Blues Guitar Lessons DVDs: Learn With the Pros

By Ed Oglesby

If you are just beginning guitar, then you have taken the first step towards a very rewarding and interesting hobby. I have been playing acoustic guitar for nearly 20 years, and I can honestly tell you, looking back, I have never regretted the hours of sweat and toil I have put into it. "Sweat and toil?", you ask. Well yes, I'm afraid so.

There are also songs that maybe should not be played. "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton, "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple and "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles are contenders for this list but that probably only applies if your audience is sober.

Don't get frustrated at this point. Take a deep breath and take comfort in that you have made the first step in learning how to practice the guitar seriously. What is that first step? The first step is to...

But be careful, cuz it's easy to pick up bad habits from them. It may be that this pro is a natural like you, but one that didn't take lessons, or spend months and years perfecting his technique. So I recommend you get the Blues Lessons DVD.

Most blues men use E A and B, some prefer A D and E, or G C and D, played in the 7th. Bla bla bla sixth this seventh that augmented this diminished that. What the heck am I talking about?

Dig down, dig deep, find your sadness. You can sing the blues. Blues Guitar Lessons have a golden rule: Get a GUITAR Blues accordion players just don't make it big you know? Ever heard of a blues cellist? Me neither.

These communities bring together a wide array of different types of guitar players, including people with different experience and ability levels. These environments often prove great grounds through which novices can learn more about guitar playing and more advanced players can improve their skills by assisting others. These sites can prove to be win-win venues all around.

To wrap up I would just like to say thanks for reading, and I hope this article helped you understand what it takes to get there. Hard work, patience, and most importantly, a teacher. It's all very well learning from the internet, but the internet can't stop you and say "Hey, that's great, but you might want to look at changing the way you do A, B or C...", neither can it tell you when you are doing something exceptionally well.
