Dig into just half of these, and you could rock a blues club like a full-timer. You'll have your pick from many different kinds of blues tunes and styles. For example...

Playing these tunes virtually guarantees you'll develop mad blues chops, plus you'll have a solid list of classic songs everyone can tap their toes to.

You'll love working through these early songs from some of the most popular musicians of all time... and you'll gain a deep understanding of the blues they were built on, and how to write rockin blues tunes yourself.
  • Major, or "sweet" blues - Here's a fresh flavor of the blues -- these "major blues" feel like more like a happy Saturday morning than a hard-driving Friday night. These songs have gorgeous chord progressions, incredible melodies, and they open up a whole new world for soloing.
  • Slide blues and alternate tunings - Most of this collection is in standard tuning, but there's a few must-know open tunings that are famous in the blues. I'm usually not big on alternate tunings, but these are super easy to use and you'll get the legendary sound of guys like Muddy Waters and Elmore James.

You're going to love some of these essential riffs, patterns, and chords from great blues songs, and you just can't find such a collection anywhere else. You'd have to get wasted with some old blues guy in Nashville and pick his brain, or link up with someone who's had decades of playing and touring with the pros to get even half of this stuff. Luckily, Jimmy is that guy, and you can learn right from home :)

  • Jimmy shows you a fingerstyle hammer-on riff here using "fat chords." It's a unique way to flavor up your accompaniment on any blues.
  • He'll show you how to start with the melody and then add riffs and licks on the end of each chord. Once you combine each of these elements, it starts to sound wicked good.
Freddie King
Blues Song #50

Badge - Cream

  • This Clapton/Harrisson collaboration has some killer chord changes a nice intro and bass line, and an awesome turnaround/resolving lick in the B section.
  • Jimmy truly makes this one his own. An incredible study in taking the best from the blues greats and making something fresh. You'll see how he does it and be able to rethink many of the songs you know, giving you new ways to play songs you already love.
EXTRA BONUS SONG

Buckets of Rain - Bob Dylan

  • This bonus song has some nice "bluesy but happy" chords. A nice mix of contemplative sweet melody and classic "tell it like it is" blues licks. It's another one to trymixing major and minor pentatonic leads on.
  • Jimmy creates a great rhythm with his boom-chuck arrangement. It reminds me of a Taj Mahal style feel, but in true Bob Dylan fashion. What a sound!

The fastest, easiest way to learn classic
blues songs and essential licks.

Back in the day, to learn the good stuff you had to a whiz at reading music, rely on inaccurate or nonexistent tabs, or be lucky enough to find a really good teacher. Now with this collection, you'll have everything handed right to you. You'll see how Jimmy plays these blues songs as he talks you through what he's doing, and you'll have chord charts and tabs to rely on as you go back through it.

Step by step lessons,
plus easy chord charts.

The best part is, you learn it with his feel and groove, instead of trying to pick up the rhythm from a book or a recording. It just doesn't get easier than this to take more than a hundred years of blues magic and "download" it straight into your fingers.

Not Just DVDs... You're also getting
chord charts for the songs, and
tabs for the licks.

When you purchase these DVDs, you'll get 4 discs where Jimmy teaches you each of the 50 classic blues songs on video, plus chord charts for every single song, and tabs for the most important licks.

I love that he's set it up this way, because you can blow through the DVDs and get the gist of it, then go through the tabs to master any of the licks you missed. Once you've done that, you can just roll with the chord charts and use the licks to spice it up as you play these tunes over and over again and come up with your own variations.

There's several bonus songs too, so you're getting MORE than 50 songs, more than 20 rock solid riffs, plus several bonus lessons on open tuning, slide licks, dozens of chords, and a whole new understanding of the blues.

Could these 50 songs be your way
out of "the rut?"

All of us hit a rut from time to time where we feel we're bored or not making progress. But there's an easy way to bust out of any rut, and that's just to start learning something new that you're excited about.

You might never be bored
ever again with your guitar.

Blues have always been the silent backbone behind most of the best music we have. As Keith Richards said, "If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music."

Go through these DVDs, and I promise you: Not only will you have a ton of fun, but you'll also have 50 classic and soulful tunes that will breathe new life into your playing and will keep you inspired for months. Your playing might never be the same again.

