I could tell you some crap like “the journey to success begins with a single step,” but I’m not going to insult you.
The truth is learning how to play blues guitar takes persistence and effort.
I know – I’ve tried the lazy route, and it doesn’t work.
I’ve tried free lessons on YouTube. The best lessons give you some crumbs of learning, only enough to whet your appetite and nothing more. It’s to get you to buy the full course, I get that.
The problem is that you never know if the free guitar lesson is what you need.
Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of talented guitarists on YouTube. The problem is that not many are great teachers.
If you want to ignite your guitar playing, you need a great teacher. If you’re looking for online blues guitar lessons then you definitely want to check out TrueFire.

It doesn’t matter if you can only strum a few chords and play some single note lines or if you’re already using chord inversions or substitutions. The TrueFire Blues Guitar Learning Path has what you need to take your playing to where you want to be.
