Blues Is More Than Notes...

It’s Feel.

Anyone can memorize scales or patterns. But real blues basslines come from the feel behind the notes, how you place them, how they move, and how they breathe.

In 30-Day Blues, Ernest Tibbs helps you internalize that feel one day at a time. You’ll learn how to connect rhythm, harmony, and emotion, so every note you play grooves naturally.
