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.
