AGW Goes Electric! With 60 Day FINGERSTYLE BLUES CAMP, the Acoustic Guitar Workshop focuses on acoustic guitar and Fingerstyle Blues. However, no study of blues guitar can be complete without a look at electric stylings and techniques. So why not a 60 Day version for electric blues guitar? Is this heresey for AGW? We don't really think so. Techniques can be interchangeable and adaptable from the acoustic to the electric instrument, and vice versa! Many acoustic players also play electric. Furthermore many acoustic guitar players would like to know more about the electric side of the instrument. Which is why we're happy to announce the UK launch of Truefire's BLUES U, a staggeringly comprehensive and revealing spotlight on electric blues guitar technique. As Fingerstyle Blues can be played on an electric guitar, so too can electric licks, tricks and techniques be lifted, adapted and transported to the acoustic instrument. A guitar is a guitar after all! Assuming you have the willingness to play and learn, what you can do with your guitar is merely limited by your knowledge and technical ability. BLUES U is a compendium of priceless knowledge, an encyclopedic source of wisdom taught by the best in the business. Master BLUES U and you're well on the way to being a master blues guitar player. |
BLUES U is the first quick-learning system for guitar to employ a "cognitive" format, which adapts itself as well to beginners as it does for advanced players. Eight semesters of top-notch instruction cover every style, technique and nuance of blues guitar. This study course is unlike anything you've ever seen. Students may cherry-pick their starting point. You don't need to read music. You don't need to learn theory. You do need to spend an hour a day, for 60 days, working on the semesters you've selected. Stick to it for the 60 days and you'll develop an arsenal of blues licks, rhythm guitar parts and techniques that will have you playing killer blues guitar on the 61st day or we'll give you every penny of your investment back. Each semester includes over 2 hours of audio instruction, 40-60 hours of practice material and is formatted in MP3 (audio), PDF (tab) and Power Tab — allows you to "see" and "hear" tab played out at any tempo in perfect pitch. Semesters are packaged on CD and include an interactive manual and Power Tab software.
