Have you ever wondered how great blues guitar players develop such brilliant phrasing in their guitar solos?
Have been told “He’s just feeling it” when you’ve tried to improve your blues phrasing skills?
Are you frustrated by having the same 12 notes as your guitar heroes, but never managing to master their note placement?

Learn to control your blues guitar phrasing, and discover infinite new blues soloing possibilities.
Melodic Phrasing challenges our perception of how to learn blues guitar soloing. No longer will you be ‘chasing licks’ around the fretboard; struggling because you couldn’t quite grasp the line you were reaching for.
In this book you will learn how to develop and control fundamental rhythmic fragments to create original lines and drive your blues guitar solo forward. By focusing on rhythm and phrasing, and developing these rhythmic building blocks, you’ll find true expression in your solos.
This blues guitar book is about creating a natural, organic approach to developing your guitar soloing and learning to truly improvise, while breaking away from the prison of lick playing and scales.
