Learn to play modern or "fusion" blues and crank out mind-boggling solos every guitarist wishes they could play - but never do!

Description

Play Modern Blues Now is an practical modern blues or “fusion" course taught by Steve Stine, Professor of Modern Guitar Studies at North Dakota State University.

  • Learn techniques and tricks to create sounds you only hear in Fusion Blues
  • Develop your own unique style and signature sound

Start from the blues basics like the 12-bar blues and I-IV-V progression and move on to learn advance tricks and techniques like:

  • Adding the 9th and 6th scale extension to spice up your sound
  • The hybrid and dominant pentatonic scale
  • Shape bending technique and parallel key soloing to add a subtle "kick" to your solos
  • The altered dominant scale and half diminished scale to give your solos an edgy, moody feel
  • Chromatics and arpeggios
  • How to always play with interesting rhythm elements
  • Vocal techniques like slides, bends and vibrato
  • Guitar elements (whammy bar, double stops, open strings, string skipping)
  • and much much more...

If you're an intermediate guitar player looking to build a fresh unique sound to your playing then this course is for you!

I am actually starting to have fun and even.... sound good.... when playing with a backing track. I've been practicing the techniques like hammer-on/off, slides, etc. and trying to memorize pentatonics for a while now, but had gotten a bit frustrated. This is awesome - thanks!

Low on the theory, but lots of useful shapes and ideas. Would have liked to see play along examples for the Altered Dom and H-W Dim scales.

This is exactly what I needed as a self-taught intermediate. I have felt a bit in a rut lately and this is giving a lot of new awesome stuff to try to spice up my playing. The teaching style and course materials are excellent. Thank you very much Steve!

Well organised and to the point explaination for building up a melodic solo with variety of creative idea such as parallal and relative key soloing, shapes idea etc. Excellent course for blues rock guitar solo learner. It would have been a great complete course if some landing idea was given for 4 & 5 chord.

Just wow... This courses is for intermediates who want to go to the next step. Steve give us all the stuff to know to play the blues. All about the modes, the chords subsititions or other stuff... with direct sound check and finger position. All is clear and well explained. Lectures are sometimes quites long, 15 minutes or more. That's quite long when you need to stop to takes notes or go back to see again the fingers. It's first time I learn so much in a guitar course in Udemy... Many thanks to Steve Stine. :)

I love Steve Stines instruction. He is clear, engaging and always sounds super excited about whatever he is talking about. That guitar tone is also freakin’ unreal! EDIT: Those PDFs are awesome! Tabs out a ton of the things he does in the video. The PDFs alone are worth the price of the course!
