M.T
Note:All the years i/ve been teaching,guitar i could,
never teach a student to play a blues line with fealing.
Anybody can play a blues lick ,but with fealing no.
There's an old saying in playing blues you gotta pay your dues.And i payed mine years ago.
Exsample:Bad things growing up that happened to you,
like loseing your first girl friend ,your parents ,
getting put in prison,ect ect.
I/m not saying you have to go out and rob a bank .
But to play the blues with fealing i would say something,
had to happen to you in your life time that hurt you,
so much that it made you start playing from the heart.
