  • Hi GMC'ers! In this lesson we will work on a slow ambient blues groove. The purpose of this lesson is to learn some cool blues riffs and to understand how to create a specific vibe with delay effect.

    This blues groove has an ambient feel to it because of the delay effect added, and is a good guitar music background suitable for atmospheric instrumentals in movies, series, and songs too. The main video has no drums, only a quiet hihat added, but feel free to practice it with tom groove on the backing tracks.

    Techniques:
    * Bending
    * Slides
    * Vibrato

    Tuning:
    * E standard

    Scales:

    Gear/ Sound:

    If you have any questions:
    * Give feedback (upper-right-corner)
    * My Personal Board
