Cool Blues Licks

There is no better way to learn to play lead guitar than by playing the blues.  The blues will teach you to play with feeling, and if you learn what is going on in the blues you will have a great foundation for every other kind of music, because the blues is the basis of it all.

There are blues jams nights in every city where you can just show up and get some experience, meet other like-minded musicians, and just have a lot of fun.  You don’t have a band? No problem! Just hit a jam and get up there and play the blues!

Every guitar player should have at least a few blues licks in their bag of tricks, at least a few of the standard licks.  And as you practice the blues and get more experience you will develop you own licks, and hopefully your own style.

Hi,

yeah joining a jam locally is a great way to expand your playing and try out new stuff. Look for those open mick nights as well to try out new songs.

It can take some time to overcome to initial fear of playng in public though but keep at it!
