Charles Wheal - jump blues and west coast swing demo

In this series the phenomenal young English guitarist Charles Wheal takes you on a journey to a time before Stevie Ray, Eric Clapton and even BB King made their mark on modern blues. Yes, Charles pays his bills (and his dues) playing the old blues commonly referred to as West Coast Swing or Jump Blues. This is the music made famous by legends like Louis Jordan, T-Bone Walker and Lowell Fulson. Charles gives you an in depth look at T-Bones approach and really sends you back to the woodshed with concepts on building single note lines from chords, understanding underlying chord structure, jazzing up your standard blues turnarounds, Charlie Christian ideas, how to play over rhythm changes, etc. But Charles also spends almost as much time talking about and teaching the blues of Southside Chicago. In those lessons, your teacher will guide you through the deceivingly tricky aspects of Chicago blues. Charles does an excellent job at presenting material in a new light that you might have once thought was easy. These lessons are not for the faint of heart. Charles talks fast and squeezes a ton of material into these action packed videos. Hold on to your hat and get ready to play the blues!
