Play Song: Action Over Words
Now it's time to play through our song with the band. I highly encourage you to just watch and listen a few times before you start playing along yourself.
I hope you've had a lot of fun learning the classic blues riff, and I really hope you've taken my advice on not getting too hung up on all these definitions. Outside of the world of classical music, so much of the music we have was made by people who weren't schooled in a traditional way, so rule-breaking and non-conformity is a part of the design.
Then add to that a bunch of other non-schooled guitar players and teachers talking about that music and you can see how the language can end up getting confusing and inconsistent. But just remember to always come back to the sound, rather than getting caught up in pointless definitions and you'll be fine.
