Course Name
A clear, practical path into blues improvisation.

Build solos using riffs and short phrases
Understand how chords move through the 12-bar form
Develop call and response instincts
Strengthen voice leading and musical clarity
About this course
This course emphasizes listening, repetition, and connection to the recorded tradition. The goal is not just to "get through" the blues, but to understand its structure and language deeply enough to speak it with confidence.
About Kris Johnson
My teaching approach is shaped by experience, not shortcuts. I know what it feels like to practice hard, care deeply about the music, and still feel stuck, because I’ve been there.
Over time, I learned how to teach in a way that respects different learning styles and different nervous systems. Some musicians need to see ideas clearly. Some need to hear them in context. Some need to feel them physically. Most need a thoughtful combination of these things.
Everything I create is designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and care.
