Blue Jean Blues Guitar Lesson (Slow Blues Guitar Licks - Billy Gibbons Style)
If you want to become a great blues guitarist one of the things you will have to learn to play is a slow blues. See often times guitarists are so consumed with being able to play FAST. But the truth is, a slow blues can be just as difficult or more than something uptempo.
Today I want to share a classic example of how this is done. In this post, I walk you through how to play "Blue Jean Blues" as recorded by ZZ Top.
This song is a great slow blues guitar lesson in a 6/8 time signature. We’ll unpack the chords, rhythms, bass lines, and even dive into soloing.

Good lesson thank you but where is the rest of it?

[@SidVictor-s4i]

A count of 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 are eighth notes. 1-ee-and-a-2-ee-and-a-3ee-and-a-4 is how you count sixteenth notes. Anyway. That’s how I was taught.

These are parts from intro and 1st verse and they are no challenge to play for a lead. Where is the rest, where are the real things start???
