    Default Statesboro Blues

    A great blues tune by Blind Willie McTell. I can put it together at a basic level in A using 12 bar blues and chords. Id like to find a video lesson so I can improve on this one. I’ve searched with no luck. If someone can direct me, thanks!

    This is not a lesson per se, but it is in the key of A and you can steal some licks from a nice rendition:

    Great tune and an interesting mando rendition. Hard to replicate the deep, rolling, original voice from a 12 string on a Mando.

    Wow, and a NICE rendition it is, too! Thanks for posting this!
    All my life I wanted to be somebody, now I realize I should have been more specific.
