Truefire Damon Fowler Blues Jam Survivor TUTORiAL

Everything You Need to Know to Survive a Blues Jam
The best way for a guitarist to improve their soloing and rhythm chops is to play with as many other musicians as possible. Fortunately, for blues players, that’s easy enough to do simply by jumping on stage at the local blues jam or getting together with your buds to jam on some tunes.

Damon Fowler’s Blues Jam Survivor is an essential collection of soloing approaches, comping techniques, blues jam lingo, and etiquette tips that you must know to not only “survive” the blues jam, but to also keep getting invited back on stage.

” I’ve clocked thousands of hours playing blues jams over the years. In this course, I’ll pass on soloing and comping approaches, blues jam lingo, and even a few etiquette tips that I’ve picked up from my own experiences. My goal is to increase your confidence, equip you with some essential tools, and inspire you to put your name on the list and get up on the stage! “

Damon will demonstrate what to do at a big blues jam when you have multiple guitarists on the stage, especially the importance of laying down a solid rhythm part and staying out of the way of the other instruments.

You’ll learn Damon’s “Big City Chords” and what to do with progressions that go beyond the standard 1 4 5 changes. Damon will show you some of his favorite right-hand approaches including hybrid picking, flat-picking, and when to use a fingers-only approach. Getting your vibrato dialed in is critical to sounding like you, so you’ll also explore a few effective approaches.

”We’ll talk about other left-hand tricks: slides, hammer-ons, bends, and what to do when you’re accompanying a singer on the jam to give the singer the spotlight. And of course, we’ll also talk about some of the lingo you may hear at the jam, and some useful tips on how to carry yourself both respectfully and confidently.”

Damon will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.

Grab your guitar and let’s get on the jam stage with Damon Fowler!
