Take the modern soloing concepts of American blues and British blues — blend that with the rhythm and tone of the early electric blues era of Bo Diddly, Willy Johnson, and Howling Wolf — and you have what Jim Oblon calls RetroActive Electric Blues.
“Jim Oblon is one of those rare talents—a jaw-dropping guitarist, soulful singer, and compelling writer. On Jim’s first solo guitar record, Sunset, his virtuosic Telecaster-driven blues chops, and vocals shine on a set of originals, vintage rock & roll, and country blues, all delivered in a neoclassic organ trio setting comprised of Jim Keltner and Larry Goldings. Oblon gained national attention as guitarist, drummer, and vocalist in Paul Simon’s band. Always a believer in the bigger musical picture, he aims to expound upon the legacy of his forbearers without ever becoming an impersonator himself.”
We’re thrilled to welcome Jim to the family with his first TrueFire course, RetroACTIVE Electric Blues. You will likewise be thrilled as you play your way through this remarkable learning journey with one of today’s brightest guitar talents!
”There are a few ways to approach a tradition. We live in a time where the electric guitar is close to seventy years old. There is a rich history of guitar players from this country and abroad who have invented and reinvented the approach to this instrument.
My hope for this course is to approach the electric guitar to make it a living tradition, and not a tradition that lives it’s life in a museum. My wish is to use the guitar as a vehicle for self-exploration and a way to creative freedom. This can be done by looking to the past for inspiration and ideas, but also allowing room for your unique voice to shine. Let’s harness electricity and get started with RetroACTIVE Electric Blues!”
Jim organized the course into two sections. In the first section, Jim presents 11 essential concepts and techniques: Fingers vs Picking, Fingerpicked Licks, Chords 1: Bell-like Inversions, Chords 2: 12-Bar Applications, Chords 3: Minors & Passing Tones Chords, Chords 4: Power Clusters, Replace Roots with Nines, Soloing Over Changes, Guitar as a Rhythm Instrument, South Indian Polyrhythms, and Applying Polyrhythms to Guitar.
In the second section, Jim presents 7 soloing performance studies over a variety of feels and keys to illustrate how he applies the concepts and techniques covered in the first section. Jim performs the solos over backing tracks and then breaks them down emphasizing the concepts and techniques being applied.
Jim will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way.
You’ll get standard notation and tabs for each of the licks. Plus, Jim includes all of the rhythm tracks for you to work with on your own. In addition, you’ll be able to loop or slow down any of the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace.
Grab your guitar and let’s get RetroACTIVE with Jim Oblon!
