Blues Guitar Lessons

Ft. Lauderdale and Miami master guitarist Dyce Kimura is proud to announce that he is now available to teach blues guitar lessons in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. “I connect with blues because I feel it is the most primal genre. I can play proficiently in pretty much any style, but blues allows me to be who I am. And every genre sounds better with a little (or a lot of) blues guitar in it. The guitar’s open strings in standard tuning even naturally suggests a blues sequence in the key of A. When modern music began in the 1800’s all we had was blues. Modern music came from blues. We must all come to understand the blues to understand what we came from and how anchor us into the future. My blues influences are Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Eric Clapton and I bring all of this in my blues guitar lessons from Fort Lauderdale and Miami.”

“Here’s is a video of me teaching a 12 bar blues turnaround in the key of E.  I really demonstrate how to use licks and timing to authenticate the blues feel in my playing.”

Jimi Hendrix took tradition rock and blues chord progressions much further.  The chords stylings from his epic “Little Wing” can now be seen all over country, rock and modern blues as well.  This style of playing is paramount for a passionate student of the guitar to emulate because it truly reflects on the players comprehension of major and minor overtones inside of chord movements. My ability to play in this theme is demonstrated on my rendition of “Little Wing.”

Stevie Ray Vaughan was another one of my childhood guitar heroes. He really showed me how to rip into guitar solos and he demonstrated so much passion for his need to articulate his emotions and subtle voicing to his audiences. I especially learned from SRV how to create a really good tone on the guitar and the importance of using heavy gauge strings and the right amplification. Pedal, amp and speaker modifications are some of my favorite activities and is often a topic of discussion among my advanced students. SRV also too the chord voicing’s of Hendrix the the next level and I enjoy expounding on this theme in class to these students and share similar interests. Eric Clapton was paramount in my guitar development because he showed me how to incorporate all the extremes of guitar playing into extremely palatable pop and rock playing.

Clapton’s chord structures, arpeggios, and guitar solos have been a staple for myself in understanding modern blues and pop and rock and has also heavily influenced my other heroes like Slash and Joe Bonamassa. To really understand modern guitar playing it is so insightful to learn about the origins of guitar playing and how the styles of music have developed over the last 80 years.  This is a perspective which I share in my guitar classes to those student who express interest in learning modern guitar trends as well as their different stages of expression over the last several decades.
