have printable tabs available or just backing tracks? I can only see backing tracks available for download on the lessons I’ve checked out.

Brad Cartner

This may not surprise you, Alex… But I’m the guy who wrote you in a panic several days ago because I couldn’t find the tab that I bought for South of Cheyenne. Sorry you have to deal with me again lol I can only see the backing track zip files. I will check out what you just sent, and keep poking around. I do not doubt you when you say it’s easy. I’m simply a cursed man with technology.

Brad Cartner

I’m in! Once again, I failed to realize that everything was contained in the one download including tabs. You made it so easy it tricked me. Haha. I got some blues to play now. Thank you for your patience with me.

Alex Farran Guitar

Hi buddy, I'd suggest having a look at any of my "dirty blues" or "delta blues" lessons.. even though the latter are on acoustic, they will work beautifully on electric guitar too and are all things that I designed to sound complete on their own, without the need for backing tracks etc.

Jeremy Boone

ALEX!!!! This is 🔥🔥 So glad I discovered you and your gift. Can’t wait to unpack this and learn. THANK YOU!!!!

Alex Farran Guitar

It's no bother whatsoever my friend, I'm glad you got it all sorted! 🙏🏻
