About this course

Play Authentic Texas Blues Guitar is led by guitar guru Scott McKeon.

Inspired to play by his love of the blues, Scott is regarded as one of the UK's most talented and sought-after guitarists - both in and out of the studio. Throughout his career, he has played with musical legends such as Sir Tom Jones, Eric Clapton and Van Morrison.

Now, Scott is distilling his experience and passion for the original Texas Blues guitar heroes and channelling it into these online blues guitar lessons.

In this course, you'll learn to play blues guitar by starting at the early roots of R&B with an authentic Texas groove, before picking up the electric to master rhythm parts and soloing in the style of the greats.

You will learn:

Authentic rhythm and lead guitar parts (on both acoustic and electric guitar)
How to solo in the style of classic players like BB King, Lightnin' Hopkins and Stevie Ray Vaughan
5 of Scott's go-to guitar licks, inspired by his heroes
2 of Scott's own original tracks, Take Me Back and Fight No More

Throughout these online blues guitar lessons you'll find interactive tabs and notation that can be slowed down and looped, so you can fully immerse yourself in Scott's playing.

There are also downloadable backing tracks in a range of styles, plus specially produced versions of Scott's original tracks "Take Me Back" and "Fight No More", recorded at the legendary Real World Studios and re-engineered in backing-track format (without Scott's guitar part) so you can experience the thrill of playing with Scott's band in your own home.

Meet the Guru

Scott McKeon

Scott McKeon has given a lifetime of dedication to his craft as a guitarist. Initially inspired by his dad's love of blues, soul and rock music, he took up the guitar at the age of four and has developed a reputation as one of the UK's most in-demand guitarists, both in the studio and performing live.

In 2014, Scott got a call to play in Sir Tom Jones' band, alongside Robbie McIntosh and Pink Floyd drummer Gary Wallis. The blues, rock 'n' roll and gospel-orientated set allows Scott to call on his early influences and travel the globe. Performances so far have included five European tours, three tours of the US and South America, and tours of Australia and the Far East, as well as TV appearances including Later... with Jools Holland and TFI Friday, and playing New Orleans Jazz Festival in 2019.

Scott's third album, 'New Morning', is an earthy, raw, guitar-led record showcasing his range and ability as a guitarist. The album was recorded live in the studio at RAK in London, capturing the energy and spontaneity of the sessions. It was produced by Paul Stacey (Black Crowes/Oasis), and features Jeremy Stacey (Sheryl Crow/Tal Wilkenfeld) on drums, Rocco Palladino (Tom Misch/D'Angelo) on bass, and Gavin Conder (Rufus Black/The Kondoors) as vocalist on several tracks.

Scott also has a signature fuzz pedal and signature pickups, modelled on his '62 Strat.

In his course, Scott shares the tone, phrasing and feel behind authentic Texas blues guitar, showing you how to dig into the style and make every note sing.
