After 3 years of playin gee-tar, I finally play the blues. I’d always try and try and I could from the beginning except it wasn’t all that good.
Blues is easy. Blues is fun. Playin the blues is something..that has to be done.

I also used a large portion of my life savings (I'm seventeen and the savings didn't amount to much, but were enough). Read how I did it…
How I did it: I studied a lot, went to the public library that doesn't even have an internet connection with friends who talked enough to keep us going but not too much so that we didn't get distracted.
