Hey, what’s up you guys—Marty Schwartz here with Marty Music, and I’m super stoked to bring you this Inspired by Clapton blues guitar course! If you’ve ever wanted to play with more feel, more fire, and more soul, you’re in the right place. I’ve packed this thing with 40 chapters of my favorite licks, phrasing ideas, and classic Clapton-style techniques that’ll help you express yourself on the guitar—without getting lost in theory or feeling overwhelmed.

Whether you’re brand new to blues soloing or just want to sound more like you when you play, I’ll walk you through step-by-step in a fun, relaxed way that keeps it real and keeps it playable.

Why This Course?

Most blues lessons either go way too fast or skip the “why” behind what makes something sound good. In this course, I break everything down in a way that makes it easy to internalize, easy to repeat, and even easier to start using in your own playing right away. And we’re not chasing perfection here—just five minutes a day is all it takes to start making progress.

Your 3-Step Blues Journey:

1. Watch the Lesson – Play along or just take it in

2. Loop a Lick – Focus on one small phrase at a time

3. Jam and Explore – Build your own sound using what you’ve learned

From Me to You:

This whole thing started because I just locked in on Clapton for several months—just listening, jamming, absorbing—and then teaching what inspired me most. These licks helped me play better, and now I’m passing them on to you. The real goal is to help you find your own voice through these ideas, and just have more fun playing guitar.
