Blues Jam Revolution

Open up a whole new way of approaching the blues with John F. Klaver’s Blues Jam Revolution. With ideas on fretboard navigation for the intermediate players, to interesting and creative outside licks that will inspire even the greatest blues master. This is an opportunity to tap into the mind of a player with a wholly different approach to many of his peers.

The versatile feel of this release is guided by three highly jammable backings. A dark yet funky backing, a laid back Latin track and an upbeat swing number act as backdrops for John to improvise over. Focussing on target notes, he shows you how to navigate the sometimes awkward world of chord changes and offers up a whole heap of techniques in the process.

Fusing his signature brand of outside playing with trills, slides, sustained bends, double stops and percussive plucking, John shows you some key blues soloing techniques, and how to use them effectively in context. Across 30 licks, filled with ideas that you can add to your own solos, you’ll get another look at what’s going on. You’ll see how to shift positions smoothly, make the most of ascending/descending sequences and learn when to take your foot off the pedal to add expression, soul and space into your phrases.

This release includes audio and video for three full-length solos and 30 licks. Comes with three full and lick length jam-friendly backings, PDF Study Guide and full tab/notation.

Break out of the usual boxes and add a jazzy edge to your solos to become a more rounded player, as John F. Klaver shows you how to revolutionise the blues.
