Article 2 – The Real Truth About Learning Blues Guitar
By Sparksy
I don’t want to get into trouble with some of the guitarists who want you to believe that you have to be super talented to play blues but I'm going to let you in to a few secrets.

Secret number 1 – most blues guitarists are self taught. Oh, I know you don’t believe that, but it’s true. The reason they’re self taught is because formal training is boring as all heck. Trust me, I know. The last thing you want to do is sit down with some teacher learning scales and doing the Mel Bay Method. Don’t ask! It’s a course that all beginning guitarists learned from back in the stone ages. It’s outdated, antiquated and BORING.

But that’s the price of learning the secret.
