Blues7 started the topic Suggestion for listening to blues artists who use more harmony (chords) in the forum Questions & Advice

• 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Hi, how are you folks?
I would like you to recommend blues artists that use more harmony (chords) in their songs, albums, songs, etc… I love blues and would like to be able to hear examples that go beyond my beloved three chords and variations.

thanks ! !

  Hey Blues7, great subject and I imagine an extensive list will be forthcoming. I come from a background on the guitar playing fingerstyle blues so I’ll put forward Rev Gary Davis as a great source to listen to. His pianistic approach to playing uses a lot of chords and extensions mapping the whole fretboard and whilst his repertoire covered not o…Read More

  You might like Bobby Blue Bland, T Bone Walker, Wayne Bennett, Bill Jennings, Billy Butler, and piano players like Ray Charles, Charles Brown, Johnny Moore and his three blazers, Mose Alison, James Booker , Ray Bryant, Percy Mayfield, just to name a few

Secondly, thank you for all of the lesson requests, we are taking note of all of them. We have a huge…Read More

  Hey first sorry I missed the meet and greet. I enjoyed my first pass at the Sunny Side lesson a lot. I’m actually a self taught fingerstyle blues barrell house and somewhat jazzy piano player trying to enhance my fingerstyle guitar playing. I know that sounds funny but I ve got alot of influence from fingerstyle guitarists for some of my piano…Read More

  Hi Admin, I think I might be missing the obvious here, but I can’t locate the soundslice tutorial. When I select “Dashboard” the original promo page comes up inviting people to sign up. I then have to select “login” to return to the community, and once back in, I am informed that I have already logged in. Any guidance you can give me would be…Read More

    Hi Marion,
    It looks like your browser might need to have its history cleared, it could be saving an old version of the website.
    
    If you go here:
    
    Member Dashboard
    
    you should be able to see all the dashboard content, and your browser should update soon to reflect the current site.
    
    Hope that helps,
    
    Luke

      Thanks so much Luke! I can now view the Dashboard and have just watched the Soundslice tutorial, which was very useful. Cheers

Just wanted to give a quick update on the Playalong module for Sunny Side. It now includes a transcribed improvisation with a breakdown by Tim after the solo ends.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re having a good weekend. I just wanted to pop in to say that this has been a very busy week and there have been around 10 new modules added in the last seven days. Huge thanks to TIm and Jeff for creating all this content.

A few of the key ones are the Sunny Side of The Street lessons; including deep-dive, solo…Read More

  I certainly appreciate all of your work. I’ve studied with Tim and his various on-line iterations for a long time. If he is still writing his “Grid Sheets” for the various tunes he will be presenting here, I would really be a happy camper if they could be posted also. I assume there are many, like me, who a visual learners.
