Post Description

Thousands of blues tunes draw on the core foundation of grooves and rhythm patterns spawned during the electric blues renaissance of the 50s and 60s. Unlike other genres of music from that time, there’s nothing nostalgic about these grooves — these same grooves and rhythm patterns have been used by every generation of blues player since right up to modern times. “Authentic” is the best way to describe them and Jeff McErlain’s 30 Authentic Blues Grooves You MUST Know is the best way to learn them.

For inspiration, Jeff dug deep into the music of Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon, Slim Harpo, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, CharlieMusslewhite, Sonny Boy Williamson, Jimmy Reed, Freddie King, John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and many other blues giants.

Jeff kicks things off with some blues authenticity inspired from Elmore James’ classic Done Somebody Wrong, Junior Wells’ tricky repeat pattern from Messing with the Kid, Howlin' Wolf's Smokestack Lightning (one of the most influential blues grooves ever!), the seminal swamp blues groove from I'm A King Bee and Sonny Boy’s Help Me with a tasty and nasty Charlie Musslewhite feel. These first five grooves will feed your blues bag for a lifetime but there’s much more to come...
