Am Strut Solo 1 is a free guitar lesson that will teach you how to play a blues solo over our original Am Strut jam track. Peter Vogl will show you how to use the Am pentatonic scale in the open position, the A natural minor scale, and some outside notes to create a solo. We’ll use hammer-ons, slides, and our right hand to create a more expressive solo. Specifically, we’ll use the thumb instead of a pick to play the strings and add a plucky and funky vibe. Peter will start by walking you through the theory choices and how to play the solo in detail. Next, we’ll practice the whole solo at a reduced speed with a metronome before advancing to playing along with the track. Sign up for a free 7 day trial and access a PDF of the tabs, a downloadable mp3 jam track, and three more solos over this progression.

Should you have your own bass guitar, or does School of Rock provide one?

We understand that you may need some exposure to discover what your instrument of choice will be.

But shortly after your first few lessons, our bass guitar teachers will encourage you to purchase your own instrument for personal use. If a student forgets their instrument, School of Rock does let kids borrow electric bass guitars for rehearsal, but for best results students are encouraged to have an instrument at home to use for daily practice.
