Re: I can’t find The Blues in my Mandolin
Steve James's books and dvd's (or codes for downloadable music) are also good. Joe Carr's School of Mandolin: Blues is the simplest book out there. If you google "Mandolin Blues Lesson," you'll find many videos demonstrating licks or tunes. Good luck.
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
