One of the main bonuses of courses with MusicGurus is the industry professionals who are deployed to guide you on your journey of exploration no matter which course it is you undertake. With MusicGurus Play Authentic Texas Blues Guitar the lessons are eloquently presented by one of the world's leading blues guitarists, Scott Mckeon. Throughout the 31 episodes Scott draws on his experience and years of service in the industry playing with artists like Sir Tom Jones, to explain the characteristics of the genre and really pushes you to innovate and craft your own ideas within Blues to fully cement the techniques and theories presented.
Alongside the 1 hour and 15 minutes worth of video content recorded, Scott has also provided downloadable PDFs, transcriptions and backing tracks of key aspects that you will explore in the lessons. They are completely free and will allow you to have something to practice even when you're done with the video aspect of the course, or are just taking some time to absorb the information you have been given.
When taking up any instrument, the most efficient way to learn is through exercises and then putting them into practice in the context of songs that use the same techniques. MusicGurus Texas Blues Guitar does this by teaching you licks inspired by some of the greatest blues guitarists of all time including, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, BB King and Jimmy Vaughan. Across the course of 31 lessons, the techniques you will learn are broken down by Scott in the form of some classic blues exercises and one of his own original tracks that use these techniques, 'Take Me Back'.
The free backing tracks provided will be a key asset in starting to apply the ideas to your work as you can start to play along anywhere, anytime in a stress-free way where the only person listening is you. By doing this, you will learn all about the characteristics of the genre and understand different performance techniques that give the blues its classic sound and also gain a portfolio of classic riffs and licks that you will not only be able to play but be able to fully understand how and why they are techniques and licks that define a genre.
There is nothing worse than the feeling of being rushed when trying to learn and understand something as deep and complex as music, after all, everyone takes on information at different rates and sometimes online learning platforms provide limited-time-only licenses and subscription services that pressure you into further purchases and more expensive subscription periods.
