Blow your blues playing out of the box

Forget about sounding tired and UNoriginal stringing together other guitarists licks – especially when they don’t even fit the rest of your song or solo …

Please Note: We also highly recommend that you also work with the Guitar Technique and Physiology Course so that you learn to play the blues with the proper technique.  This course gives you a comprehensive approach to playing guitar.

Create you own signature blues sound.

Now you can OWN the solo and your own sound … Discover how to create your own original sound, and how real improvised, original and exciting solos are created …

Expand you sound from simple ideas!

Just imagine starting with four 3 note patterns that work well for a blues lick – and then discovering how those 4 expand into 8 patterns – and then how those 8 patterns expand to 48 patterns – and then add some spice with bends, slides and more, and you are in Blues Heaven …

Lick Lexicon: The Blues, Volume One

shows you precisely how this works …

  • You start with 4 anchor points to get you acclimated to where melodic ideas start.
  • You’ll then be shown how to change each anchor point in 6 ways, plus an alternate way of playing the anchor points takes you to 8 variations.
  • Next, you’ll be shown how you can connect the anchor points – getting your out of the “play in one position” rut. Now add bends and other articulations, and you have a wealth of ideas on how to improvise on the blues.

Create a new way to get awesome sounding Blues Licks

Learn the tricks of the trade for instantly coming up with your own ideas when soloing … no more learning lots of “hot licks” only to find that you can’t do anything but play those “hot licks” …

There are of course thousands of lick videos out there but they do NOTHING for you in terms of developing your own vocabulary of cool sounding licks and musical phrases.

Learning famous guitar players “Licks” is important – you’ll gain insight into stylistic differences and nuances IF they are taught right. But you also need to view them within the bigger picture – if you are to ever develop your OWN playing style – and have your own vocabulary of ideas to use when you improvise.

A Home Base from which to start improvising …

What people are saying:
  • This Lick Lexicon Course was a breath of fresh air in the land of “Learn this Lick” by “X” famous person. I know a lot of licks by famous people and it’s helped me in various ways, but when I sit down to improvise I haven’t a clue where to start. Lick Lexicon gave me a simple and clear way to organize my Blues playing but really this book can could be called Rock Lexicon or Country Lexicon because these kinds of melodies can be used in all those idioms! I did myself a huge favor by downloading both sections of this course. I’m out of “Lick Hell” and starting to create some original melodies. T. Pérez
  • Lick Lexicon is a totally unique approach to learning to improvise in the Blues idiom. By organizing my playing around these ideas I feel like it all makes sense now! N. Hoffmann
  • This course was a revelation for me. I need somebody to finally explain what was going on with improvisation. I had learned some licks and some scales but couldn’t put it all together. Lick Lexicon gave me the road map. C. Nagy
  • Now that I’ve been working with this course I’m starting to see all those blues licks I learned and how they were all part of a larger pattern. Wow. J. Schmidt
