Blues for the Curious Guitarist (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798746438201)

Master the Blues. Understand the Theory. Stop Memorizing and Start Playing.

Why do most guitarists get stuck in the "Pentatonic Box"? Because they learn shapes instead of the logic of the blues. Blues for the Curious Guitarist is a focused, 51-page workbook designed by professional educator Dan Dresnok to bridge the gap between "knowing a scale" and "playing a professional solo."

No Filler. Just Progress. This workbook is built for the guitarist who wants a structured, step-by-step path. Every chapter builds on the last, moving you from the absolute basics of the 12-bar blues to advanced improvisation techniques used by the greats.
