In this tutorial I talked about how to play a great acoustic blues guitar solo performance. Think about the blues guitar player in the streets of New Orleans or a similar scene where you just sit there with your acoustic steel-string guitar and you want to play blues without any band. That's what this tutorial is about. This tutorial is divided in three parts, first I show an easy theme which is played in the key of A, then I play a simple blues guitar rhythm guitar and show you how to improvise by using the a minor pentatonic and the simple chords which I showed you and at the end I going to give some instructions how you really put things together correctly.

Here you find the standard blues form which is very important to know by heart :

A / A / A / A
D / D / A / A
E / D / A / E

Pay really closed attention of my final notes at the end about timing, rhythm and form.

Really good tutorial HP............thank you!

Yeah this one is for acoustic guitar for once

The summer here in Europe is really warm - a great opportunity to grab the acoustic guitar and go to a lake or river and play some guitar such as this cool tune here.

This blues is great for finger picking. I will soon talk about the advantages of finger picking in our monthly livestream. I will also talk about this tune here and give some additional ideas for this great acoustic blues guitar tune.
