The Korena take
A method book for learning blues guitar from the ground up. For players who can already form basic chords and want structured blues instruction.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitarists who know open chords but not blues phrasing
- Self-teaching players who want a sequenced curriculum, not scattered lessons
- Anyone building a foundation before learning solos by ear
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners who have never fretted a note
- Players who already improvise comfortably over 12-bar changes
- Anyone wanting a specific artist's songs rather than technique

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read music to use this?
Blues guitar books of this type generally teach through tab alongside notation, so you can follow the fret numbers without reading standard notation fluently.
02Is this for electric or acoustic?
Blues technique here applies to both. The material is about phrasing, chord forms and the 12-bar form, none of which is instrument-specific.
03Will this teach me songs?
It is a method book, so expect exercises, progressions and technique studies rather than a track list of famous recordings.
04How long before I can play blues?
That depends on your starting point and practice time. Players with solid open chords typically work through a book like this over several months.
