  • Often when people learn to play blues, they focus on the chords, the lyrics, the solos, etc., but to me the most important and hardest aspect to teach in this music is the feel. Blues is a feeling. This feeling has many different shades and nuances. There is no one strum or degree of swing, there are many and they tend to be regional and by era. Let's dive into this subject further and see if we can't get a better blues feel in our playing!
    Chords and a bit of TAB here:

    Here are some recorded examples. This is the best way to learn blues, by osmosis. Listen, soak it up and then try to recreate the feel yourself. Play along and put yourself in the band. It is a feeling, right?

    Sounded more like an ending than a turnaround - after a turnaround, one would expect to start again!

      Both turnarounds and endings are based on the same notes except the last one that it either creates tension with or resolves.

    Love this. I’m starting to understand this blues sound. I’m more rock but loving this sound.
    Your demonstration and analogies really make it comprehensible. Thank you 🎶🎸❤️

      Wrong, the turnaround he’s demoing is ALL BLUES. Blues are a massive influence on rock.
      Homework time.

    I’d love to know how you do the turnaround. Newbie here. Love your stuff.

      While this channel is not intended for political rhetoric, I'll leave your message up in the spirit of free speech. If I could do something to further the cause of peace in the world, I surely would, but I don't think that I alone have the power to free Palestine. Best of luck.
