Hi Folks,
Hope all is well. I know it's been a while since I posted anything on this blog. I've been on this blues "kick" for the past few months. So, I've been posting most of my lessons over at my blues blog: MasterBluesGuitar.com.
And of course, most of the info/lessons I've been posting there are related to my Blues Guitar Secrets course that I released, Dec. 2006. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going working on a new series of lessons...
As you know, "The Blues Had A Baby, And We Call It Rock-And-Roll." Now, I can't remember who said that but it was some famous guitar guy. And I couldn't agree more.
In fact, if you listen to songs like "Badge" by Cream or "Whipping Post" (Gregg Allman) or "Smoke on the water" by Deep Purple you'll hear a constant blues influence:
You can take any of these licks and simply "cut-and-paste" them into your next solo.
Here is blues-rock lick #1:
Note: right-click the links below and choose "Save As..." to save a copy of lick (pdf) and the recording (mp3) to your hard drive.
Also, for all you "tone-hounds" out there, here's the gear that I used to make each recording:
Lastly, feel free to email the link to this lesson (just copy-paste the link you see in your web browser right now) to your any of your guitar buddies. I want everyone to benefit from these lessons.
Now go practice!
Cheers,
Dan Denley

In fact, if you listen to songs like "Badge" by Cream or "Whipping Post" (Gregg Allman) or "Smoke on the water" by Deep Purple you'll hear a constant blues influence:

- lots of bends
- the "flat-five" blue note (the b5th in a pentatonic minor scale)
You can take any of these licks and simply "cut-and-paste" them into your next solo.

- Marshall JCM900 100W, hi-gain, dual-reverb head (with fresh tubes)
- 4x12 Celestion Marshall cabinet
- a BBE Sonic Stomp pedal
- Tom Anderson guitar (drop-top)
