INCREMENTAL LEARNING REDUCES FRUSTRATION
If you want to develop sophisticated blues guitar skills, this course is for you. Using the 12 Bar Blues as a starting point, it gradually builds in complexity, develop a rich, complex blues sound in an engaging, straight forward way.
80/20 APPROACH - ACHIEVE MORE WITH LESS EFFORT
It takes 10+ years to master the blues... HOWEVER, using the 80/20 rule, you can become a convincing blues guitarist in a fraction of that time. This course achieves this by cutting out excess blues theory and fine tuning techniques, and focusing on the more easily attainable skills (like essential chord variations and key blues strumming patterns) that get you 80% of the way towards mastery.
COMPLEX IDEAS MADE SIMPLE
Course instructor, Mark McKenzie, is a master guitar teacher with the intuitive ability to deconstruct complex guitar concepts into their necessary parts, and then teach them in the most accessible way. Along the way, Mark provides insightful tips and advice that make learning new concepts a fast and easy process.
ANYONE CAN DO IT... AND IT'S FUN!
If you know your basic open chords and a strum or two, you can use this course. Best of all, Mark makes it exciting with fun jam-alongs and his trademark easy going teaching style.

About the Instructor
Hi, I'm Mark McKenzie. I'm the Head Guitar Instructor at Jamorama.com. I'm also a contributor to Guitar Player Magazine, and the Creator of the Mark the Guitar Guy YouTube channel. When I started learning the blues in my teens, the only resources available to me were guitar magazines and artist recordings, which were really difficult to get hold of. Back then, I would have given my eye teeth to have access to quantity of information we have at our fingertips today. The web provides us with overwhelming opportunities for learning, but there's the rub... Before the web, the challenge was "How do I get the lessons I need?" Today it's, "Which lessons DON'T I need?" In short, the problem we have today is that there's too much information. How do we discern what's good and what's not? In this brief but punchy blues course, I give you just the information you need to take your blues playing to a higher plane. If you follow this course, you'll quickly move beyond simply strumming the 12 bar blues to playing a more gritty, nuanced, and soulful version of the blues. As Kieth Richards said:
“If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.”
