Blues guitar isn’t about shredding scales or memorizing a hundred licks. It’s about feel, flow, and learning how to make a handful of well-placed chords sound like music. If you’ve ever felt stuck playing the same old open chords — or you’ve tried learning blues but it never quite clicked — you’re in the right place.
This collection of beginner blues guitar lessons is designed specifically for hobbyist players who’ve been at it a while, but never really learned the why behind the chords, rhythms, and progressions. We’ll show you how to build a rock-solid foundation, starting with easy blues chord shapes and 12-bar progressions, then gradually adding flavor with 9ths, chord substitutions, and other rhythm tricks.
All of our blues courses are taught by Colin Daniel, a veteran teacher with over 40 years of experience helping players finally understand their guitars. Whether you’re just getting started or you’re trying to break out of a long plateau, you’ll find lessons here that are approachable, practical, and immediately useful — no fluff, no theory overload, just real blues playing that actually sounds good.
