50 Shades Of Blues - Vol.1:Swing

Denny channels a lifetime of teaching and playing, and grants you access to every shade of the blues.

Depth in phrasing, a sense of melody and an ability to phase in and out of the pentatonic scale are some of the cornerstones of brilliant blues. As Denny shows you how to draw from these ideas, you’ll lean on the teachings of blues legends and develop a more rounded expressive voice.

Through the connection of chord tones with chromatics, the use of jazz turnarounds, and spiced up swung rhythms, you will understand how to build both a bedrock for comping and soloing style that steps away from scale boxes.

In the two in-depth lessons, Denny lays out his ideas in full detail. Giving examples from players of old, and how different chord tones can improve and add interest to your fretboard navigating licks.

Then follows 43 swinging licks that can be learnt note by note, or used as a way to understand the language that Denny is so fluent in. Then, as further extended “on the job” lessons come two solos. Improvised there and then in the JTC studio, these two takes show you how Denny connects his ideas in real time, so that you can do the same.

This Masterclass includes 43 licks, 2 solos, 2 video lessons, 3 lick backings, solo backing, a study guide and full tab/notation in GP and PDF format.

Don’t just paddle at the shore of the sea of blues, dive into the ocean. With jazz infused ideas and swing as the star of the show, you’ll be adding interest and artistry to your blues in no time.
