Stop Fighting Your Thumb. Start Playing Delta Blues That Sounds Like Music.

Delta Blues Training is a great fit if you:

• Love the raw Delta sound and want a step-by-step path (not random riffs)

• Can play basic open-position chords and read tabs/charts

• Are already familiar with the 12-bar blues form (I’ll review it briefly in Week 1)

• Your thumb falls apart the moment you add fingers — and you’re ready to fix that with a structured approach

• Want to learn the mechanics of the style so you can create variations, not just memorize one tab

This training is NOT the best fit if…

• You don’t know the 12-bar form yet (start with Beginner Blues first)

• You’re brand new to guitar and still learning basic chords

• You want a huge library of songs (we build one complete 3-chorus performance first, then teach you how to keep it going with variations)

Don’t know the 12-bar form yet?

Start with my Beginner Blues Course first — it teaches the 12-bar foundation step-by-step so Delta Blues Training feels fun (instead of frustrating).

If thumb independence is the thing that keeps holding you back…

You’re not alone. For most players, Delta blues isn’t “hard” because of the notes — it’s hard because the thumb and fingers won’t cooperate (and the groove falls apart).

That’s why Delta Blues Training starts with:

Module 0: Thumb Independence Trainer

A short, focused set of drills designed to make Week 1 feel doable, not frustrating.

You’ll learn how to:

• Keep a steady thumb pulse without tensing up

• Add fingers gradually so the groove stays intact

• Use a simple “build-up” approach that stacks skills in the right order

• Lock in your timing with play-alongs before moving up the neck

Good to know: You don’t need perfect independence on day one — you just need the right progression. That’s what this module gives you.

Standard tuning • Late-beginner friendly (if you know 12-bar + basic chords)

What you’ll be able to play in 4 weeks

By the end of Delta Blues Training, you’ll be able to play a complete 3-chorus Delta Blues in A — with each chorus moving higher up the neck — so it sounds like real music, not a disconnected exercise.

And here’s the bigger goal (this is the point)

This isn’t “memorize one tab and you’re done.”
You’ll learn the mechanics behind the style — chord shapes, right-hand picking patterns, and how the 12-bar form holds it all together — so you can:

• Play many choruses in a row without getting stuck

• Create your own variations (without guessing)

• Feel more confident moving beyond “tab memorization” into actual Delta-style playing

The course is inspired by classic Robert Johnson-style ideas in A — taught as a clear, playable method you can build on.

Suggested pace: 30 minutes, a few times per week (self-paced, lifetime access)

How the training works

You’ll learn each part first, then memorize it, and practice comes after — using the play-alongs to lock timing and groove.
Go in order: the skills stack up on purpose, so each week feels more natural.

The 4-week roadmap (simple, step-by-step)

Delta Blues Training is built around one clear goal:
play a complete 3-chorus Delta Blues in A — then understand it well enough to keep going with your own variations.

Module 0: Thumb Independence Trainer (recommended first)
Short drills to get your thumb + fingers working together so Week 1 feels doable.

Week 1: The Big Picture (Form + Chords in A)

• Quick review of the 12-bar map (so you always know where you are)

• The core chords and shapes you’ll use in A

• How the right-hand pattern works so it sounds musical, not mechanical

Week 2: Chorus 1 (foundation)

• Learn the full first chorus step-by-step

• Start making small, controlled variations without losing the groove

Week 3: Chorus 2 (move up the neck)

• Learn the next chorus higher up the neck

• Use the chord shapes as “anchors” so you don’t get lost

Week 4: Chorus 3 solo (higher up + connect everything)

• Learn the final chorus higher up the neck

• Connect all three into one performance

• Learn how to extend and vary the ideas so you can play many choruses in a row

Bonus section: extra tips + a few additional songs
Extra pointers and a few Delta-related songs I’ve taught on YouTube.

Suggested practice: ~30 minutes, a few times per week (self-paced, lifetime access)

Student Example: Week 3 (Real Playing)

Sometimes the biggest question is: “Can a normal player actually do this?”

Here’s a real Week 3 example from a student in the course.

Baptiste (Paris) — Week 3 play-through
He’s playing it carefully and cleanly — not “perfect,” but musical. And that’s the goal: steady thumb, solid timing, and knowing where you are in the 12-bar so you can keep going.

And honestly — I was really happy with his progress here. He’s doing the hard part: staying relaxed, keeping the groove steady, and making it sound like music.

Why this matters: This is what “Week 3 done carefully” looks like — steady thumb, solid timing, and the form staying intact.

"This course not only explains how to play each part, it also explains how to put those parts together to play multiple choruses of 12 bars with intros, variations, turnarounds, etc. so it sounds like a complete song."

"With more practice, you can plug and play to come up with variations of your own, which is good and it's fun. I think this was the most valuable outcome for me."

— Jeff, Melbourne (Beginner Guitarist)

“I wasn’t that great with thumb and finger independence… and this course broke it down.”

“Heath was able to break it down to the very basic side of thumb and finger independence... Once I mastered that, I was able to advance it even further.”

— Todd, Princeton, NJ 

“I’m just playing a song and I didn't really know what I was doing… and now I’m kind of ad-libbing. I can play for 5, 10 minutes.”
“My grandson walked in and goes, ‘Hey, that’s cool.’”

— Delta Blues Training student (playing ~7 months)

“They are really well structured, so you can progress from one lesson to the other.”

“It’s really nice that you can ask questions.”
— Baptiste, Paris (playing ~3 years)

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know the 12-bar blues form already?
Yes — it’s recommended that you already understand the 12-bar form. I’ll review it quickly in Week 1, but if the form is brand new to you, start with my Beginner Blues Course first.

What skill level is this for?
Late-beginner to intermediate. You should be able to play basic open-position chords and read tabs/charts.

What tuning is this in? Do I need slide?
Standard tuning. No slide required.

How much time do I need each week?
I recommend short, focused sessions — about 30 minutes a few times per week. You’ll learn the parts first, then practice after you’ve memorized them (practice works best when you’re not staring at the tabs).

Is this self-paced?
Yes. It’s organized as a 4-week path, but you can go at your own pace. You’ll have lifetime access.

What if my thumb independence is really bad?
That’s exactly why Module 0 exists. The Thumb Independence Trainer gives you a clear progression so you build the coordination first, then stack the course material in order.

Is there a community included?
Yes — you’ll get lifetime access to a community space specific to this class where you can ask questions and stay motivated as you work through the material.

What exactly do I get?
Video lessons, tab PDFs, play-alongs, lifetime access, a class-specific community space, plus a bonus section with extra tips and a few additional songs.
