Blues Licks in A

I put this together quickly for some buddies on the Acoustic Guitar discussion forum. It's a few tips for beginners. Skip it if it's too basic - if not, I hope it's of use to you. I've posted free music, tab & chords for the main licks in this video at:

UPDATE, June 2010: As I've pointed out many times in response to comments on this video, the basic licks in the video are as old as blues guitar playing itself. They are NOT taken from Eric Clapton's "Change The World". :-)

are your tabs downloadable?



[HenfieldWill]

@MongoBread05 Yup - go to my website, to the tabs page, and you'll find it listed as "Blues Licks In A". :-)

[MrMember12]

you make blues feel like classical music

[HenfieldWill]

@MrMember12 There's a huge difference between demonstrating something for beginners and playing in a "live" situation. Different feel for a different purpose.

[HenfieldWill]

@bevanawai Nope - it's  Martin XC1T. :-)

Mr. Henfield,

Thank yo for all the lessons. I love them.

I think I need your help. I can't make sound as rhythmic as you do for a PART of

the TAB you provide. The other man mention this too.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOOTING UP CLOSE, SO WE CAN SEE YOUR FINGER MOVEMENTS. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE MAKING VIDEOS THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN SEE THEIR FINGER MOVEMENTS, AND YOU ARE STILL LEFT TO GUESS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THANKS.
