Do you feel like you’re playing notes, but not truly expressing yourself?

Many guitarists learn scales, chords, and techniques, but still feel disconnected from the deeper expressive side of music. You may know what to play, but not how to make it feel alive, natural, and meaningful.

Blues is the foundation of modern electric guitar. More than a style, it is a language built on groove, phrasing, timing, and emotional expression.

In this workshop, our electric guitar teacher Diego will guide you through the essential elements that give blues its unique feel. You’ll explore how timing, space, and phrasing can transform simple notes into expressive musical statements.

This final pilot workshop, free of charge, offers a unique opportunity to experience Diego’s teaching approach and discover how blues can help you develop your groove, musical instinct, and personal voice on the instrument.

This workshop combines guided explanation, demonstration, and hands-on playing.

What we’ll work on

• Understanding the rhythmic foundation of blues guitar

• Developing groove and the concept of “layback” feel

• How phrasing creates expression and musical storytelling

• Playing with space, timing, and dynamics

• Listening and responding as a musician

• Essential blues patterns and expressive techniques

• Applying these concepts through guided playing and group interaction

The focus is not on complexity, but on developing feel, awareness, and musical confidence.

What you’ll walk away with

• A clearer understanding of blues guitar foundations

• Improved sense of rhythm, timing, and groove

• Greater confidence expressing yourself on the instrument

• New tools to make your playing more musical and expressive

• A deeper connection to your musical instinct

• Inspiration and direction for your continued development as a guitarist

These skills apply not only to blues, but to all styles of electric guitar.
