This course will focus on string manipulation. It is critical for the guitarist to master the techniques involving pitch modification. In order to be able to emulate the human voice in the blues genre, you must be able to hear and execute all of the microtones that exist between the fixed pitches of the chromatic scale.

Welcome to this second volume of Guitar Lab: Blues Riff Blueprints Vol. 2.
