    Default Beginner Blues Tune "I Got It"

    I have spent some time creating a new beginner blues video. I wrote a little simple blues tune just for this. Have a look. It's really basic and simple but beginners should be able to pick this up right away and play along with a smile in no time.

    I like. I like.

    Can I expect that anytime I hear something that I'll have to pay to get the tabs to play it? Is that only because it is a song you made up or is that just how it is?

    Soulstress, I have a lot of free stuff on www.dolphinstreet.com - have a look.

    Some things I publish for free, some I charge for. It takes a lot of work/time/effort to produce a decent video lesson that is well planned and executed. Additionally, I also make them available in HD format, and you get both PDF and GP5 files and sometimes a backing track.

    Thanks. I've found that site helpful already with the little bit of searching I've done so far today.

    Spent an hour but I played my first piece of blues. Blues-Scale Lick "9 out"

    Default I've Had It

    The title of this track AND the fact that it is based in the blues AND the purpose of offering it for anyone just starting reminded me of something somewhat similar that brought a smile to my face. I joined my first band (the Saharas) in 1959 - I was in the 8th grade at the time. One of the very first songs we could all play together reasonably well was called "I've Had It" (close enough to your title to make me remember). The band that recorded it was The Blue Notes (although they weren't really playing any blues). Three chords and very few notes later and we were on our way! It really doesn't take much to get started. Thanks for the fond memories.
