Struggling to Play Real Blues Guitar?
You’ve tried learning blues guitar before, but something’s always missing.
Maybe you can play a few basic licks, but when you try to put it all together and improvise, it doesn’t sound like the blues you hear on your favorite records. The timing feels off, the groove is stiff, and you’re not sure how to make it all flow naturally.
The problem isn’t your talent – it’s your approach.
The Blues Method That Actually Works:
Most blues guitar methods throw “pentatonic scale boxes” and licks with zero rhythm or phrasing at you.
Many teachers play fast to impress – but with these types of teachers, you often are left right where you began, not able to play anything.
That’s exactly why I developed a completely different approach.
Authentic blues isn’t built on flashy licks – it’s built on groove, feel, and the ability to make simple elements work together musically.
I remember learning my first blues at age 6 from Woody Mann – a simple blues called “Sugar Babe.”
When I felt my first hammer-on from the open G string to G# at the first fret over an E7 chord, my whole body tingled and my eyes teared up.
That moment taught me that authentic blues isn’t about complexity – it’s about feeling and connection.
That’s the same magic I want to share with you.
You’ll Get Guidance from a World Class Guitarist and Teacher
Hi, I’m Adam Rafferty, and for over 30 years, I’ve toured the world playing fingerstyle blues and jazz guitar.
I’ve helped students go from complete beginners to gigging musicians, and I’m confident I can help you too.
My passion is demystifying guitar playing and making it accessible to everyone. I’m excited to help you get started in “Blues For Beginners.”
Here’s What You’ll Get…
Quick overview of what’s included in this course:
- You’ll get 26 crystal-clear video lessons (3 hours and 5 minutes of instruction!) with close-ups of both hands, so you can see exactly how to play each note.
- 4 structured learning modules – start with E blues, progress to A blues, then move up the neck to play in ANY key
- Complete beginner foundation – guitar fundamentals, string names, tablature, and proper hand position (even if you’ve never held a guitar)
- You’ll have access to the complete 79-page PDF with full tablatures, original blues riffs, and fingerings for every example – no music reading required!
- You’ll jam along with 30 professional blues backing tracks, including slow and fast versions for each tune, to help you develop your timing and groove. You’ll start with the bass groove on “Grilled Tomato Blues (Page 15)” and expand from there.
- You’ll learn how to break down those tasty blues licks and use them to create your own unique solos, inspired by tunes like “Slippin’ and Slidin’ Blues” (Page 49) and “Double Stop Blues” (Page 53)
- You’ll get complete access to the course online, with the option to download videos for offline viewing anytime, anywhere.
- Plus, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of chords, scales, and the 12-bar blues structure, so you can confidently play the blues in any key – even up the neck.
- And, you’ll develop the skills to improvise your own blues solos, so you can finally express yourself musically and impress your friends!
- FULL TABS INCLUDED – NO MUSIC READING REQUIRED!
Compare this to private lessons: At $150 per hour (my private lesson rate), just 3 hours of private instruction would cost you $450 – and that’s without any backing tracks, PDF materials, or the ability to replay lessons.
This complete blues system gives you everything for just $127, plus you can review any concept as many times as needed until you master it.
