If you are focusing on Blues, then use things like simple blues rhythms & licks to warm up. they can be from the course. Or they can be things like this.

Blues in E for Beginners

If that's too easy, then try something like this.

Blues Using Barre Chords

Basic Blues Licks

If that's too easy, then start working on this classic blues vocabulary lick!

That's when I would suggest working on material from the Blues courses.

[p]Good deal! At some point you want to work on combining rhythm & lead. I have a whole series of tutorials aimed at this skill.

If that's too easy, ramp it up!

[quote=jasim.hd]And evening time I repeat songs that I've learnt and trying new songs. For example now I have two new ones, Sultans of Swing and Thrill is Gone.

Start learning blues tunes! :) Start with simple classics that have a great iconic rhythm groove & some easy licks. Examples:

Bring In On Home

Ain't That Loving You

Bright Lights

T-Bone Shuffle

Rock Me Baby

[quote=jasim.hd]Time and time again, you have no idea how much I appreciate all your help, Chris. Thank you so much. :)

You're welcome! Hope all that helps. Let me know if you have more questions & have fun diving into the blues!
