I am just over half-way through this course and I am already using some of the ideas learnt from it in my playing. Solid, useful stuff, taught with enthusiasm and care. Brilliant! And just to mention, the 'after-sales' follow-up service that James provides is second to none. I have tried loads of on-line teaching sites and this is the first one where you feel that the teacher is a real person who actually exists and responds to questions and comments. I will be letting my other teaching subscriptions lapse and just focus on TGL. Everything I need for Blues is here, delivered with great service. What more could you want?

Good Lessons with Plenty of Food for Thought

As always the emphasis is very much on useful, practical skills. James keeps it simple but shows you logical methods to become a better blues rhythm guitarist.
