If you want to emulate great Chicago blues artists like Buddy Guy and Otis Rush, today is your lucky day.

 

Arlen Roth knows the blues, and in today's exclusive lesson he examines the art of "walking" and "string jumping" bass lines—a style utilized by many of the great guitarists associated with the legendary Chicago blues scene.

 

Roth clearly demonstrates how learning these various patterns can greatly improve any guitarist's ability to play in near-perfect time and structure. He also shows how to use them to build your arsenal of licks, and add an abundance of ideas for great overall blues and R&B guitar playing.
