3 Reasons Why You Should Learn Blues Guitar

In today's video I am going to give you 3 reasons why you should learn blues guitar! This is a question that comes up pretty often, and so I wanted to make a video about some of my thoughts on why I think musicians should learn to play the blues.

As a guitarist who has played countless gigs, and learned thousands of songs let me save you some time and say if you want to fast track your guitar learning curve be familiar with some blues repertoire. Blues is the common ground between rock, country, folk, r&b, jazz, bluegrass and more. Let's discuss in today's video!

Excellent points and explanation on the Blues 12 bar progression. It is definitely a good starting point (vehicle :), if your wondering where to begin with your lessons.

My favorites are SRV's Tin Pan Alley and Hendrix's Little Wing

Love the Maton tshirt! Where can I get one? I have the TE, so no keyhole headstock, but I'd still love to have the shirt. Love your stuff. Learning a lot from your blues course!

back to the roots, where it all started. ✌💕👍 not only to robert johnson, but to whom he listened, and by wohm was influenced. i really don t believe in that crossroads nonesens. robert johnson travelled a lot and he heard all styles of music and he combined them, and came up with his own style, just like hendrix, clapton, srv etc in other words he was exploring and studying other styles and not copying.

Almost all of modern music contains "blue" notes aka minor thirds and minor sevens. So your right.
The is no modern music without blues.
