SOUND FAMILIAR?
You Don't Need Another Blues Tutorial.
You probably already know a few things.
— A couple of open chords.
— Maybe the minor pentatonic.
— A handful of blues licks.
— More YouTube tutorials than you care to admit.
And yet… when you pick up the guitar and try to actually play the blues, you still find yourself going back to the same chords. The same strumming pattern. The same pentatonic box. The same two or three licks.
And when someone says “Okay… now improvise,” your brain suddenly goes completely blank.
I've seen this happen with guitarists again and again. And it's not because you're incapable of playing the blues — it's because you've been given pieces of the puzzle without being shown how the whole thing fits together.
That's what we're going to change.
THE PROGRAM
Introducing the 12-Week Blues Program
A complete, structured roadmap for learning to play the blues.
This isn't a giant library of random lessons. It's not 300 videos you'll never finish. And it isn't another theory-heavy guitar course where you spend months staring at diagrams.
It's a 12-week journey designed to help you understand the blues by playing it. We'll take you step-by-step through the essential building blocks of blues guitar, then show you how to connect them:
Every concept has a purpose. Every exercise is designed to build something. Because knowing about the blues isn't the goal — playing the blues is.
BEGINNER TO MASTER
From Beginner Basics to the Language of the Masters
Over 12 weeks, we'll take you through the blues in a way that actually makes sense. You'll start by building the foundations… then gradually add more vocabulary, more technique, more understanding and more musical freedom.
We'll explore the sounds and approaches of some of the greatest blues players ever — and how you can bring elements of those styles into your own playing. We'll study their musical language, phrasing, rhythm, use of space, chord choices, and approach to improvisation.
01
B.B. King
Raw, expressive phrasing.
02
Eric Clapton
An unmistakable sound.
03
John Mayer
A modern blues language.
Not by copying endless solos note-for-note, but by understanding the musical ideas behind them, so you can start developing your own voice.
That’s the difference.
HOW IT WORKS
This isn't about learning more.
It's about connecting what you learn.
You don't need another hundred things to remember. You need the things you learn to actually stick. That's why the program is built around repetition, application and muscle memory.
Knowledge becomes understanding.
Understanding becomes muscle memory.
Muscle memory becomes music.
WEEK BY WEEK
You won't just finish a lesson. You'll finish with something you can play.
Every week of the program culminates in a musical piece designed to bring that week's concepts together — something tangible, something musical, something that proves you're actually progressing. Week after week, those pieces become evidence of how far you've come.
Join the 12-Week Blues ProgramWHAT YOU'LL BUILD
The 5 Core Skills We'll Build
01
Timing
Great blues isn't just about playing the right notes — it's about when you play them. You'll develop stronger internal timing so your playing feels confident, controlled and musical.
02
Rhythm & Groove
The blues lives in the groove. We'll work on rhythms, feels and patterns that make your playing sound less like an exercise and more like music.
03
Chords
We'll move beyond basic open chords and explore the chord vocabulary that gives blues guitar its character — richer, more authentic sounds, and when to use them.
04
Licks & Blues Vocabulary
You'll learn classic blues language inspired by the masters — and how to use it, change it, and connect it, so it works inside actual music.
05
Improvisation
This is where everything comes together. Instead of staring at a pentatonic box wondering which note you're allowed to play, you'll start understanding how to create phrases, leave space, build tension, and resolve an idea — how to say something with your guitar.
YOU WON'T BE DOING IT ALONE
Weekly Private Coaching
This isn't a watch-the-videos-and-good-luck course.
We'll meet together every week for a dedicated coaching session where you can:
- Ask questions
- Get clarification on the week's material
- Work through things you're struggling with
- Get guidance from Tony
- Learn alongside other guitarists
- Stay accountable throughout the 12 weeks
THE PRIVATE BLUES COMMUNITY
Everything, In One Place
Because the program lives inside our private Skool community, you'll have one dedicated place for your lessons, coaching, discussions, challenges and progress. No hunting through old emails. No wondering where the next lesson is.
Inside, you'll get exclusive access to the Blues Program community — where the journey continues between coaching sessions.
You're not just joining a course. You're joining a group of guitarists on the same 12-week journey.

- You keep playing the same licks.
- You struggle with timing or rhythm.
- You've watched countless tutorials but still don't understand how it connects.

- You're not willing to pick up the guitar and play.
You're no longer just learning about the blues. You're playing it.
FROM FOREVER BEGINNER TO MAKING MUSIC
Real players. Real results.
Not "I learned a new lick." I finally understand what I'm doing.
Tony Founder, Guitar Made Easy
Tony has spent the last two decades helping guitarists break out of the same three licks and actually learn to play — not just recite scales. His teaching has reached millions of guitarists online, and he's built a reputation for making complex ideas feel simple, playable, and musical.
Now, through the 12-Week Blues Program, he's bringing that same step-by-step approach to blues guitar — live, in person, week by week.
“I don't want you to just know the blues. I want you to play it.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What You Might Be Wondering
Each week builds on the last — a new concept, practical exercises, and a musical piece that brings that week's learning together.
It is designed especially for guitarists who know basic chords and can play a little but feel stuck in beginner territory and don't know how to progress around the fretboard.
Each week, we'll jump on a live group coaching call with Tony, where you can ask questions, get feedback, work through challenges, and see how to apply what you're learning to your own playing.
It's not just Tony talking at you for an hour — you'll get coached, guided and supported along the way.
And if you can't make a call live, you'll get the replay so you never miss out.
Yes! That's the goal.
You'll learn how to break out of being stuck in one or two familiar positions and start connecting your blues ideas across the fretboard.
By the end of the 12 weeks, you won't just know more shapes — you'll have a much better understanding of where to go and what to play around the neck.
Yes. You'll begin using the concepts creatively so you can experience making musical choices rather than simply copying shapes or memorizing songs.
No. Tony teaches understanding through playing.
Yes! The entire 12-Week Blues Program is fully online. All the coaching calls are held via Zoom, and our community is hosted in Skool.
Beyond the 12-Week Blues Program, you’ll also get weekly challenges, weekly live coaching, and Tony's full premium course library (Fretboard Freedom, Acoustic Expression System, Play the Blues, and more) — for as long as you're an active member.
Yes — 100% free. No catch.
When you join, you'll get Tony's Play the Blues course added to your Kajabi account, with lifetime access.
It's designed to help you understand the essentials of blues guitar — from chords, scales and licks to phrasing, improvisation, rhythm and actually putting it all together musically.
So you're not just collecting more lessons. You're building a better understanding of how to actually play the blues.
And once it's yours, it stays yours for life.
$39/month.
No — cancel anytime, no long-term contract.
You keep the "Play the Blues" course permanently in Kajabi. Access to the live Skool community, coaching, and the rest of the course library ends when your membership does.
Stop guessing. Start playing the blues.
Twelve weeks from now, you could still be circling the same three licks — or you could be playing music that actually sounds like you. The only difference is starting today.
