No previous knowledge of the guitar is required, and extended examples are given of each style. The blues style is roughly a hundred years old, and arises from the lives and feelings of the Negro people in Souther U.S. This music encompasses a broad though subtle musical scope. The best way to feel the blues is to listen to and know personally as many blues singers as you can. In my own case, my first night club job was with Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry. Listening to them night after night, I learned more about the form and spontaneity of the blues than any book or record could have taught me
