Best books to learn Blues guitar, in order
Blues guitar is a language of feel built on a small, deep vocabulary, so build it in layers. Start with the 12-bar form, basic rhythm, and the minor pentatonic box, then work through licks, phrasing, string bending, and vibrato, then soloing over changes in every key. A method that pairs theory with backing-track practice teaches the touch that tab alone can't.
