" I don’t think anyone should have to pay a lot of money to get the best acoustic blues guitar lessons – these video lessons encapsulate everything I’ve learned over the past 40 years, and everything you need learn to play old style blues guitar – Guaranteed."

… they are better than any of the YouTube acoustic blues lessons that are teasers for professional videos that I’ve seen (and this includes some of the major finger style publications).



I find that your method, thoroughness, quality, and personable style not to mention the sheer bulk of songs make your package incredible value.

"Each lesson starts with Jim playing the whole song, at full speed. This is good to watch, although it can seem a little daunting, when you realize you’ll be learning to play the same tune!

Then the lesson itself begins, as Jim breaks the song right down into small, manageable sections that you can work on in a practice session. He also slows it right down, making it much easier to follow along.

In the relevant sections of the video, the guitar tab or chord/ charts are shown in the lower part of the screen, making it easy to follow.

One thing that can seem difficult when you’re learning to play acoustic blues guitar, is coordinating the picking action from your right hand, with changing chords and fretting notes with the left. In each of the lesson videos, Jim shows close ups of both the right hand picking technique and the left hand chord positions, so you can see more easily what’s happening.

I’ve been an acoustic blues hound for well over 40 years…take it from me: Jim Bruce’s studies of the old masters have been so diligent and his transcriptions, with all their nuances, are so accurately rendered that the man should be awarded a PHD in Musicology! …plus, he’s just such a down to earth, nice guy. To quote the man: "Keep it real"…..What a resource!! Thanks Jim

I’ve done loads of guitar tutorials in my time, and Jim’s recording method and instruction is by far the best I’ve seen!

The format Jim Bruce uses is like sitting in your living room and having a good friend show you lick by lick how to play a song. This is how I learned to play many years ago, as I expect many of you did, too. The tabs are simple and accurate, and he combines them with close ups of the left and right hands so there is no guessing. And the songs are cl ics, a very nice study of fingerstyle blues. Thanks, Jim.

We are so lucky to have the guidence from Jim to learn this old style of music. He gives us the foundation needed to play ragtime. I am thankful for his blind blake lesson collection, he teaches complete complicated songs from start to finish and breaks it down making learning easier. Go Jim! Highly recommended!
