[Harp-L] Anatomy of blues jam

[philharpn@xxxxxxx]

Here is a link to an article in Premier Guitar Magazine's article "Anatomy of a Blues Jam" which may offer a few tips about how they work from the perspective of guitar players. As I recall, they are the guys running most of the blues jams, so it might be helpful to get inside their heads.


Also, on one of the pages, there are a series of guitar chord boxes. Check out the names of the chords in the progressions: for a few tips on which way some tunes may go.


Also, for the more adventuresome, check out the shapes in the guitar boxes for some clues about what chords the guitar player is playing. Not all guitarists will use these chords -- but some of them may pop up and if you recognize them, you'll know which chord he is playing.


hope this helps
Phil
