This week I've composed a Jump Blues lead study for you to dig into. We throw everything into this one.. that wicked fusing of so many key guitar styles, from jazz and swing to blues and boogie-woogie! Think players like Junior Watson, Bill Jennings, Charlie Baty, Tiny Grimes, Charlie Christian, Billy Butler and Sean Costello.
Raw sophistication is the aim of the game here.. hard swinging and heavy grooving bebop-infused blues lines delivered with the searing tone of a 50's Strat into a 50's tweed amp cranked up to within an inch of it's life. Oh that sweet, sweet grind! ???
