From Clueless to Confident: 
Learn Your First Real Blues Riff

Learn the riff that drives Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy" — step by step, in 5 free video lessons.

Most beginner blues lessons throw a bunch of licks at you and hope something sticks.

This isn't that.

In this free series, I'll walk you through one classic blues riff — the one that drives Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy" — until you can play it with confidence. Real shuffle feel.

Real blues sound. The kind of thing that makes people say "oh, you actually play."

Here's what's inside:

  • Why most beginners sound "off" even when they hit the right notes — and the simple fix that changes everything
  • The timing secret that separates "practicing blues" from actually playing blues (this is where most people get stuck for years)
  • A sneaky way to "buy yourself time" when switching positions — stolen straight from Muddy's playbook
  • How to add grit and flavor without learning anything new — just one small move with your fretting hand
  • The double-stop trick that makes a 3-note riff sound like you've been at this for decades

One riff. Taught right. And the skill foundation to play a hundred more.
