Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Life by the Drop Tab and Lesson
Life by the Drop is a mean sounding blues, especially on the 12-string. Try this one using the chord shapes instead of just the two-note chords in the video. This is a pretty easy one, but sounds really good.

Guitar Lesson: David Bromberg Teaches Cocaine Blues
Highly Recommended
Here’s Mr. David Bromberg performing Cocaine Blues. Then he takes the time to break it down and teach it. This is fabulous stuff. The rolls he uses are incredible. Notice that his fingers never leave his hands. Take your time on this one. It’s slicker than snot on a doorknob.

Guitar Lesson: Blind Willie McTell’s Statesboro Blues
Highly Recommended
The 12-string guitar in the right hands is like an orchestra. Here’s Ernie Hawkins making it ring on Blind Willie McTell’s Statesboro Blues. The lesson is in three parts. Pay special attention to the low tuning. Compare this with Fred Sokolow’s lesson on the same song in open D. There’s more than one way to skin a cat.
