what are some of the more popular easy guitar blues tunes one
should know?
setting up a list for a buddy at work. im sure my list isnt so easy.
i figured sine most of you like blues you could help me set him up a better list with maybe some songs im not thinking of.
so lets start fresh.
ok easy must know blues songs folks, what are they?

Got My Mojo Workin - Muddy Waters .................. Mike

good choice. i forgot about that one myself.

"Spoonful"
by Willie Dixon, covered rather heavy by Cream

"Walk Right In"
(Gus Cannon, Rooftop Singers did a hip folk-rock cover)

"Mystery Train"
(Paul Butterfield, but check out Danny Gatton's version, he can blow away any other guitarist on earth with this song)

"Crossroads Blues"
(Robert Johnson, and catch Cream's version!)

"Seventh Son"
Willie Dixon, but Johnny Rivers does a mean demi-pop version

"House Of The Rising Sun"
(Animals' verion is hot)

"Back Door Man"
(Willie Dixon, but check out The Doors' cover!)


Nuff? And blues ain't even much of this picker's fave genre....

wow now thats a list.
ok are thos etunes easy to learn for a beginner or will he need my help?
some of those ive heard and some i have not.

Does "Crossroads" count as easy?

I was thinking of things like "Mannish Boy" and "You Really Shook Me", "From 4 Until Late"

Mannish Boy from Muddy Waters' Hard Again basically one riff/chord but hard to get the emotion that Muddy and Johnny Winters get from their guitars.
