Hi Arthur, Is the order of your list of courses on your site the optimal order to do them, or do you advice me an other order? I have no experience in playing boogie.
Great Question! Yes, I have been meaning to make several "suggested" coursework outlines... And I WILL get to it eventually. If you are totally new, do the "Basics" class first. Then learn "Lick #1" (only Part I). When you get that then move on to "Lick #2" (only Part I). Then go to the "Turnarounds" section and learn a turnaround. Begin playing Licks 1 and 2 in a 12 bar blues connected by a turnaround. Then learn Part I of all 8 licks. Then I think you can try learning some songs, or parts of songs you like, by ear. You may also want to do 1 or 2 private lessons with me at this point so that I can check your progress and make sure you're on track.
Then start learning Part II for all the licks.
Hope this helps you get started! I think spending about 1 week on each lick is normal... if you can get them under your fingers faster then that's fine too. Good luck!
