Probably The Most Valuable FREE Blues Guitar Lesson You’ll Ever Take - With TAB!
Here’s a 100% FREE, in depth blues guitar lesson with on-screen tab, taught by Bobby Harrison. In this tutorial, we will learn 15 essential blues licks in the context of a 12 bar blues solo over a shuffle groove in the good old-fashioned key of A.
Our solo spans two choruses (twice around the 12 bar progression) and features many classic blues licks and phrases in the styles of B.B. King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King and Albert Collins.
These 15 licks feature classic blues tonality, along with chord tones that really highlight the changes. These are all extremely usable ideas that you can incorporate into your own playing. Each lick breakdown features on-screen tab
In addition to learning the solo, we’re also going to cover a very cool rhythm guitar part that you can try out next time you find yourself at a blues jam. Enjoy!
The lick and solo tutorial starts at 10:15.

For a full range of blues guitar lessons, featuring HD video tutorials, downloadable, high quality backing tracks, tab, standard notation and fretboard diagrams, check out our website at www.absolutebluesguitar.com
This short, free tutorial merely scratches the surface of blues guitar and is not part of our website, since it was made to promote the course after launch. However, full tab and backing track for this lesson are available to full members on request. Our website offers a HUGE, in-depth guitar course featuring hours of tuition material designed to have you improvising blues authentically.
I use Hawk Picks and Elixir Nanoweb 10-52 strings.
I am left-handed, but the video has been horizontally flipped in order to make it easier for most “normal” players to follow.
If you're ever in town to see me and my band you will find me playing this exact solo. I will of course use it in a different key and do my damnedest to make it look spontaneous.
That's great! Glad you got a lot from the lesson!
Agree. Definitely a solo worth copying. Chock full of classic blues elements. My fave is the run-on descending lick in bars 7&8 of the second chorus.
At least you admit it👍🏼
It'll change over time & get your flavor on it. But definitely 24 good bars
Which town?
There are simply not enough comments on UA-cam praising Bobby for his exceptional and indispensable online blues guitar course. This video does a great job of showing that he teaches not just technique and execution, but really gets across the soulfulness of a really wonderful blues solo while showing how to express that “feeling.” I can’t recommend highly enough. I have no affiliation other than that I’m taking the course and am loving it!
RuggedYuppie - Once again, thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot to me! Cheers!
After watching probably a 1000 videos on here I have to say this 1 is by far the best. Great player and teacher very easy to understand and he doesn't leave you hanging wondering what the hell comes next. I'm now finally learning something worthwhile thank you so much.
I am so happy I stumbled on to this lesson. "When the student is ready the teacher shall appear". Bobby is obviously a very talented guitar player, but that alone does not make a good teacher. His ability to explain what he's doing and why is outstanding, which is so important for any type of online lessons. The pace of his lessons for me is also just right, in that Goldilocks zone. Awesome! I've signed up. Do it people!
hey ! it's really great to get a blues guitar lesson from somebody who actually plays it right and knows what he's talkin about
Thank you very much.
I think there is enough meat here to chew on for along time! It's my belief that mastering this video you have built a SOLID platform to to become a blues man! Das 😎 all! Das 😎 cool! 👍❤️
I decided to pay for full membership. Glad I did. Bobby is an excellent teacher. The subject is blues and only blues. Bobby introduces all the little nuances that turn a simple I, IV, V and pentatonics into a full fledged master class for beginners to expert. This is the real deal. Well worth it!!
Hi Eric. Thank you very much for the kind words. It really means a lot. I hope you get a lot out of the course. All the best, Bobby
How much is the course?
I think i just found the best blues teacher thank you
Thank you very much!
Why did UA-cam take so long to recommend this channel to me?! This channel should be home base for anyone wanting to dive into what blues guitar is all about...
Thank you very much!
about time someone is making sense , this guy is magic , thanks so much
Superb. Lick 12 took me straight to reenlistment blues in 'from here to eternity', played by Merle Travis
I've been working on this for a couple of days and making good progress. Bobby is good to work with as he comes across as a genuinely nice cat who knows he's a badass, but he's happy to share his knowledge in a laid back way.
