    • No Tabs, these are just jam tracks. The chord progression is just a I-IV-V7. Example in the key of A is shown at the top of this page.

  3. As a new player, this a very helpful and user friendly site. Just ordered your book “Pentatonic Scale Fluency..” from Amazon.

    Thanks for sharing.

  4. Lee, as others have stated, I can’t thank you enough! I have purchased a couple of your manuals and they are very helpful. I completely agree with your analogies and views. One must be careful of the information they choose to guide them! I find it like climbing a long staircase. It requires energy to take the next step but, when you reach the next level, the view is overwhelming and that fuels me to carry on! My only regret is that I didn’t have this same passion and discipline as a child. Cheers!

    • Thanks Dennis. It’s never too late. I’ve been playing for probably 40 odd years, I’m still not half the guitarist as some of these 16 year old’s we see on Youtube but it doesn’t matter as long as we enjoy the journey.

  5. Thanks for your website, because of this site i finally learned how to play scales.Once i learned where the notes are on the neck, i was hooked? I wish i had this technology way back in the day? At 65 i’am finally playing along with jam tracks, mostly Blues.Thanks again Lee and God Bless. I’am still not where i want to be, but i am not where i was.

  10. Hi, your reverse chord finder has been the single most important tool in my learning the guitar. I have a painful left hand with a frozen small finger so it’s not likely I will ever be able to make barre chords and many 4 finger records. But the reverse chord finder and the other information provided enables me to locate several versions of every chord . It has also enabled me to become familiar with the fretboard.

    • Thanks. I use it myself sometimes, comes in handy. Keep meaning to add some more functionality to it but need to be in the mood, it was quite hard work creating it.

  11. Wow! This is the best Blues (and so much more) website I have come across. AND I HAVE been on a lot! I love it. Actually, well designed website too ( unlike most – which are horrible! This has become my #1 practice tool.

    Interestingly, my guitar instructor (who is amazing) was blown away when I sent him the link.

  12. Love your site!! Question on jam tracks. In Straight Up Blues..are the backing tracks in Major or Minor? Like the Key of A? So a minor pentatonic would fit better over A minor rather than A mjajor?

    Reply
    • This backing track is using dominant chords which is a major sound. In this style of music you could use either minor or major pentatonics, better still a mix of both.

  13. I’ve just registered but can only access the tracks for non members-is there something else I need to do to access the other tracks?

    • No, that’s all you should need to do.
