Description
In this week’s guitar lesson, you’ll learn a fun and easy (relatively speaking) Delta Blues composition that you can play by yourself on guitar – no jam track needed! This uses repeatable licks and the open E string!

I really like the lesson covering both major and Minor !!
A simple structured approach to Delta Blues, thanks Brian 🙂 happy weekend again.
Wirklich sehr gut.
Echt super. Danke
Perhaps easy to find the notes but not as easy to find the feel. Perfect porch set list.
Very cool, since I live in the Delta.
This will be lots of fun and force me to come up with some new licks to use with it. Don’t you have the label saying Major and Minor reversed?
Download tabs problem anyone?

Fun lesson.
Great lesson, love that sound
Fun lesson, it shouldn’t take too long to learn as the fingers glide along with each step. Can see this as a staple for the porch, playing on repeat. Easy, but sounds so good and classic. Such a good idea to have major and minor versions. A really nice way to bundle the Delta fundamentals in a easy and user friendly way and with your speciality in breaking down a complex genre to bite size pieces.
No prob now!
Hello.
This lesson goes pretty well with lesson EP 511.
It’s always interesting, Reminds me RL Burnside ,or JL Hooker.
Thanks
Joe
Brian, a perfect guitar lesson, thank you.
For me this is achievable in a week.
You spoil us by giving us so much great stuff each week.
I am a very average punter playing guitar but I dearly love it but cannot possibly work through your full lessons each week.
Would you consider doing a Micro Lesson every other week which might complement the full lesson (as this one does for me).
Again, many thanks for sharing your extraordinary gifts.
I really like that recommendation there Paul, as I am in the same boat. Too frustrating to tackle all it in a week. I let the ones I like less just fall on the floor
I really appreciate the addition of a minor key variant – it makes this two microlessons for the price of one.
Hi Brian, and every one.
Very cool lesson.
Easy-to-handle technics for a good appraoch of the delta blues.
Be careful : the slow walkthrough minor is labelled major, and the major one is labelled minor.
Have a good week.
Regards
Good catch, he could fix that easy enough once he see’s your post.
Exelente.
I love this kind of blues! The subtle variations you show along with the walk-up to the A7 and second turn around make this a forever keeper!
Great lesson Brian. I’ll take acoustic delta blues lessons anytime.
Great stuff .
Question
What all in one effects for solo singer /performer for a ‘one person band’? Chorus , looper, percussion fill, ??? Best choices ? Thanks
Enjoying…..
I appreciate a lesson like this! Yes it’s basic, but the structure and organization helps so much. Being well into my 70’s and struggling it helps to have a “victory “ every once in a while! Being new to the group (month or so) I’ve already learned much more than I had from another online service I have subscribed to…many thanks Brian!
Excellent. Just what I was looking for. And very well explained. Rod.
Great lesson, as usual. Thanks. Can you please explain what we are meant to do when you see XXX one x on top of the other? I believe it might be a “double stop” or a muted A chord, but I’m not really sure how to play it?
It’s a muted strum
Am bookmarking this as a favourite, this is the one I want to nail
So much blues, awesome! It’s a great summer to enjoy the blues, love these solo performances
Excellent lesson. Love it so much. I notice that in the minor version , you don’t bounce from the 1 chord to the 4 chord like you do in the 3rd measure of the major version. Is that a “rule” for minor progressions or just your personal choice at play? Thanks for the lesson.
Great arrangement with some very cool licks.
I had a thing, so got to this lesson a week late. Sheer fun, easy as you say, but some great moves to incorporate into playing. Love those Delta blues.
Hey Brian… another beautiful lesson….For the minor key I think I am hearing the G on the high E string but cant see you put your little finger down… are my ears deceiving me?
Love Paul.
