About John W Tuggle
In 2008 I created this website Learning Guitar Now 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 them to gain a better understanding of how to go about improvising blues and slide .

It didn’t take long to learn that a year wasn’t long enough either as new courses, licks and podcasts are added all the time. Whether it’s BB King, Albert King, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix or Duane Allman you want to sound like, LGN gives you the technique for achieving that style and tone. It’s an amazing learning experience that seems to get better with each new lesson.
