Jam Track Central - Blues Extensions - Alex Hutchings

Alex Hutchings returns to the JTC hot seat once again to deliver another flawless display of Blues soloing! In this 5 track series, Alex is jamming over some straight forward original Blues tracks, but with a twist! The concept of his soloing in these tracks is all about adding a deeper level of extension to the harmonies. Of course, the sheer amount of new licks here to learn is vast but overall Alex wanted to take some classic Blues licks and phrases and add a whole new level to them!

This is a true masterclass in Blues from a world renowned guitarist and musician. By studying, analysing and learning all of the licks and lines in these great tracks you will attain a whole new level of inspiration and creativity from Alex which will help you approach your own Blues soloing with a greater knowledge and understanding of improvisation and melodic sophistication!

The backings for this package were written by one of JTC's backing track gurus James Graydon and contain the perfect blend classic blues, shuffle tracks, up-tempo blues and a sexy bluesy ballad - what's not to love!

Check out the promo video and prepare yourself for an Alex Hutchings masterclass in blues!

For those that are wondering (and because we get asked a lot) Alex tunes his guitar in straight fourths. This allows for more symmetry in the chord/scale shapes and lends itself better to visualising your way around the neck when improvising and composing. Because of this, Alex's strings are tuned to EADGCF but don't fret (pun intended), we have also included the solos/lines transposed into standard EADGBE tuning as well.

As ever, we have accurately transcribed every note and included the TAB/notation in the download, full backing tracks, audio solos and track notes.
