1. The blues are a unique style of playing guitar that digs its
roots deep back into black slavery in America. This unique
form of guitar scales have sense of soul and bellowing
sorrow to them, which is why they're called the blues. If
you want to learn the blues, first you must have a good
foundation in learning the fundamentals in knowing your
basic scales as well as chords.

2. If you want to learn how to execute the blues properly on
your guitar, you must already have a somewhat decent
background in your major scales and have build certain
dexterity with moving your fingertips around like a
sweeping pattern. Practice your speed with all four
fingers, most especially your index and ring finger since
they're used more in blues progressions.

3. If ever in doubt and you have an internet connection,
check net for a pattern on how to execute the blues scale.
If you're having trouble knowing what you're looking for,
a scale is basically a progression of single string plucks on
your guitar that usually starts from the bass strings and
ends with the higher string. If you know the pattern
already, do so first in the regular sweeping pattern then
alternate by inverting it as you climb up to the high bass
strings.

4. The blues may seem completely improvised at a listen,
and in fact - it is, but no matter how improvised it follows
a rigid timing that demands not only accuracy, but also a
knowledge of how to branch out riffs. As you gain speed,
you'll get the general feel of it and you're on your way to
improving.

5. It's amazing that we have internet now, before they had
to dig through song books or listen to music and tabulate
it by ear - now it's easy as a search engine entry. Back
then, musicians listened by ear to read their favorite
songs, now it's different, with nowadays know-how now
you can listen and even watch your favorite songs over
cyberspace.
