Blues Masters #2

All new blues guitar licks from the masters, just like the original Blues Masters #1 app!

An encyclopedia for all those eager to learn the basics of blues lead guitar and who want to discover how the legends build their solos.

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

Other videos can be purchased in-app. You can enrich your blues vocabulary and assemble your own solos with authentic licks as played by 15 of the best Blues Masters:

Jeff Beck – Chris Cain – Eric Clapton – Rick Derringer
Jerry Garcia – Buddy Guy – Warren Haynes – Mark Karan
Jonny Lang – Alvin Lee – Keith Richards – Richie Sambora
Volker Strifler – Muddy Waters – Johnny Winter
