• Lesson 1: This lesson is straightforward tuning notes so we can play together and sound the same. I do tune standard throughout most of the course so if you prefer to use some sort of electronic tuner, that’s no problem at all.
• Lesson 2: This lesson covers picking techniques. You will learn how to use a pick, how to use your fingers, and how to alternate between the two techniques. Plus, you will learn when to use each technique in a song.
• Lesson 3: Here we learn about the note names on your acoustic guitar. Most beginning guitarists will only learn the note names on the 5th and 6th strings of the guitar, since most chords are built on those strings, but with this lesson you will learn a proven technique to memorize all the note names up and down the fretboard.

• Lesson 4: Here we talk about basic timing and counting. As a solo acoustic guitar player, this is one of the most important lessons to learn since you are responsible for keeping time with out the assistance of a band or another player. You will learn some simple practice methods to make your timing solid.
• Lesson 5: This lesson builds on the last lesson, basic timing and counting, and introduces more advanced timing and counting in 12/8 and eighth note triplets. 12/8 and eighth note triplets are some of the most common time structures in the blues; especially slow blues.

• Lesson 6: In this lesson, we talk about the primary blues chords in the key of E. E is a very popular blues key on guitar because it allows us to take advantage of some open strings and we can get the maximum range out of the instrument.
• Lesson 7: This lesson continues in the key of E, and explains the “Blues in E” rhythm. This is one of the most common rhythm figures in the blues that gets used instead of just playing open E7, A7, and B7 chords.
• Lesson 8: Here we learn about the E minor blues scale. The minor blues scale is responsible for about 95% of all blues licks you hear. This lesson will teach you how to play the minor pentatonic and minor blues scales, and provide a few examples of blues licks using the scales.
• Lesson 9: In this lesson, we learn about extending the blues and pentatonic scales. You will learn how to play these blues scales past the open position to become more familiar with the scales all along the fretboard.
• Lesson 10: Here we learn about little chord shapes. These are very useful because they stay out of the bass range and can be inverted and moved easily. These chord shapes are very popular when playing solo acoustic blues guitar.
• Lesson 11: This lesson teaches a very popular “color chord” in the blues, the 9th chord. 9th chords aren’t really complex, but they can be a little tricky to finger. In the blues, these chords are very popular and add a whole new dynamic to your playing.

• Lesson 12: Here we explore a very popular trademark of any blues song, the turnaround. I refer to the turnaround as a “signature” portion of the blues. Every blues guitarist has their own style of turnaround, and can be recognized once you’re familiar with them. In this lesson, I provide a few Robert Johnson turnarounds that I guarantee you will recognize, but now you can play them!
• Lesson 13: Here’s where we learn how to construct a blues song. The 12 bar blues form is one of the most popular forms in blues songs. You’ll learn where to plug in chords to complete the form and you’ll see a few common variations to the form. With this lesson, you’ll be writing your own blues songs in no time.
• Lesson 14: In this lesson, you’ll learn your first song example called, “Down To The Station.” This blues song is designed for solo acoustic guitar and will feature everything you have learned so far in Acoustic Blues Guitar Unleashed.
• Lesson 15: Besides timing and playing chords, a solo acoustic guitar player is also responsible for keeping up a bass line. This lesson teaches the first basic bass line I like to call, “thump bass.” It’s a simple style of playing that will introduce you to playing solo, keeping up the bass part, the chords, and the melody all at the same time.
• Lesson 16: This lesson takes you one step further with the “thump” bass line. Here you will learn how to play a simple bass line and solo over the top of it. The provided audio recording and music will help you right along as you play your first bass line and solo together.

• Lesson 17: Here we get some more experience with the blues scale, but this time playing it in box 3. This lesson provides some cool licks for the 3rd box of the minor blues scale.
• Lesson 18: This lesson provides your second blues song example called, “Rambling All My Days.” This song focuses on licks in the 3rd box of the minor blues scale and gets you some more experience playing solo acoustic guitar!
• Lesson 19: In this lesson, there is another song example and it teaches how to play the popular “Texas Shuffle” rhythm that Stevie Ray Vaughan uses on songs like “Pride and Joy” among others. I call the song, “Sweet Little Lady,” and it teaches all you need to know about playing a “Texas Shuffle.”

