DescriptionThis is the second lesson of Duke Robillard's Swingin' the Blues series of guitar lessons. The goal for this series is to transition a player familiar with standard 12 bar blues to more melodic and complex jazzy blues / swing playing. The series first focuses on jazzy blues and swing rhythm guitar to lay a solid foundation and then teaches passing chords, comping, riffing, double stops and lead guitar. The series ends by putting all of the new knowledge to practice in three songs: Swingin' with Lucy Mae, Lester Leaps In and Moten Swing.

In Lesson 2, Duke continues to build on the foundation established in Lesson 1.  The key topics covered are:

• passing chords and diminished passing chords
  
• quick IV change
• lead-ins from a half step below or above
• III-VI-II-V song introduction
