Blues for the Curious Guitarist is a 51-page instructional workbook written by Dan Dresnok, a guitar instructor with over 30 years of teaching experience. This book is perfect for guitarists looking to transition from basic pentatonic scale shapes to authentic blues solos. The chord curriculum covers 12-bar blues progressions in the keys of E, A, and C, dominant 7th chords, swing & shuffle rhythms, minor progressions, and standard turnaround patterns.
The lead & theory lessons include combining major and minor pentatonic scales, mixolydian mode & natural minor scale, pentatonic positions, and finding the blue note. You'll learn the I-IV-V chord progression, arpeggios, and how to connect scale positions across the fretboard. You'll also get six standard blues songs and bonus walkups & walkdowns.
