Sick of blocky blues chords? Today you're going to fix your blues comping to sound silky smooth with those stank-face-inducing blues colors we all know and love. It's not rocket science, it's voice-leading. Even if voice-leading is difficult for you, or you're not familiar with that term, this is the perfect place to get started. It all has to do with finding the root of the chord and moving all of the other voices chromatically. This lesson will take you step by step through the process, teach you the locations in the blues you can use these sounds, and where to find these chords all over the neck. I promise, your blues harmony will drastically change for the better after this lesson.
