How to Improvise Blues Riffs for Beginners
With this foundation, you can take the next step into creating your own riffs by applying variations to riffs that you already know. Applying variations will be yet another step closer to learning how to improvise Blues solos and riffs on guitar, because variations are the result of spontaneous and creative thinking - where new riffs are composed in the moment as opposed to playing riffs that are already known beforehand.

Improvising is often referred to as jamming, where blues riffs and solos are created spontaneously, usually with a backing rhythm. Thought jamming and improvising are essentially intended to be without too many boundaries, musicians usually agree on a key to harmonize with beforehand. Before applying variations, a guitarist needs to know how to play various blues riffs in any key.

Variations
Trying out variations over a backing rhythm is highly recommended. Though totally unplanned, some of the most famous guitar solos feature variations, where guitarists have created classic guitar riffs on the spot while improvising or jamming along to a backing rhythm. Many improvised riffs have become signature riffs, where a guitarist creates a riff that resonates enough that the riff is often repeated or referred to during a solo or on other songs as well.

Paluzzi Guitar
The objective of the Paluzzi Guitar video series is to help establish a foundation of guitar fundamentals by applying various playing techniques (rhythm, fingerstyle, and soloing) to various styles of music. The more playing styles and techniques a guitarist can learn, the more diverse and self-sufficient a guitarist will become. A self-sufficient guitarist can then teach themselves, communicate with other musicians, and even write their own music once a solid foundation of fundamentals is established.

The Creative Guitarist Method Series was written and designed by Kevin J. Paluzzi of Paluzzi Guitar Instruction in San Diego, CA. For more information on private lessons and books, go to:

There really isn’t any one particular playing style or technique required in order to classify someone as a guitarist. For example, Andres Segovia, The Beatles, and Carlos Santana are all considered legendary performing guitarists, but each has their own particular style or technique (fingerstyle, strumming, and soloing) for playing. Every guitarist will have their own personal preferences when it comes to what style of music they would initially like to learn. The Paluzzi Guitar series of books and videos are designed with a ‘pick and choose’ topic format (songwriting, soloing, etc.) so that once the Guitar Basics are completed, the guitarist can decide to focus on whatever topic they wish to study.
