The Sound of Modern Blues Guitar

This event analyzes the modern blues guitar sound of artists such as Joe Bonamassa, Eric Gales, and Josh Smith. The focus is on their characteristic playing techniques, tonal material, and licks that define their unmistakable style. Through practical exercises and live demonstrations, similarities and unique aspects of these musicians are explored and immediately applied.

Participants bring their own guitar—acoustic or electric—and implement the techniques presented in interactive sessions. Amplifiers are not required. The seminar is aimed at advanced guitarists and is led by Eduard Wührer, who has an in-depth understanding of blues and its representatives. With numerous examples and collaborative work, the sound of modern blues becomes tangible.
