A couple of videos by Griff Hamlin at Blues Guitar Unleashed has tow videos (free, as far as I know) that break down music chord theory into simple terms - with a real live demonstration.

The B.B. King Blues Box for Blues Guitar

Build a "box" for better blues solos.

In the style of famous Blues guitarist, B.B. King, build this "box" around the root note of the scale in which your song is being played. This provides a good basis for a blues solo over many different songs.



The embedded video is by Marty Schwartz from GuitarJamz (http://guitarjamz.com/blues_scales/) and I am posting it here for my own reference. I need all the help I can get with this venture of learning to play guitar.

Remember: Don't practice until you can get it right - practice until you can't get it wrong.
