Learning to Lead: Blues & Rock

Learn Powerful Soloing Techniques for Blues and Rock Guitar
Cherrypicked from JamPlay, our sister TrueFire Studios’ company, Dave Isaacs’s top-ranked curriculum of video guitar lessons, Learning to Lead: Blues & Rock has been upgraded with all of TrueFire’s advanced learning tools for the optimal “anytime, anywhere, any device” learning experience. Now available for download and streaming!



Dave Isaacs’s Learning to Lead: Blues & Rock starts with a Beginner’s section, which is followed by sections for Late Beginners, Early Intermediate and then Intermediate players. Whatever level player you happen to be, plug into that section and take your soloing skills to the next level!

Dave demonstrates the essential techniques, vocabulary and creative tools you’ll need to craft tasty Blues and Rock solos and improvisations.

”I’ll show you a few key scales and fingering patterns, but great lead playing is not about blazing technique and playing lots of notes. It’s about phrasing, tone and feel. Even the greats play powerful, engaging solos with just a few notes — and you can too!

As you progress through the course, I’ll keep expanding your vocabulary, broaden your range of techniques and pass on dozens of creative soloing approaches. Work your way through the entire curriculum and you’ll have the chops and confidence to jump on any jam stage!”

Dave will guide you a progressive series of video lessons covering: Phrasing, Call and Response, Tension and Release, Practical Theory, Improvisation, Slides and Slurs, Building a Solo, Bending, and Soloing Over Changes, Major and Minor Pentatonic Scales, Arpeggios, Fretboard Patterns, Chord Tones, Melodic Sequences, Dorian and Mixolydian Modes

You’ll have all of TrueFire’s advanced learning tools at your finger tips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.

You can loop, slow down, or speed up any section of a lesson. Plus, all of the tab and notation is synced to the videos for the optimal learning experience. You’ll also get tab and standard notation files to print out, Guitar Pro files, and all of the backing tracks to practice with.

Grab your guitar, and let’s dig in with Dave Issacs!
