Lesson 3: Add Flavor to Your Blues — Make the Riff Your Own

In this lesson, we’re going to spice things up. You’ll learn how to make the riff more expressive by adding a new note, stretching a bend, and muting with your picking hand for clarity. It’s all about learning how to say more with the notes you already know — just like Muddy did.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • How to add an extra note to boost rhythmic feel
  • The “semitone stretch” that adds bluesy tension
  • How to mute with your palm to clean up distorted playing
  • Why adding dirt (distortion) changes how you control your tone
