About John W Tuggle
In 2008 I created LearningGuitarNow.com to show students how to play blues and slide guitar. After years of live playing and teaching private lessons to students I wanted to show the world the lessons I felt would really help students gain a better understanding of how to improvise blues and slide guitar. I believe anyone can play the blues and when you can play the things you want to on the guitar, it becomes so much more enjoyable and gratifying.
