Many people have been nagging me to do a lesson on Bad Blues, a slow bluesinstrumental I recorded in the past. So here it is.
It’s based on the playing of Baby Tate, a wonderful Carolina bluesman, and Lightinin’ Hopkins, the texas blues giant.
Here’s the original version

It’s a typical “monotonic bass” or “dead thumb” blues instrumental with a bonanza of licks and interesting ideas you can use.

So here’s the complete song first, after that I teach the introduction.
I’m in standard tuning and playing in the key of E
Four more lessons, each lesson teaching a verse, will follow.

Here is the link to my previous version

It’s slightly faster than the version I teach

TABLATURE
I tabbed this song out (intro and all the verses) so if you don’t want to listen to my boring explanations
check out my playlist TABLATURE or go straight to
