Use this JAZZ CONCEPT in Your BLUES GUITAR!

In this lesson, I'll show you how to get to the IV chord of a blues progression using altered chords, the altered scale, and ii-V-Is. This concept is frequently used by jazz-influenced blues guitarists like Robben Ford, Josh Smith, Matt Schofield, and Chris Cain.