Thank you very much!
Not sure how anyone can give this a thumbs down. Awesome lesson, awesome playing. Having you play the solo with the track and then break down each lick is a great format and makes it a lot easier to get the phrasing correct. Your an awesome musician and teacher!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much, Todd!
don't waste time thinking about the downers bro.
Thank you, Bobby. This is the best lesson I’ve ever seen. I’ve progressed out of sight in 12 hours practicing this lesson and my confidence has finally arrived. I’ll be joining your site. Amazing teacher.
Thank you very much!
I've only been playing for a few months, and this is one if not the best teaching video I have come across. Never really listened to a lot of blues, but then I found myself absolutely enjoying the style after following a few beginners to intermediate blues guitar lessons on UA-cam.
What an excellent lesson! I've been playing 40+ and now I'm suddenly getting twice as good. I'll never get outta these blues alive. Many thanks!
Thank you very much.
This is a GREAT intro to playing a 12 bar Blues solo! The V (or Five) chord licks are especially good and it all sounds so slick and impressive with lick No.8 being so well constructed starting on an E note and resolving to an E note! 15 quid a month for your Blues course is a steal. Folks, Bobby knows his stuff!
Thank you very much!
As I have seen you many times with your Floyd appearances and been amazed at your solo skills, I can only thank you for these lessons, which give us mere amateurs a chance of at least enjoying some kind of guitar experience, thank you again Bobby.
Thank you very much.
Blows me away that this channel only had 4.9k subscribers when this guy plays better( and teaches) than 99% of all other instructors in UA-cam land! Amazing!
Thank you very much, Dalton. Much appreciated!
i don't clearly understand blues sounds...until i hear this and i began to like them....appreciate it so much
Great lesson with well played examples and really well thought out too as it covers a good range of the neck which really helps build up the frame work for improvising. Soloing in major keys has been difficult for me but this has just expanded my vocabulary nicely & illustrates how to use more than one scale as well as blues basic principles. .
Changed My Life !! :D
Thank you very much!
yes this is a good example of mixing it up a bit major minor starts meshing together after you get some experience with it and possibilities are pretty much endless.
amazing a true blue blues teacher finally found my peace of mind
Thank you very much.
God bless this man
Love your blues riffs
Best video for understanding playing chord tones over the 1, 4 and 5 chords
Thank you very much!
Great example of using cord tones of underlaying chords and frazing.. happy i found this before sleep.thanks..
Thank you very much!
I'm an old player who has been trying to learn some new theory to improve my playing, particularly blues. I've picked up lots of odds and ends, but you, my friend, just put it all together for me. You were exactly the right teacher for where I am and I am extremely grateful. - Jstn
Thank you very much!
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY 👍🎸👏
Bobby, after seeing you in Brit Floyd (in person) absolutely blow everyones mind with your unbelievable playing, it seems weird to have you come down to the level of a beginner like me and teach basic blues. Kinda like Chopin teaching a five year old how to play "Chopsticks" on the piano! Great stuff, man. Wonderful teacher! Many thanks!
Thank you very much.
thank you for the time in making this fine lesson.
the chords are getting easier now after a few times through.
this lesson was a "next step" for me, and it's perfect.
Congratulations ... if your hands and belly feel your guitar as natural as your head and feet .. and you follow his words and playing equally in harmony . you are firmly on the road to a lot of magic and pleasure :)
Great lesson! Thanks!
Spectacular! Congratulations!
Excellent lesson. You have a very calm and clear way of describing what you are playing and why. I have been moving around the A minor pentatonic scale in all five positions for a while but wandering between them without any sense of purpose. I am 69 years of age and intend to learn this solo before I die. Thank you so much, I really have learnt a lot by watching this video.
Thank you so much for the kind words.
THANK YOU MAN !
One of the best blues lesson I’ve ever seen 👏👏👏
Thank you very much.
This was great! I can study this for years to come. Thanks.
Thank you very much.
Maravillosa tu manera de tocar hermano!!!!. Un abrazo desde Argentina.
