Hi Jon for the life of me a have sooooo much trouble with muting strings and staying in rhythm.
I just can't make it sound right.
Thanks for these blues lessons. They are great. However I think you mentioned a penultimate B7 chord at the end of the turnaround but didn't say how to play that. Am I right?
