Here you learn to make basic combinations with chords and solo's from scratch. The key to make the combinations is that you always know where in the bar and the form of the blues you are. This is a basic slow blues guitar form with :
Am7 / Dm7 / Am7 / Am7 /
Fmaj7 / E7 / Am7 Dm7 / Fmaj7 E7

One of the crucial things I always teach my students is that you always need to know where you are in the music and feel what is the best thing to do next. At the beginning this is of course a task for everybody and the way to succeed is to reduce the difficulty level and to focus on the music and musical form. Here in this tutorial I show you how to use some very basic chord variations and how to follow this blues in G with your chord variations.

The most common question in many years of teaching guitar is how to use the mixolydian mode in blues guitar. Here I show you a good method to start using the mixolydian mode the easy way just by following the regular chords of this standard blues in D with the following chord progression :
D / G / D / D
G / G / D / D
