Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, there is nothing wrong with the instruction, and I like the music! It is probably just my skill level at the moment. Absolute beginner level bored me a bit, and there didn't seem to be any Blues songs in that category. The next step up (2 guitar difficulty) seems a quantum leap. I seem to be in between there somewhere.

I know there are good sounding slower Blues numbers out there. I'm just a little surprised none of them appear on the list at GT, and I think they would be a good bridge from lessons to song playing.

Well, I guess they can't fill every niche requirement ehhh! I'll just keep on trying.
