50 Shades of Blues: Box Set

Across two Masterclasses, Denny uncovers the hidden corners of note choice, articulation and phrasing to help you write your own musical language that’s more engaging.

In each Masterclass, Denny provides solos, licks and lessons based on different disciplines of the blues. Built on his huge knowledge of playing and teaching, they are an all access pass to the backstage of improvising and crafting lines across a variety of progressions.

Vol 1 - Swing

Bring in the swing with an 8th note approach and develop your own voice, packed with purpose and lyricism. This volume allows you to put the foot down, but do so with ideas away from the usual triplets and pentatonic shapes.

By drawing on ideas from giants of yesteryear, you will uncover the adept art of chromatics, the use of jazz turnarounds and a collection of concepts that will help you write and jam better solos.

Vol 1 - Slow Blues

Slow it down in style. Take your foot off the pedal and say more on the fretboard with less by developing nuanced articulations and where and how to add extra flavour notes to the shapes you already know.

Targeting chord tones is central to Denny’s approach and you’ll learn to wield its power in this Masterclass. Through further examinations and interpretations of cascading lines, bends and vibrato, the keys to the slowed down soul wagon are at your disposal.

Open up to a new book of blues across a two part story where flavour is the game and expression is the aim. Denny Ilett opens the door to more original solos and you’re invited to enter.
