Lesson Guide - Happy Blues
Any questions - just ask
John’s notes;
This tune is a upbeat ‘jolly’ Blues with a typical
‘Rag Time/Shuffle rhythm. Blues tunes can be
happy as well as sad !
This arrangement prepares you for learning the
‘Blues’ style which is the origins of all western
modern music, and still going strong today !
This is a typical blues ‘stand alone’ guitar
arrangement (no backing accompaniment). So I
highly recommend using a metronome. The
target tempo is 125 bpm but if you find this
difficult learn each phrase at a tempo you can
comfortably manage and work to build up the
speed. Achieving accurate timing is essential.
