I want to learn some blues songs on the guitar. I dont listen to the blues so I dont know where to start. I dont care if the overall song is good or bad, Im just looking for some quality guitar riffs. Any suggestions?
my favorite is gary moores ive still got the blues for you. if you can get those riffs, youll have no problems. its not so much the riffs, but the timing and the feel is the thing. theres a song by micheal bloomfield called killing floor. you can download it from limewire. in his solos, which go thru most of the song, almost every basic blues riff is played, and to perfection. i first heard it in 1967, and still am amazed today, of how perfect it is.
Here’s a simple blues guitar riff in the key of A. The main part of this lick takes place between the 5th and 7th fret. If you’ve any questions, email me at guitarlesson@me.com
We’ve all got out top blues sings, but some intros are more memorable / impressive than others. I’m talking about guitar riffs that blow your mind.
Note – you don’t have to love the whole song, just the intro..Let me know yours!
Me:
Little Wing (JH/SRV)
In The Mood (JLH)
Hey Joe (JH)
So Many Roads (JoeB)
Parisienne Walkways (GM)
Hear My Train A’comin’ (JH)
(there’s loads more, but that’s just to get started)
this song is really, really good for the first :20…then its just really good…
and this guy is still known to melt souls with the first six notes…still…
Next step is to learn how to add licks and riffs into the mix. Before you try and play the whole of Clapton’s solo from Crossroads : ), here are a few pointers.
Learn the minor pentatonic scale.
Look up tabs of basic blues riffs. A good source is wholenote.com under Beginner’s Lessons.
There are lots of good book & CD learning courses. The ‘Start Playing’ series by Amsco Publications isn’t bad, and they have acoustic and electric blues mini-courses.
Later, you’ll need a CD of simple blues backing tracks to jam over – many of these mini-courses have these tracks on the CD.
There are more options – check the net, check the bookshops, and practise like hell!
