In this Course I want to show you how to play a Ballad Style Slow Blues in the key of B. You’ll learn a rhythm and lead part that utilizes the concepts and techniques taught in my Blues Lead and Rhythm Paths.

The style of blues taught in this course is similar to Etta James’s I’d Rather Go Blind and Chris Stapleton’s Tennessee Whiskey.

Playing over this kind of blues will test your phrasing and feel as you really have to make every note count when playing this style in my opinion. In addition to the lessons, I’ll also show you how I got the tone for this course, how you can achieve this tone with more budget friendly gear, and some different ways to think about improvising over a track like this.
