 A letter from the Editor...
The votes are in and you, the readers of PlayBluesGuitar.com, have spoken. While showing favor for all the different editorial departments, what you overwhelmingly like best are the lessons. Heeding your request, we are reconfiguring the site to include a majority of instructional blues material spiced with choice editorial features. Smoking free lessons and opportunities to acquire even more dynamite stuff will abound. I will personally be writing a comprehensive how-to that will cover the history of blues guitar from Blind Lemon to Stevie Ray. Stay tuned and feel the heat. It’s only going to get hotter.
Please feel free to write to me anytime at
info@playbluesguitar.com.
