Scales
Scales
Scales are an invaluable tool for any improviser - and knowing just a few of them really well can go a long way.
Licks
Licks
Every guitar player loves a good lick - and licks can really help you break into more "meaningful" soloing. Practised with intent, licks represent a brilliant way to form your own language as a musician.
Music Theory
Music Theory
A basic understand of music theory can really free you up as a player. Sometimes a simple shift of perspective can take you from "not feeling it" to having the most fun and playing your best solo yet!
Exercises
Exercises
We will learn a number of exercises that build your ability to improvise - and to play more meaningful, coherent and melodic solos.
How to Practice
How to Practice
Practice tips and tricks - to help you build an inspiring playing vocabulary that not only will serve you in a multitude of jam scenarios, but also will make it TONS more fun playing that guitar!
Case Studies
Case Studies
For our case studies, we will look at several solos. We will analyze the material, learn it and feel the inspiration that new licks can bring - but MOST IMPORTANTLY, we will look at the best ways to apply everything we learn to our own playing.

Very complete course approach using scales, arpeggios and sequences together with the usual Blues tools: bends, vibrato, legato, finishing with case studies, offering in the end the basis to developp our own improvisation capabilities. Great course

Hey bro, love the classes. Wasn't able to do them live because of time constraints but its great to have them for review any time. I've learned some cool stuff that I use from you that I added to my thesaurus of blues knowledge. Thanks so much man! Awesome!!

Quist is a really great instructor. The lessons have been well organized with a lot of documentation to back-up the instruction. Definitely intended for other-than-beginning guitarists. The TIL platform has worked well.

Honestly, it's great as it is. Lots of content to absorb for the coming week (and more)

I understand how it's very challenging to appeal to 20 people at once who may be at very different levels. Maybe two different levels of courses so you have a level 1 and a level 2 and a better chance of satisfying the desires of both levels of playing a bit more. i love your backing tracks and your video lessons, but candidly i haven't gotten as much from the first two courses as I'd hoped for. The first lesson was helpful because I never used a metronome in the past and didn't understand how to divide beats. But lesson 2 was of little value because i'm very familiar with CAGED system.
