Yesterday, we published nine brand new online guitar lessons to Jared James Nichols’ blues rock guitar course at ArtistWorks.

These lessons cover several critical new concepts and are designed specifically for intermediate players. Jared outlines fresh blues rock soloing techniques, and details licks and improvisation methods focused on major, minor, and pentatonic CAGED fingerboard patterns. 

While these lessons outline licks and approaches to soloing in E major and minor key centers specifically, the beauty of the CAGED system is that transposition to other keys becomes easy and fluid. Working through these lessons will not only teach you new major, minor, and pentatonic licks in the key of E, but they will also improve your vocabulary and abilities as a blues rock soloist.

Alongside Jared’s video instruction, these new lessons include fresh learning materials to supplement Jared’s teaching—including tablature, notation, play-along backing tracks, and more. In fact, the performance lessons all feature backing tracks and guitar isolations and offer three different camera angles.

“One of the best things about the CAGED system is the fact that there are no holes across the neck once you learn it,” Jared explains. “In these lessons, we’re going to go over E major, E minor, and E blues scale licks. We’ll learn these licks in every CAGED position, and I want to challenge you to expand on them and make them your own.”
