We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again… killer rhythm chops gets you the gig every single time. Players with blazing lead chops are a dime a dozen today and most of them skipped all their rhythm classes to develop those chops. Their loss is your gain. Bandleaders, jammers, singer-songwriters, musical directors and the like will always pick the solid rhythm player over a skilled lead player. So yeah, its all about rhythm.
Jeff’s Lead Guitar edition of the Blues Guitar Survival Guide distills a massive range of blues-centric leads guitar techniques, stylings, harmonic knowledge and creative approaches into a hands-on, accelerated and highly intuitive curriculum. No tedious theory, no boring exercises — you will play your way through the course exploring and learning essential concepts and then immediately applying them in a musical context.
What is groove? Ask a hundred players and you’ll get 100 different answers. You’ll hear that groove ‘makes the music breathe’ and that groove is the way ‘an experienced musician plays a rhythm compared with the way it’s written,’ and that groove is ‘what makes people who can’t dance wanna feel like dancing.’ Groove is all that and more but the one thing everybody seems to agree is that when you hear and feel it, there’s a bass player smack dab in the middle of it. And if you look up ‘groove’ in the dictionary, you’ll find Andrew Ford’s picture smiling right back at ya.

If you had a dollar every time some poor soul is up on the local blues jam bandstand looking like a deer caught in the headlights because someone called for a 12/8 or a gospel or a jazz blues or even a little twist on a classic shuffle and they don’t have a clue what to do — you’d be reading this on your yacht in Tahiti. Yet, there’s always that one cat who knows what to play and when to play it whatever is called out.
