A comprehensive instructional manual to master core blues chord structures, scale forms, and expressive soloing licks.
The Learn & Master Spotlight Series: Blues Guitar Lesson Book by acclaimed instructor Steve Krenz serves as an itemized roadmap to authentic blues performance technique. Designed for advancing players, this workbook delivers clear, concise pathways toward internalizing the traditional 12-bar blues layout along with its common chord substitutions and transitions.
The curriculum expands core fretboard navigation by establishing practical muscle memory for open and moveable dominant 7th chords, essential barre configurations, and scale locations on the 5th and 6th strings. Students learn how to manipulate tone colors using the rules of "blues notes"—the flatted 3rd, flatted 5th, and flatted 7th scale steps—while developing accurate muscle control for half-step, whole-step, and minor 3rd string bends. Complete with technical drills like the boogie-woogie 5ths pattern and one-octave scale routines across all keys, this manual helps players break down core blues fundamentals into creative, expressive phrasing.