• Lesson 20: This lesson moves beyond the key of E and starts in on another popular key in the blues, the key of A. Here we start off with some of the common blues rhythms in the key of A in a complete 12 bar blues form.
• Lesson 21: Now that we have gone through a lot of the basics in the key of E, you’ll notice not much has changed for the key of A, just some different frets. It’s simple to apply everything you learned in the key of E to the key of A, and this lesson continues with that mindset and goes back in time for some “Old Mississippi Blues.”
• Lesson 22: I’m convinced that the best way to learn and practice these concepts is to play them in songs that you enjoy. So this lesson provides another song example called, “Mean Old Woman Blues.” There isn’t anything new that is introduced so you’ll have more time to apply the learned concepts in the key of A.
• Lesson 23: This lesson moves onto two very cool things: the key of G and the 8 bar blues form. I find the key of G is one of my favorite keys to sing in, which may be interesting to you if you are planning on singing over your playing as well. Plus the 8 bar blues form isn’t quite as common as the 12 bar, but it’s a good idea to get this form under your fingers as well.

• Lesson 24: This lesson moves into the major blues scale. Since we’re now in the key of G, I provide a quick recap of the G minor blues scale and learning the major blues scale in any key as long as you know the minor blues scale. In this lesson, I explain a new concept called the relative major key using the minor blues key. Once you get the concept down, it’s really easy to find all the blues scales all over the fretboard.
• Lesson 25: This lesson tackles one of the most popular questions I get as a blues guitar teacher, “When do I use the major and minor blues scales?” Here we learn how to use them both in a song and which chords in the blues form to use them with. It’s an awesome lesson that will make your sound that much bluesier!
• Lesson 26: By now you’ve gotten a pretty good taste for covering the bass line, the chords, and the melody all on your own at the same time. Now it’s time to make it even cooler by playing a walking bass line versus the “thump bass” that you’re used to. This lesson provides a cool jazzy approach to the walking bass line and even gives you a song to start practicing.
• Lesson 27: This lesson introduces a new situation for the acoustic blues. Up to this point, we’ve talked about playing solo, but what if you decide to jam with a buddy? Here we address that question. I provide you with some ideas to start improvising in the key of E while someone else plays rhythm or vice versa.

• Lesson 28: Here we continue with the duo playing introduced in the last lesson, but this time I provide some ideas for playing in the key of A in a traditional 12 bar blues form.
• Lesson 29: This lesson takes us to the key of G, and introduces some of the major blues scale concepts into the picture for some jazzy sounds in your playing.
• Lesson 30: Here we take a look again at our bass lines for solo acoustic blues. We’ve had the most practice with the “thump bass,” with some walking bass lines mixed in. Now we are introduced to alternating bass notes. This lesson provides examples of alternating bass notes in all the popular keys, and some of the not-so-popular keys as well.
• Lesson 31: Here we get into some real-song applications for solo acoustic guitar. We start off with one of the most popular solo acoustic tunes, “House of the Rising Sun.” It’s a standard tune, and you will probably pick it up easily, that relies heavily on picking arpeggios rather than strumming.
• Lesson 32: Here we are provided with another popular solo acoustic song, “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out.” It isn’t necessarily a “blues” song, but it definitely sounds bluesy and is easily recognizable. This song focuses on strum patterns and chord diagrams, leaving room to fill in the melody with a friend or sing it.

• Lesson 33: The next song is another popular guitar piece, and definitely a recognizable song, “Amazing Grace.” The reason I chose this arrangement is because it features chords and the melody being played as an independent part of the song. This is commonly called a chord melody arrangement.
• Lesson 34: Now we move onto some actual solo acoustic blues song arrangements. “Deep River Blues,” by Doc Watson is a very popular solo acoustic blues piece, and while there are a lot of different arrangements out there, I modified this one slightly to work best for you. With some practice, you’ll have this tune down in no time.
• Lesson 35: The last lesson features the longest song in the course, “St. Louis Blues.” There are a few things to look out for in the tune that I go over in detail and get you some experience playing in the key of C. The lessons you learn from this piece alone will enhance your playing quite a bit, so take your time learning this one and it will definitely be a big benefit to your playing.
