Reviews & Ratings
Very good class! Paul really goes over ALOT of material but keeps it really focused on the blues. If you have your basic jazz blues chops together this class will give you a lot of new ideas both harmonicly and melodically. And Paul keeps it all light and fun.
Excellent introduction to jazz blues and Paul Bollenback explains all very clearly. First, covers chord progressions, chord subs, a little walking bass and harmonized walking. Also, clear explanations of the various scales, modes, and chord-scale relationships that can be used. Needless to say, Paul's soloing is inspiring, funky and melodic. I loved it!
