When musicians get together to jam it’s customary to begin with an instrumental blues to warm up and if you want to participate then you will need to know at least one blues “head”. A “head” is just the main melody of the song and normally played through twice, which is then followed by solos from the various players before returning to the head for the completion of the song...........You can download the full lesson (pdf file - for your own personal use) from here.

I hope you enjoy the lesson.
