I hope everyone enjoyed the seminar. The chapter markings have been added.
I will also add the blue highlights to the video notation so that it’s easier to follow along with the demonstrations.
Also be sure to listen to lots of slow blues, here’s my Spotify playlist of James Booker recordings: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2K7F2NDS2WVzIrjB1USjj9?si=69e0d89d57494070 – this isn’t an exhaustive slow blues playlist by any means, but it has helped me to develop an appreciation for the rhythmic nuances of the style.
If you have any questions with the material I covered in the seminar, just let me know.
Talk soon, Hayden

Great seminar. I’m out of country without a keyboard for 5 weeks so I’m overdosing on the blues courses, which are a great weakness of mine. I’ll go over this seminar again in significant detail when I can follow it along on my keyboard. Cheers.
