Robben Ford - Blues Meets Jazz

ROBBEN FORD - BLUES MEETS JAZZ Nearly 3 Hours | MP4 + 70-Page PDF Booklet | Intermediate/Advanced

"From his early work with Miles Davis, to the founding of the Yellowjackets, to his metamorphosis as one of the world's foremost blues musicians — Robben's playing is intelligent, soulful, subtle, explosive and dynamic."

This is the masterclass that blues and jazz guitar players have been passing around for decades. Robben Ford sits down and tears apart the language where blues stops and jazz begins — rhythm playing, improvisation, comping, soloing, and the one-chord vamp that separates the players who sound like Robben Ford from everyone else.

Across nearly three hours of close-up instruction, Ford demonstrates how to approach both major and minor blues, takes you deep inside the harmony of "Livin' in a Fool's Paradise," shows exactly how he builds a melodic solo over a swing blues, and performs live with his trio The Blue Line — then breaks down what just happened.

Topics and performances include:

Blues Rhythms · "I Don't Play" · Minor Blues Rhythms · Soloing on a Minor Blues · "Bad Luck Blues" · "Livin' in a Fool's Paradise" (Rhythm, Soloing, Scale Choices, Full Performance) · Shuffle/Swing Blues · Music and Melody · "Start It Up" · One-Chord Blues Vamp Rhythms and Soloing · Triads and Right Hand Techniques · Picking and Double Stops · "Talk to Your Daughter" · Getting a Good Sound · Guitars and Stage Setup · "You Cut Me to the Bone" · Interview with Robben · Bonus: Vibrato · Bonus: Diminished Scale Usage
