Since it is short notice before your lesson, you should check youtube for some blues guitar lessons. Just search that and you’ll find some help. Good luck.

Hello,,check out the best of “Chess Records” they have a box set of old blues,,1947 -1967,,real cool.

Here’s a great resource I found on the web, has the recordings, and the notation with tablature, I use this with my students.

Also, here’s page 1 from my parent directory of a “G” blues scale.
http://kingfreeze.guitarbrain.com/blues%20scale%20pg.%201.jpg

Play the scale from the lowest to the highest note and back, to a metronome (found free online) use alternate picking (up-down-up-down-ect.)

The blues scale is spelled 1-b3-4-b5-5-b7
the blue notes are b3-b5-b7.

In the diagram, the circled notes are the target notes, since in this example the circle is on “G” it is a G blues scale, the scale can be played in any position on the neck, so it is in fact a movable scale. Start with the first on the page, as it is the most common and easiest, good luck….

Just a thought

You might want to go back and listen to some Paul Butterfield Blues Band stuff,
they were one of the first to “bridge” the old Chicago Blues style with the new.

they still had an old “feel” to their blues…

Elmore James has a tab book that is buried under my stack. I suggest you check Mel Bay’s catalogue as well as Alfred. T-Bone Walker is really good and probably the inspiration for most of the guys that followed him. Good luck.

If i could help i would. You see I’m self teaching myself Buying books and of the net I’m 39 Yrs. old this is my first time playing and have the faintest idea what I’m doing but to me it sound’s good so far.I’m trying to learn classic rock and blues so if you get anything on this let me know.

Muddy Waters actually said that he didn’t know anything about “all them notes and chords and stuff, I just plays what I feels”

Relax a little and chill. Guitar is the best thing in the world for anything that ailes you.

The lead player in my band is 52, the bass player is 53 and I’m 41. It’s all about the fun of it.

Best advice I can give you is to take it slow and don’t get upset, it’s not as easy as it looks. Trim your fingernails, stretch out your arms and shoulders, always look up, face the crowd, learn how to light kittens on fire without remorse, and turn that sucker up to 11!

Try the URL below in the ‘Source’. This guy Justin has a great website, too.

I’ve learned a lot off of watching lessons on You Tube, just type in artist name followed by the words guitar lesson, you might be suprised,
