Praise for Blues Masters #1:
“The Blues Guitar app created by [G-Men Productions] is so full of enjoyable and entertaining elements that it is sure to inspire everyone who uses it to grab the nearest guitar and start playing. They’ve taken the age-old process of teaching guitar and infused it with stunning animation, sound, photos, and video.… Those who already play guitar will not be able to resist using the app to learn more, and those who don’t play will want to run out and find a guitar just to be part of the digital world that [they] have built. I’ve been writing about the guitar, and playing it, for more years than I care to count, but seeing [this] app made my jaw drop for the first time in a decade.”
—HP Newquist, former Editor-in-Chief, GUITAR magazine; Executive Director, The National GUITAR Museum; author, “The Way They Play” Guitar Series

Learn 9 of the original 56 authentic riffs from six of the 15 masters of the blues guitar that are in the paid version (Blues Masters #2). These riffs are designed to sound great over each portion of the blues progression. They're presented (using notes and tab with audio and animation) in two measure chunks—organized by where they fall in the standard 12-bar progression. Some riffs also feature video instruction. 35 of the riffs have video instruction in the paid version. If you upgrade to all of the Blues Masters #2 Complete Original Content in the Shop, more videos can be purchased in-app. You can enrich your blues vocabulary and assemble your own solos with authentic licks as played by six of the best Blues Masters:

Jeff Beck – Warren Haynes – Mark Karan
Keith Richards - Richie Sambora - Johnny Winter