Here's 5 things I love about this course:

  1. You'll play 50+ beautiful and bluesy songs and you can add to your song repertoire - FAST.
  2. Jimmy won't bog you down in learning a ton of intricate arrangements that will take months to master -- he's gonna show you the EASY way to play these songs, get em under your fingers, and make them your own. That's what the blues is all about... Having fun, expressing yourself, and playing music you love with your own "flavor" to it.
  3. You'll also see exactly how an experienced bluesman like Jimmy effortlessly can weave together rhythm parts with cool improvised leads. This is the master skill of the blues. Jimmy is one of the only ones I've seen who can explain it simply for you, and he just gives you all his tricks.
  4. You'll get neat, easy to read chord charts that makes things even faster and easier...and some tabs if you want to go a bit deeper into some of the licks. You'll have everything you need not only to play some incredible blues songs, but to put together pro level blues arrangements yourself.
  5. You'll be learning these songs for less than $2 each, meaning you can actually play these tunes from the greats for less than you'd pay to just buy the albums and listen to them. You won't find a better deal on upgrading your blues skills anywhere.

Where else could you learn
these blues secrets?

I don't think you could even find a guitar teacher with half the blues experience or tunes under his belt that Jimmy has, so it's not really fair to compare buying these DVDs to getting a private teacher. But if you could find one, how much do you think they'd charge you to sit down with you and teach these 50 blues songs?

Or even worse... How much time would it take you to google each of these songs, find inaccurate tabs, watch live performances, and try to piece these arrangements together yourself? Your time is PRECIOUS. Certainly worth much more than the $3/hr (at best) that it would take to try to put this together for yourself.

Quite simply, this is hands down the easiest and fastest way to master a great repertoire of blues songs.

Get just these 4 new DVDs,
or pick up all 8 in the series and master
100 classic blues songs for CHEAP!

Jimmy's original Ultimate Blues Song Collection was a huge hit, because he taught 50 of the most important blues hits out there -- everything from Jimi's "Little Wing" to Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Pride and Joy", and many more. If you have that foundation, this new "2.0" DVD set eally rounds out your repertoire of blues, and adds in those extra spicy flavors like delta blues, slide blues, open tuning blues, and "sweet" major blues.

If you already have the first one, then you know it's solid stuff. Add this newest volume today to your personal library. If you don't have it, I recommend picking up the whole enchilada and i'll give you an incredible deal on the next page.

Right now you are at "The Crossroads".
You have two choices...

No, not the "Robert Johnson made a deal with the devil" crossroads but you are at a fork in the road. Here's your options:

1. Continue doing whatever you're doing now and in 3 months from now, you'll probably be about as good as you are right now. You'll look back and scratch your head, wondering why you're in a rut.

Or...

2. You can grab the Ultimate Blues Song Collection, dramatically improve your blues chops while mastering a whole bunch of sweet songs. You'll take your chordal chops, your soloing, and your overall blues power up about 3 levels to the "can't-wait-to-play-it-again" zone. You'll get dozens of fresh ideas and whole tunes you'll love to play over and over again. Your playing will never be "vanilla" again.

This is it, my friend... The Ultimate Blues Song Collection is your ticket to being able to call yourself an honest to goodness blues guitarist.

"Jimmy Dillon is one of the most creative and talented artists of our day. His songs hit home and his playing and vocals make you stand up and lean forward... it was an honor for me to work with him on this brilliant new CD, and there will be a lot of happy fans when they hear it!"

- Chuck Leavell, Keyboardist for the Rolling Stones

"I love Jimmy's down-in-the-bucket blues..."

- Carlos Santana

"Live at the Borderline in London, Dillon's performance was as honest as the day is long. On record he evidences an understanding of the virtues of simplicity. Shimmering bayou guitar, and a soulful seductive voice that pulls the listener in..."

- MOJO Magazine

"On his record, Dillon stretches out musically, drawing from a wide pool of styles and influences. In the solid company of a gang of fellow travellers that include the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton, Dillon shows his grit on the goosebump inducing slide numbers and explores new ground with latin grooves recorded on location south of the border."

- Kevin Mathews, DJ-The LOOP, Chicago

"The Boy can play!"

- John Lee Hooker

"Mr. Dillon Sir, All I can say is, damn, this is the instructional DVD that I have been waiting for. I just received your "Soul Of Acoustic Guitar" last week and I am lovin' every second of it. I have purchased many, many instructional guitar DVD's and your is by far the best. Your video is perfect! You start out slow on each lesson and explain your techniques clearly. Plus, you just have a really great style. I will, without a doubt, purchase any instructional DVD you put out in the future. What the hell took you so long?"

I look forward to more..."

- Bart L. Black
