Blues Guitar Basics: Blues Scales, Licks & Soloing for Lead

The Guitar player you always wanted to be starts here

A Complete Interactive Lead Guitar Course

Learn how to solo, improvise, and understand lead guitar with visual aids and without confusion.

The blues is the foundation of modern lead guitar — and learning how to play blues guitar properly will transform your phrasing, feel, and confidence as a soloist.

In this Starting Lead Guitar - The Blues Guitar Basics course , you’ll learn how to use the blues scale effectively, connect shapes across the fretboard, and create expressive, musical blues solos using classic lead guitar techniques.

This course is designed as a clear, structured introduction to blues lead guitar, building directly on basic pentatonic knowledge. You’ll explore blues scale shapes, box patterns, string group ideas, double stops, bends, rakes, and simple licks you can use immediately in your playing.

I’ll guide you step by step using:

• Visual fretboard diagrams

• Play-along demonstrations

• Real musical examples

• Practical soloing concepts (not just theory)

By the end of this course, you’ll understand how blues solos actually work, why certain notes sound “bluesy,” and how to confidently improvise over blues progressions.

This course is part 3 of the Todd Robinson Starting Lead Guitar series and prepares you for more advanced lead guitar concepts taught in the Full Starting Lead Guitar Course 2 like arpeggios, advanced licks and his trademark unit "Unlocking the major modes".
