Re: Recommend some beginner Blues / Jazz Blues Lead Sheets
I've found it helpful to pull up videos of musicians jamming (e.g., Clapton/Marsallis), and either follow or respond to what they're doing. It doesn't matter what instruments they play, I just follow the music.
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."