NICE!!!
Thank You!
I really like the way he breaks it down so you can eat it
Not everyone that can play guitar well can teach guitar well, but this dude is a good teacher!!
Thank you very much.
What great lesson. So many great usable ideas for me in this lesson.
I know I'm super late commenting on this but it has propelled me light years ahead of where I was. Cannot thank you enough for the fun and freedom you've given me to keep jamming!
Thank you very much. There are a many more free lessons on our website. No signup necessary. www.absolutebluesguitar.com
Is bad that I'm feelin the blues? Like I feel it man. I just wish I could play it.
Absolutely spot on when you say that the blues is easy to play but hard to feel. I have to say you put this lesson over brilliantly
Thank you very much!
I was the opposite. I could feel it, but not play it. Every little step is foreword tho. Patience
Thanks, that's a real Blues lesson...I'm a beginner and these licks will help me a lot!
Here in Brazil, we also love Blues!
You convinced me sir, trying to play some blues since few months, I would like to improve my play style and I think you're the right person for that,. Also I'm not native English speaker, but your pronouciation is perfect for me. So After looking at many videos on UA-cam, I finally made my decision. I will soon join your course.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for such a quality lesson. The licks chosen are varied and awesome and the video production with TABs is also top notch! You are a fantastic teacher too and the pace is very good. You got a big fan in Texas. I’m seriously considering signing up for your course based on this one video. Thank you again!
Thank you very much.
Where have you been all my fretting life???!! This one lesson is phenomenal and allows me to diversify and place punctuation marks on similar licks I've known but this guy really puts class and emphasis with great explanations behind them all!! I want to enroll or sign up as this is exactly what the Blues doctor ordered for me and my current intermediate level!! Jim C.
Thank you very much, Jim!
This is just an excellent lesson...great job!
Absolutely brilliant lesson. Some sites give lots of licks to practice but to have these as all part of one blues solo is fantastic. For an average guitarist like me, these were not too difficult to play and internalise.
Thank you very much, Kenneth.
excellent. subscribed. i just went through the first five. i'll tackle the next ten in two more five lick segments. then i'll work in perfecting them. thank you great lesson.
Thank you very much!
Brilliant playing fantastic teaching method.
Thank you very much!
I subscribed to your page before this lesson was finished playing. So well thought out and laid out. From demonstrating the rhythm and lead, to showing the licks in real time along with the demonstration. Plus the tab while teaching the lick and explaining where you are in the progression is a huge positive. One, if not the best single lesson I've ever seen. Kudos, well done.
Thank you very much, Chris.
I really enjoy your tutorials - and I love the way you play. Such great feel and tone. Very inspiring.
Thank you very much!
I made it to the end of the lesson. Now only to connect the licks. Thank You!!!
I love it! Great to learn licks in context.
Perfect lesson that explains how and why the major and minor pentatonic scales come together. Absolutely essential to know this to progress beyond the guitarists 'brick wall' we end up hitting! Cheers man
Thank you very much.
There are a lots of gold nuggets in this lesson for all level thank you Bobby !
Thank you very much!
Probably The Most Valuable FREE Blues Guitar Lesson You’ll Ever Take - took the words out of my mouth Bobby. You are a legend mate. Everything makes perfect sense and at exactly the level of competence that I need. I've been pissing around and gleaning bits and bobs for years - You've just opened a million doors for me. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you very much, Stephen!
This is great. I got so much from this. Thanks so much dude. ✌️
Great content. Licks at 14:27
Really creative and fantastic lesson
I agree with all the positive reviews. This is probably the best blues lesson i’ve ever seen. Has it all. Thanks heaps Bobby. You’re a legend.
Thank you very much for your kind words, James!
Great lesson. It's so rewarding when I run across gems like this.
Thank you very much!
Wow... what a great lesson! Thank you. You nail so many of the classic sounds of blues guitar in that one solo.
Thank you very much.
Great lesson. Amazing playing nice one
This video is epic. You can learn these and add your own and it's sweet! Great vid man.
