This is a quick overview. I could go into detail with each key, and show more notes in detail that can be added. Just let me know. Basically, if it sounds good to your ear then you should go with it. This style is super diverse like most prewar blues traditions. Enjoy, and don't give up, most things are a struggle at the beginning that is just life, and as you go along it get's better.

  • Thanks for the lesson!! Good thorough explanations, except for maybe instead of "this fret here or this fret here" you could say "e string 2nd fret or b string 2nd fret".

  • that may be helpful. I did this lesson on quick improv style though, so it is what it is.

  • Hey Mike,

    You were wrong a year ago!!! Standard tuning EADGBE is..."Elephants Always Dance Good Before Eating". LOL

    Great Lesson!!!

  • Elephants Are Damn Good Being Eaters...haha I'm sure there is more out there....haha

  • Thanks, that's great. Too bad you cut your eyes off - a bit freaky seeing a talking 1/2 head, but really helpful stuff. More of the same, eh?
