It is never to late to learn 'dem blues.
Please get a copy of Keith Richard's new book "life" and read it .
Blues is primative. It is from the gut.
A lot of blues musicians say you have to experience tragedy, like your 'ol lady leaving you, getting fired, going to prison... blah blah blah.
I love the blues and if you can make people "forget about the rent that is due"
then as a guitar player, you are doing the right thing.
The format for 12 bar 1-4-5 and a turn-around is easy. The hard part is being
honest.
People can detect a poser a mile away. Blues is the best music for making a
sad man fell good. Learn it.
You don't have to be a black man in coveralls to feel the blues.
I have seen at open mics... really great players get nowhere with the crowd because they just don't "have it".
The great thing about the blues is only the "real deal" works.
You'll know real quick if you got it in you.
Good Luck.
