THE BLUES CAN BEAT THE BLUES

THE BLUES CAN BEAT THE BLUES

I do my best to address your needs and direct you in advancing at a fast pace. All I ask isafter we develop a comfort zone between us, that you trust me in teaching you and guiding you. Let me take you through the curriculum. This does not mean I don't have an open mind to all your interests you share and bring to every lesson. This is the coal that feeds the fire.

Music is healing. Playing guitar is your personal type of meditation. You are the only one who can talk to your soul.You can beat the blues with the blues just by getting in touch with your own way of learning, feeling comfortable in your own skin. Great things can come from the blues. Center your energy into your guitar when you need that time alone.

In my blues guitar lessons, we learn about the blues guitarists of our past. We studypicking techniques, playing by ear and slide guitar methods to obtain accurate licks, string bends, methods for great vibratos, getting a good sound on fender tube amplifiers, guitar tricks, methods on learning the five blues' scales positions by using trigger licks, phrasing and building up a slow solo and masteringthe turn around for all kind a feelings.

When beating the blues with the blues, the guitar can be your hobby or your profession. Either way, it gives your mind a break. When you are looking forward to a guitar lesson each week, it is constructive and helps you detach fromnegative feelings that may be pent up. Blues is testifying, yes, testifying and

releasing. I have been playing guitar for 38 years. I don't know what I would have done without playing the blues.

I encourage you to come over for a lesson. Bring your acoustic or electric and jam and meet. I promise I can help you advance as a blues guitarist.

Internet lessons are great and there is so much to learn, but nothing beats learning from an instructor face to face. They are observing what you're are doing and how you are interpreting the lessons. That is the magic, interaction is the real deal.

Music brings hope and comfort in the darkest of times, in the after midnight hours. Blues guitar helps you find solace away from

the ups and downs of life.

You will find the roots of the blues in the Mississippi Delta. It is a very poor area and the center of the blues, where it all began and spread throughoutAmerica. Back in the day, they felt the blues in a way we know nothing about. The blues then were songs of oppression and poverty in the south. While our problems today may be for entirely different reasons, the blues idiom will last

forever. Just don't forget to give respect to the ones that first laid it on down for us.

There are a lot of fun blues song about gettin' woman and booze, bar room brawls, and I caught you with my woman. They are the fun side of the blues.

The real root of blues are songs like "See That My Grave is Kept Clean"---a great song by Blind Lemon Jefferson. Led Zeppelin stole a few hooks from that one, and you got to love it. Good for them!

Songs like "I feel like going home". Going home, gettin' relief from that

overwhelming pain, and dying. by: Muddy Waters.Blues speaks of regret and upset but it brings joy cause you testify, itdoesn't neglect the joy in life. If anything it encourages one to find joyand the reason to live on in life.It is such a paradox. It is saying one thing, and kinda feelscontradicting. This is wisdom of life, and living life. You don't knowyour up until your down, and you don't know your down, till your up. Andone day with hope from your God, your ups and downsget closer. Not as high and not as low. The blues can beat the blues.I want to leave you feelin' good with one of my songs.
