ABOUT ME

How I got started teaching guitar online

Hi, I’m John W Tuggle, and back in 2008 I created this site to show students how to improve their blues and slide guitar playing.

After 16 years of live playing and teaching private lessons, I wanted to show the world the lessons I felt would help them better understand how to play improvisational blues and slide guitar.

I believe anyone can learn how to play the blues; it also becomes much more gratifying when you can play the things you want on the guitar.

What Members of the All Access Pass are saying…

John’s courses and lessons have guided me from a relative beginner to a gigging musician

When I discovered Learning Guitar Now I quickly realized it was exactly what I had been searching for, and I’ve never looked back. John’s courses and lessons have guided me from a relative beginner to a gigging musician and member of three bands. The courses cover every aspect of blues guitar and include so many great tips and important insights that will improve your overall musicianship. Purchasing the LGN All Access Pass is simply one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

He covers all the great blues and rock guitarists

LGN is an incredible resource for anyone wanting to get better at playing the blues. Working through John’s lessons will get you better at improvising, help with techniques like bending, slides, raking, and vibrato. He covers all the great blues and rock guitarists and some that you may not have studied previously. I highly recommend the All Access Pass to anyone who loves playing guitar!

This is an AMAZING place to learn blues and blues rock guitar!

This is an AMAZING place to learn blues and blues rock guitar!
I came here without any knowledge not just in blues guitar but in guitar in general, and now after less than 2 years I can play rhythm, solo, improvising and gigging with other musicians! And not just playing also understanding the essential theory music for that.
By the way, you don’t need to wait for 2 years :), I started to play my first solo after 2 months!
The courses and lessons are very well structured, and John is an awesome teacher and mentor. Doesn’t matter what level you are, it will always be something you can find to learn, if it’s a whole course or detailed song lesson, techniques.
Interactive tabs very help, you can slow it down, choose specific pieces, and much more. The breakdown of the song and especially how John describes the licks and techniques are super helpful as well.
I would like to say HUGE THANKS to John for helping me progress and to get to the point where I’m right now as a guitarist and a musician. Please keep doing these lessons and share your knowledge and music with us!
