GuitarZen thought it would be a good idea if I posted what I was workin on regarding playin and stuff.  So, basically, I begin chanching chords between A, G, C, D, E, and minor chords.  Pentatonic, I then go on You Tube to learn a 3 chord song and try to master that.  I wanna learn the Blues soo bad and their licks, so lately Ive been just playin the basic E & A power chords and a turnaround lick

Cavett-..well when you mention the National Anthem and talk about playin it in any unorthodox way, you immediately get hate mail....
Hendrix- I didnt think it was unorthodox, I thought it was beautifull.....but there you go

I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes.

Hey Chancho ,Zen was telling u the rightthing to do and its always a good thing to learn changing(real) chords that is the key .As ive told you befor changing without thought will help you in your endevear(spelled wrong) so just keep playing thos echords and as always if we can help we will,Just ask.

Here's something if yer not applying this already Chancho, while you're noodlin' around in the Pentatonic scale, try starting in the middle and go towards the beginning then jump to the end. Imagine the variations on that theme and guess what...from what i can gather, this is how it's done...some may chime in and agree.

Cheers,

GuitarZen

If you so want6 to learn the blues then why aren't you. Start with the rhythm, keep it a simple 12 bar blues. A for 4 bars E for 4 bars and D for 4 bars. When your ready I'll show you a simple boogie woogie pattern for those chords.
