The Blues Guitar

  This is an original fingerstyle blues piece I wrote which I call Down Low Blues. The reason I gave it this name is because much of the melody line is played on the lower strings of the guitar, strings 3 and 4. It also has a slightly sombre feel to it too and this is reflected with the predominant chord in the music being Em. The main section of the music is 16 bars long and is played twice. However, it still has the general structure of a 12 bar blues, just with an extra 4 bars added on. The music is in the Key of Em, is in 4/4 time, and it is a fingerstyle piece where you have to play the bass line of the music with the thumb on every beat of the bar. It is played on a guitar in standard tuning. Below are some tips to help you play this piece, and links to download the tab.
