Advanced Blues Guitar - This Is How To Learn Online!

Earlier this year, I decided to really focus on my advanced blues guitar skills. Playing blues guitar has always been one of the things that really attracted me to the guitar in the first place, so I thought to myself, why not try to really master it? I searched the internet for the best advanced blues guitar courses and if I'm honest, most of the stuff available is aimed at beginners. I stumbled upon, (strangely enough it was actually through the website StumpleUpon.com) a website called...









www.UltimateBluesBackingTracks.com

They have a whole catalogue of blues backing tracks you can download and the cool thing is, the tracks all come with a bunch of blues licks and if you get the whole package you get a 10 week guitar course and a pentatonic scale 'mastery' course for free! Just what the doctor ordered!

I'm the kinda guy that has a massive collection of guitar magazines and about a million blues backing tracks. The trouble is, most of them sound kinda fake but these ones sound AWESOME! It says on the site that all the tracks were recorded by a real blues band and you can really hear it. I always jam along with them nice and loud and it sounds just like I'm playing with a live band.

I downloaded all 50 of the tracks and had a good look through the pentatonic mastery guide. It's really, really good stuff! It teaches you all of the scale shapes for the pentatonic and the blues scale and goes through some signature licks of some cool players like Clapton, Gilmour, BB King, SRV etc. Then I had a good read through of the 10 week guitar course and whoa, talk about go into the details! You get a bunch of lessons that are broken down into different areas like, Speed Exercises, Scales, Chords, Theory so with each lesson you're learning a bit about all the key areas you need to focus on to get better. I'm gonna adapt my own teaching materials for my guitar students to follow this method because it's arranged on the page so well, it's really easy to follow.

I'm really glad I gave the site a try, not only are the blues backing tracks AWESOME! Try getting bored with 50 different tracks to play along to! The sheer amount of tuition material you get with it, more than 500 blues licks and the extra free guitar courses totally make this a worth your while! The tracks are all really inexpensive and the amount of them means you have new stuff to play around with every time you practice. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is the best system I've found for advanced blues guitar. Go get involved!
