Jam out on this slow blues shuffler. Very cool and laid back. You can almost smell the smokey boozy bar.
I love Jam Tracks and make plenty for myself. Jam Track Adventures is just my way of sharing them with you, free of charge, no strings attached.
Feel free to post a video of you jamming to this track. Just include a link to my video.
Happy Jamming!!!
Hey all,
Not sure if y'all are aware of this but famed American ethnomusicologist, the late Alan Lomax, best known for his numerous field recordings of folk (and blues) music of the 20th century has quite a nice archive of stuff on YouTube.
If you want to get a feel of how the oldskool delta and country blues musicians operated, I highly recommend spending a few hours listening to some stuff from the archive.
I think the world owes Lomax a huge debt for the music he helped to preserve.

PS: No affiliation, I just found it fascinating -- hope you do too.
What are some blues songs I should learn to play that can be played with just a guitar? I want to be able play some songs from beginning to end without the need for a band. It would be awesome if those songs have some licks and chords mixed together.
I play an electric guitar but songs for acoustic are also okay to suggest.

This is not a standard blues progression like the 8,12, or 16 bar blues. But it has a very bluesy feel. You could interpret as an example of British invasion blues rock but I was more thinking modern blues like Eric Johnson for example. So you could just crank up your Marshall but I like to play this track with a more refined high gain sound.
