Acoustic Blues
Learn the roots. Play with soul. Sound like a blues guitarist.
Add feeling, groove, and expression to your playing — without having to “shred.” Play iconic chord progressions, riffs, and fingerstyle blues pieces that sound great solo or with others.
Why Learn The Blues?
Blues is where it all began — the DNA of rock ‘n roll, soul, and even country music.
But this course isn’t about memorizing licks. It’s about learning the feel of blues guitar and making it your own.
If you’ve ever thought:
- “I want to add more emotion and feel to my playing.”
- “I’m tired of strumming the same old songs — I want something fresh and expressive.”
- “I wish I could jam with others but don’t know how.”
- “I’ve always loved blues but never knew where to start…”
You’re in the right place.

A Note from James
I used to learn licks… and forget them weeks later.
It wasn’t until I started learning the why behind the music that it all began to click.
That’s what I want for you. I want this stuff to stick.
And more importantly, I want you to have fun — whether it’s at home, on stage, or in a jam with friends.
There was so much more than just a video with a guy teaching you to play the guitar. The easy step by step approach, articulate and encouraging manner… With the help from James’ course my guitar playing has improved immensely in such a short time.
It was so frustrating to never be able to play an entire song even after spending so much time and money on lessons… I found James’ course and by the time I got to Chapter 3, I was already playing songs that I tried learning for 15 years. It feels like a one-on-one lesson and it really worked for me. Thank you James.
After taking private lessons for 6 months, and getting nowhere, my confidence was pretty shaken. As a last ditch effort I decided to try an online course. That was about 2 months ago and I’ve gotten farther ahead than 6 months of lessons did for me. Worth every cent.
For many years a guitar simply sat in my closet. Figuring out how to start seemed confusing and intimidating. Then I found this course. James is amazing. He is incredibly patient and thorough while simultaneously keeping it interesting and fun. I look forward to my evening practice sessions now, thanks very much to James!
