Depending on your current skill level I encourage you to look at the Blues course & the song catalog.

[quote=TheKraken]I was looking to learn the blues but where to start?

Have a look at this page showing the guided curriculum paths.

I encourage you jump in at Blues 1!

If that's too much or it seems like you are missing skills or knowledge, then go back to Guitar Fundamentals 2 for a quick review.

There are also a lot of other specialized tutorials on blues, so if there's something you are curious about or want to learn more in depth, then just ask!

And of course, have a look at the GT song catalog. There are plenty of blues tunes at all skill levels. And if something is currently beyond you level, the great thing about blues is you can just strum along with the basic chord progression until you can get the licks!

So, work through a course! Find some interesting stuff to learn & practice! And learn songs! Have fun & best of success!
