by Keith P. Graham

Table of Contents

Introduction - Wherein I justify learning theory in the first place and explain exactly what street theory isn't.

What Makes a Blues Song?- Blues is: Same Notes - Same chords - Same beat -Same words - Different Song. A wordy discourse where the author vents opinions.

Basic Theory - Notes, Three little Chords, Circle of fifths, Harp positions.

Blue Notes - Flatten Down the Hatches, The Blues Scale is Coming!

Why Positions - Cross sounds great so why should you learn something that's makes it harder to play the same thing?

First Position - Using Music Theory to find the good blues notes in First Position.

Third Position - Just like Cross Harp, only different.
