REQ: JTC Luca Mantovanelli Blues Fusion Masterclass Intermediate

Luca Mantovanelli shows you how to build on a blues-fused foundation of technique and theory to slingshot your licks and solos to the next level. A deep dive into a genre that isn’t afraid to break new ground.

Pop the trunk of blues fusion dynamite as Luca helps you demystify ideas with the power to open up a multiverse of expectation challenging concepts.

Lock in shape based exercises, phrasing examples, and a number of super tasty solos, and get everything you need to understand blues fusion and be inspired to add your own spin. With a focus on really understanding the power of the modes, you’ll discover the fretboard navigation tools and phrasing approaches that make blues fusion such a unique and enchanting style.

It begins with a modal spotlight. As you memorise Luca’s five shapes, you’ll unlock the ability to work through seven different modes. You’ll then focus on mixolydian ideas with phrasing examples and exercises that transfer a theoretical concept into real contextual playing.

Arpeggios packed with Luca’s much loved, tension packed, superlocrian scale then follow. And after working on both minor and major blues changes you’ll dig into those solos. With funk, classic blues and some shred heavy fusion ideas offered, this is where Luca delivers not only the ideas in context, but also an abundance of licks for you to channel into your own playing.

Includes 8 solos, 79 exercises, 12 slow exercises, 17 backings, PDF study guide, full tab/notation and GP files.

Shred into blues and add feel to fusion with a Masterclass volume that allows you to harness every drop of creative, technical and theoretical thinking.
