The trick with blues is, letting go. You start with a strum and end with a hum. The best blues comes from before the pop-culture period, 40's 50's, and then a little in the 60's. First try looking at what is known as oldies, Chuck Berry. Listen to the early not so famouse Beatles covers. "Rock and Roll Music", "Roll over Beethoven" and "Johnny B Good", are easy enough to find, and are good to get those fingers going. Rock and Roll (the original, and none crappy kind) is basicaly Blues on crack, its faster and crazier. Not to mention Blues Tabs make no sense, I genneraly keep away from tabs unles its a riff, intro or outro.
PS, if its prison blues than, Johnny Cash is lord of that domain.

Re: WILL THERE BE ANYTHING BETTER THAN THE BEATLES (15 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
I don't know if there ever will be a band like the Beatles, because anyone who could even come close would abveousely be effected by them in some way. There is nothing nothing they didn't effect (Maybe Rap or crap like that). They drew songs from their expereince and not from other bands. Every one new is closely watching the music world so they would be ripping off someone else, I can't think of anything that hasn't been done before. "There is nothing new under the Sun".
