BLUES GUITAR
LESSONS ONLINE
Private 1-on-1 lessons via Zoom with Diego Fonseca — phrasing, vibrato, bending and real blues vocabulary, taught one-on-one and built around the players you love.
20+ years teaching · Students in the US, Canada & Europe · Free 30-min trial
What you’ll work on
Six notes. Everything is in how you play them.
Blues is the hardest style to fake and the most rewarding to get right. We work on the things that actually carry the feeling.
Vibrato & bending
Vibrato that sits in tune and has your own signature. Bends that land exactly where they should, every time. This is where blues lives, and where most self-taught players never get feedback.
Phrasing & space
Solos that breathe instead of run. Call and response, question and answer, and the silence between phrases that most players are afraid to use.
Beyond the pentatonic box
Connecting all five positions, mixing major and minor pentatonic, and using chord tones so your solos follow the changes instead of floating over them.
The vocabulary
B.B. King, Clapton, SRV, Gary Moore, Robben Ford, T-Bone Walker, Billy Gibbons. Broken down phrase by phrase so you can speak the language, not copy it.
Guitar solo performance
Hear it before you decide.
Real technique, real feel — blues and blues rock.
Student results

This is for you if…
Sound familiar?
You know the pentatonic shape but everything you play sounds like an exercise
Your vibrato does not sound like the records and you cannot work out why
You solo over the whole progression instead of following the changes
You have all the notes and none of the feel
You can play fast but the slow, expressive stuff exposes you
Blues punishes bad technique more than any other style, because there is nowhere to hide. The good news is that the fixes are specific and teachable — once someone actually watches you play and tells you what is off.
What students say
Real results. Real players.
★★★★★
“I am reluctant to write an honest review, only because Diego is SO GREAT at teaching that if the word gets out, I won’t be able to afford him anymore. Within a month I was playing cleaner than I ever have. Month after month, no plateaus.”
★★★★★
“I started lessons with virtually no guitar experience. But after only a couple years of lessons with Diego, I’m already able to improvise, solo and jam with friends. He introduces new challenges each lesson without overwhelming me.”
★★★★★
“I am based in the UK and began having lessons with him just after COVID. Having had lessons from a number of guitar teachers during my playing career, I can honestly say that Diego is the best. His teaching is clear, patient, and practical.”

FAQ
Common questions.
Can feel actually be taught?
Yes. What people call feel is mostly vibrato speed and width, bend accuracy, timing and note placement — all measurable and all fixable once someone points them out.
Do I need to play blues only?
No. Most students mix blues with rock. The vocabulary carries over directly — blues is the foundation of almost everything in rock guitar.
Do I need to read music?
No. Everything is written in Guitar Pro tab and notation, and you keep all of it.
What do I need to get started?
An electric or acoustic guitar, a computer or tablet with a camera, and a stable internet connection. Zoom is free.
Is the trial lesson really free?
Yes — completely free, no credit card. A real 30-minute lesson where we work on something useful right away.
