[A#] [D]
[Em] [C]
[E]
[A]
[Bm]
[C#] [F#] It's an amazing [A]
musical [Em] endeavor to take up is the blues.
You know, [B] for a music that [E] seems so simple in form, almost too simple for [A] people to comprehend
sometimes, you know, like [Bm] one guy just with one chord like John Lee Hooker or something,
[E] you know, he just bang away [A] on one chord, you know.
[B]
And that [G] alone can make it seem like it's really simple, but it's pretty deep, it's
[A#] pretty hard to play, [C] I think.
[G] I think it's hard to play well.
It just puts it where it's at, you know, it's healing, it talks about it, [E] it's not afraid
to look at [D] the dark side, but it doesn't dwell on the dark side, you know.
[G] [D]
[G]
[D] B.B. King is a [G] master, you know, I consider a blues master as somebody that can put it
all [D] into one note.
[B] That's what I consider the absolute ideal.
[E]
About half the show I'll be wearing a thumb pick, which [Bm] will give me the [N] sound of a pick,
but I'll also be using these fingers as well.
I just found [B] out when you don't use a pick, you can get more varieties of tones, right?
[C] Like,
[D] [Cm] [Am]
[A]
[Am] [A]
I just found you can be more personal with your [Cm] tone, make it more like your own
voice because your fingers are sort of a unique [A] part of you [C#] per se.
[D]
Flamenco is a style of guitar [G#] that doesn't, they don't use picks either, they just use
their fingers, [D#] right, and their fingernails.
So one thing I learned was a rejeo, it's called rejeo, and [C] it's just like [A] a little flip you
do with your hand, you go [E] up with your thumb, down with [C] your two fingers, down with your [B] thumb.
So it goes like this.
[E]
[A]
Right?
So [D] sometimes when I'm playing, I'll be playing like a rhythm [E] like this, you know, [Gm] [Am]
[A] [E] [A]
[E] [A] and it
just gives a percussive sort of [A#] individual sort of style, you know.
[B] [E]
[A]
The country blues guys were their own one-man bands and [Em] they did a lot of lead rhythm [C] and
they'd also [C#] maybe do like a chunky kind of [C] rhythm that I [A] get into too, something like,
you know, [Em]
[E] [Em]
[A] sort of like [B] a train thing, you know, I do a lot of those kind of things.
[A]
A lot of the greatest, you know, well-known Texas guitar players adopted their styles
from horns like [Bm] Gate Mouth Brown and T-Bone Walker,
[G#] and that was, that added a really
interesting element to the way they played because they [A] would play like horn lines on
a jump tune or something, [C] you know,
[A] and play off the horns, you know.
[N] But Texas blues was also, you know, more the country [B] blues style was more like [C#] Lightnin'
Hopkins, which was [F#m] real, you know,
[B] real as low down as it got, you know.
[E] And I think, you know, some of the best stuff you can learn [C#] for guitar is the Robert Junior
[G] Lockwood and Louie Myers stuff, you know, [B] and they backed up Little Walter for chess
records, and I mean, some [Cm] of that is some of the greatest, you know, if you just want
to learn [G#] basic blues, that is the best stuff to go to [A] because it teaches you how to play
the rhythm and the lead, so there's two guitar [B] players then working [G] together, you know, one
on top, one on bottom, and they switch back and forth, right, because one would be [Em] doing
like, you know.
[D]
[G] [E] [A] And the other one would be going, you know.
I think if you know how to play the blues, you can go anywhere musically you ever want
to go, if [E] you want to go to folk or jazz or [B] anywhere because you've learned how [C#m] to access
that [E] real basic [B] feeling and emotion, and [Bm] [E] you can't necessarily go from every other form
and know how to play blues.
