So, I was never a Blues fan growing up, although much of the music I listened to was heavily Blues influenced, without my knowing it. In the last couple of years, I've gotten more interested in Blues, from both a listening, and a playing perspective.
So, from the playing perspective, I wanted to know what a typical Blues tempo would be, and I googled it. The information I was pretty much a definite "from slow to fast." That really didn't help much. I figure I could let my own emotional gut instinct guide me, but what if I have a different emotion response to a song that it should be if I've playing it for someone else?
I'd really like to hear some thoughts on this subject, even though it might seem a little beginnerish. The truth is that I really am a beginner in many things when it comes to the Blues.
