Once you have mastered any section one of the best things you can do is to start using it, experiment and make variations, try things for yourself, use what you learn and let it all become second nature to you
For example if you are new to the D7 Movable chord start practising it up and down the neck of the guitar
Any chord shape you have problems with keep working on them until you can play them in your sleep, especially bar chords if you are new to them
With any chord progression once mastered, experiment with different timings, speed and rhythms, the aim is to always be able to feel what you are playing and to be able to play what you feel
When using a backing track to practise your lead playing and scales, once you have mastered the basics, take it further and experiment more with the notes of the scales
Keep checking back for new stuff added
Cheating the Blues is an on-
The aim is to enable beginners with a quick and easy access to start playing and having fun with the Blues
(It is assumed that you can already play a few chords and are not a total beginner, BUT
If you are a total beginner to guitar I suggest you use the Beginners Guitar Link shown here and start there.
Learn, experiment and master each section well before moving on
A little bit of knowledge, practicing the right things and a lot of feel can go a long way
It’s not how much you know but how well you play/use the little that you do know
You will find Diagrams, Videos, Tabs, Picture and Audio plus there are links here to a lot of the other Different Modules I have created to help you along the way
Do not rush any section, take your time perfect each section and Module before moving on and you will find you will succeed
About the Title Cheating the Blues

“A little bit of knowledge, practicing the right things and a lot of feel can go a long way
It’s not how much you know but how well you play/use the little that you do know”
