The BluesBlock Lead Guitar Method

A less mysterious and more logical approach to lead guitar playing


As a once struggling lead guitarist I knew that there had to be an easier, more logical way to learn how to visualize and understand the fretboard. And there is! Which is why I created the course. The BluesBlock method is designed to help beginners and struggling lead guitarists reach their full potential.


As a beginner, or simply frustrated student of lead guitar, your greatest opportunities lie in accessing structured and comprehensive learning resources that specifically cater to your desire to play blues lead guitar. While you may have probably tried various YouTube tutorials and online courses in the past, you haven’t found a solution that truly delivers results. You may not have been aware (until now!) that there is a unique approach designed to guide you step-by-step through the process of mastering blues lead guitar.

Here we will brush on some basic, but very useful, music theory. By the end of the lesson you will understand where Scale Degrees come from and why they are easier to use than letters when learning basic music theory concepts. I will also show you how they connect the BluesBlock to the underlying Chord Progression.

Step-by-step solo construction applying everything we have learned

Let me walk you through the intentional construction of this 12 bar solo. It is great practice to formally construct a solo as it forces you to analyse what you are doing. With time this becomes more fluid and natural and leads the way to great improvisation skills.