Thank you very much.
This is a brilliant lesson and helped me so much!! Thank you!
Hey Bobby, you're a great player and great instructor! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. The solo is great!
Thank you very much.
Sounds so great and far from impossible , gotta to learn it ! Love it !
Lick number 6 is not easy get phrased right. Game on!

-Marty Schwartz
Bobby blows the rest away, doesn't he?
Wow, glad I stumbled across this-great explanation and demonstration and perfect pacing. Thanks!
Simply brilliant lesson
i could listen to you play all day Bobby! But i gotta pracice too! Thank you so much for all your GREAT lessons! i learned 'shine on you crazy diamond' and 'time' and 'money' PF songs from you, and so many blues licks and techniques from you! thank you! you are a great teacher
Thank you very much, Anthony.
Love Blues/Rock & have been playing for over 4 decades & got my subscription just because it’s to the point but also doesn’t try to sell a membership to something every 10 mins or donations plus for new players he breaks it down for quick understanding until you are able to learn but gets you playing with practice of course.. also it helps if you are a good teacher and Bobby nails it & with some fun. Keep rocking and look forward to checking out your videos now and future one🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
Splendid lesson. Thanks !
Thank you very much.
Thanks very much for posting this!
As an intermediate player, for years I've known the scales and basic theory but have in the last few months made a real effort of understanding how it all fits together (M/m/7 arpeggios over 1/4/5) so that I can enjoy jam tracks, rather than just learning to play songs I like from lessons and tab.
Licks 12 and 13 together are so sweet to my ears, I'm going to wear them out lol. Struggled with the timing of licks 5 and 11 for a few days even though they're not that hard too play individually but loving playing along to this, will go over to Absolute Blues!
Thank you very much.
Excellent!!!
Brilliant. I am on a mission to learn this solo!
Thank you very much!
Don’t give up. Very satisfying to play indeed!
All the best (and world famous guitarists) are Blues masters - something about Blues influenced hard rock lead guitar still excites and entertains people - Angus Young, Slash, Jimi Hendrix - these guys are all Bluesy players!
Flipping the leftie: interesting concept ! 👍🏻That is why I couldn't read the headstock's logo ! 😄 Cheers mate
Yes, thank you for the consideration dear Bobby! ;-D
Hah, I'd forgotten about that! Very considerate of Bobby.
Incredible playing! Just signed up to your Absolute Blues course and really excited for what lays ahead. Everything is provided on the course, except, of course, the practicing! I'm really inspired to start my guitar journey at 56. Thanks Bobby!!
Thank you very much!
Thank you this is the best lesson happy music
Great blues lick and excellent lesson .... I'm practicing and optimistic now. Lovin it!
Thank you very much.
Brilliant - thank you!
merci pour cette superbe leçon.
You are too generous! This is lick gold! Just give me a couple of years to fumble my way through it and I'll be straight back for more.
Seriously, brilliant 👏 👌 👍
Thank you very much!
THAANK YOU...This is my key to a good blues solo..
You did me a great favor...
Thank you very much!
Muchas gracias!!! Excelente lección 👍
Thank you very much.
Hi, I've been a member for 4 months now and love it. Don't know if its possible but would be nice if you can had the solos with the backing track section or a place year its more than 12 bars. it would be nice to have the solos played a few times in a row.
Muito bom!..Parabéns!..
Nice one mate!Thank You!
Dude, this lesson is saving my life! I have actually learned every lick and now I am working on stringing them all together! For the first time I will be able to play a whole fucking song!
That's great, Steve. I'm glad the lesson has helped!
@@absolutebluesguitarlessons2722 It is really strange. At first it seems like too much and overwhelming and after working on it for an hour each evening, I can do the whole solo! This is awesome!
Haha, man, I totally feel your stoke! Well done. Same boat!
Thank you, amazing video
This is brilliant
I am sooooo using these.
Thank you for this brilliant lesson - detailed, complete, and pleasant.
Thank you very much!
Great lesson taught at just the right pace.
One of the best i've watched on UA-cam.
Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Great licks! Very helpful.
