Here's how Blues Rock Road Trip is presented …

Ten blues-rock instrumentals are broken up into a rhythm lesson and a solo lesson, each demonstrated in context against a drum and bass backing track.

The video rhythm lessons demonstrate the parts as written and then expands the parts to illustrate alternate voicings and fills to stretch the rhythm part out with.

The video solo lessons first demonstrate the solos as written, then breaks them down note-by-note, as well as demonstrating extra licks and variations.

Each pair of lessons (rhythm and solo) feature a jam backing track for students to practice over to help nail the parts being covered and expand on as well.

A text description provides an overview of the tune along with some background on artists and geography synonymous with that blues-rock for reference purposes.

Power Tab is included (interactive tablature for PC users), so you can see, hear and slow down the tablature and notation.

Take a 1-4-5, crank up the drive, blow long improvised solos and you've got a few of the necessary ingredients to start working on your blues-rock bag. But that's just the beginning - everything else you need can be found in Deloro's original Blues Rock Road Trip and now in Blues Rock Road Trip 2, Deloro's newly updated, eye-opening, ear-bending intensive study program focused solely on lead guitar phrase construction and applications.

At the core of virtually every killer blues rock tune is solid and memorable phrasing. Not to be confused with solos or melodies, short phrases or "riffs" can serve as the driving rhythmic figures of a tune, or be combined as the thematic building blocks of its featured solo. In either case, phrasing is as critical to the composition or solo as the "hook" itself. Could you imagine Suzie Q, Bad Sign, La Grange, One Way Out, Superstitious, Elizabeth Reed, Whole Lotta Love or Abracadabra without their signature riffs?!
