In this 1999 session, Son Seals provided an extraordinary personal lesson on how to play tough, no-nonsense blues guitar in a variety of rhythmic settings.

He put his heart into each song segment, which includes shuffles, slow blues, funk blues and minor blues, interjecting humorous anecdotes and practical playing advice for guitarists at all levels of experience. In addition, he was a master at up-tempo shuffles, demonstrating clearly how to pace and build a solo.
