Jack Ruch's Melodic Blues Soloing
A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Your Voice and Mastering the Fretboard
This is it... This is the next step in your blues journey
Iβm so excited to have Jack Ruch back for his latest course: Melodic Blue Soloing: A Step-by-Step Guide to Defining Your Voice and Mastering the Fretboard.
Jack is an absolute monster player who has gone on the deep dive into the world of melodic blues phrasing. He grew up on the greats, OG blues likeβB.B. King, Buddy Guy, Otis Rushβbut then had a moment that changed everything for him as a player.Β Something which lead into years of studying the harmonically rich sound of players like Ray Charles and Oscar Peterson. Players that were steeped in the sophisticated harmony of jazz, gospel, and R&B.
This years of study has allowed him to crack the code on how to blend these two worlds.
And in this course, heβs laying out the exact step-by-step concepts that took him from being a "blues box" player to a true melodic improviser.
Stop Noodling. Start Making Music.
This isn't just another "learn a lick" course. This is a complete system for next level blues phrasing. Itβs designed to build upon what you already know and provide a clear path to the next level.
This course is loaded with "aha moments"!!!
Here is just some of what you are going to learn:
- The "Vocal" Approach: Learn to stop playing like a "guitar player" and start phrasing like a great singer. This section on feel, dynamics, and nuance is a game-changer for connecting with your own emotion.
- Beyond the Box: Start with the simple, familiar blues and use it as a launchpad. Jack will show you how to weave in sophisticated harmonic concepts from Gospel, R&B, and Jazz... without sounding like you're just playing scales.
- Targeting Chord Tones (The Right Way): This is the key to outlining changes. Youβll learn to use your scale and arpeggio shapes as a "blueprint" to always land on the right notes at the right time. Your solos will instantly sound more musical.
- Melodic Phrasing: Move beyond "licks" and learn to tie your ideas together into musical phrases. You'll learn to play simple, powerful melodies that perfectly match the changes.
- "Outside" Notes & Substitutions: Ready for the advanced stuff? Jack gives you a gateway into more sophisticated harmony, showing you how to use advanced chord substitutions and scales to create that killer "jazz-inspired" blues sound.
- Application is Everything: You won't just learn theory. You'll play. Jack has brought in pro musicians for a variety of killer backing tracks in different styles, and heβll walk you through how to apply every single concept in a real-world musical situation.
This is the stuff that shaves years off your learning. This is the course that finally gets you out of that intermediate rut.
Here's What You Get:
- Over 7 Hours of In-Depth Video Lessons: Jack holds nothing back. Every concept is broken down in easy-to-understand lessons.
- Pro Backing Tracks: Jam with a world-class band over multiple styles (Blues, R&B, Gospel-inspired, and more).
- Complete TABS: Get TABS, chord diagrams, and scale diagrams for everything in the course. No guesswork.
Ready to Find Your Voice?
This is the exact framework that helped Jack Ruch find his own voice on the guitar.
Itβs time to stop searching for random licks and get a complete, step-by-step roadmap from a true master. This is your chance to finally open up your ears, master the fretboard, and take your soloing to a level you never thought possible.Β
Jack is one of my all time personal favorite guitarists. Whether itβs playing live or teaching in the studio he is a true master of his craft. He knocked it out of the park with this one. This is some of the best melodic blues phrasing you will see in a blues course, perfectly explained in a simple and easy to understand method.
