Brush With The Blues Guitar Lesson
Michael Casswell’s "Brush With The Blues" video lesson for Lick Library is a masterclass in capturing the soulful, expressive guitar style of Jeff Beck. This song is a showcase of Beck’s signature touch-based approach, blending blues phrasing, dynamic control, and expressive note choices to create a deeply emotive performance. In this tutorial, Casswell breaks down the key techniques that define Beck’s playing—fluid legato phrasing, wide bends, delicate vibrato, and volume swells—all of which are essential to nailing the feel of the piece. He provides step-by-step demonstrations, explaining the subtleties of touch, pick dynamics, and tone manipulation that make Beck’s playing so unique. More than just a note-for-note breakdown, this lesson helps players understand the art of phrasing and expression, teaching how to capture the emotion behind the notes rather than simply playing them. With clear instruction and practical insight, Casswell ensures that guitarists can internalize these techniques and bring their own personal feel to the song. Perfect for intermediate to advanced players, this tutorial is an essential study for anyone looking to improve their expressive soloing, blues feel, and Jeff Beck-inspired technique.
