Truefire Rob Swift's Blues Soloing Unlocked [TUTORiAL]

Crafting a great blues solo isn’t just about running scales – it’s about telling a story, playing to the changes, and expressing real emotion. In Blues Soloing Unlocked, Rob Swift gives you the tools to craft solos that connect directly to the harmony – unlocking a deeper, more musical approach across some of the most iconic blues styles.

You’ll work through five soloing studies rooted in classic genres like country blues, jazz blues, and Chicago blues – building your soloing vocabulary and learning how to create lines that sound authentic, melodic, and full of character.

You’ll learn how to:

• Solo through the changes with harmony-based phrasing
• Choose and apply scales that fit the chords and the feel
• Use phrasing techniques inspired by B.B. King, SRV, and Clapton
• Visualize the fretboard using the CAGED system
• Confidently solo over a wide range of blues grooves

Each study starts with a deep dive into the chord progression, then walks through the relevant scale choices, phrasing strategies, and a full solo breakdown. You'll play everything in context with jam-ready backing tracks designed to help you find your own sound.

And with TrueFire’s interactive tools - synced tab, slow-mo, looping, and fretboard animations - you can lock in each concept at your own pace.

“If you’ve ever wanted to craft blues solos that truly fit the changes, this course is for you,” says Rob. “By the end, you’ll have a solid framework to build solos in a wide range of styles.”
