Are you struggling to learn some Blues songs on your guitar? Do you sometimes wonder why can some people learn a lot faster than you when it comes to playing the guitar? What is it exactly that you ain't doing right? There's always a right way and a wrong way of doing things in life, some people achieve their dreams a lot faster than others because they learned the right way of doing things.
If it's been quite some time now since you've started learning the guitar and still you aren't able to learn as fast as you would have like, then maybe there's something wrong in the way that you are trying to learn your instrument. I am a guitar player myself and here's how I think you should try to learn songs on your guitar (those valuable tips can be applied to any kind of songs that you might be trying to learn, not just blues):
1. Of the thousands of songs that exist in the whole world, there has to be many of them that you really love and some others that you absolutely dislike. That's pretty much normal actually but what I need you to do is, to get a piece of paper and write down the name of 10 of your favorite songs. They don't have to be 10 songs that you believe to be the best in the entire Universe but instead, just 10 songs that you simply like.
2. Once you've written them down, now go do some research on them, go find out what guitar chords do they consist of? Out of the 10 ones, some will be very easy to learn, consisting of only 4 - 5 chords while some harder ones will consist of 8 - 10 different chord progressions. Websites like ultimate-guitar(dot)com, chords(dot)com and 911tabs(dot)com can be very helpful. Once you've done your research, re-arrange your list of songs in a descending order, that is "easiest" song to learn will have be first on the list, down to the "hardest" song to learn last on the list.
3. Your list of 10 songs are ready, so now it's time for you to get to work. I'm hoping that you aren't an absolute guitar beginner but instead, I'm hoping that you already have some knowledge of basic guitar playing. If that's the case, then take your list and start practicing and learning the first song (the easiest one) on that list. Practice as much as possible and don't move on to another song until you know this one completely.
4. After you are done learning the first song on your list, you can move on to another one. Hopefully it should not take you more than 4 - 5 days to learn the songs on the list, however if it does then it means that many of the songs that you have chosen are a bit difficult. In this situation, then you will need to create another list, but this time go look for songs that are easy to play and make a list from that. It's very important that you make a list though, as it will act as a form of reminder so that you don't forget that you have to finish all the songs on the list.
5. Don't forget to practice as much as possible! Don't be lazy by deliberately missing some practice days, try to be serious about it. When you've done learning half of the songs on your list, do go back from time to time to practice again the ones that you've learned at the beginning. You don't want to be spending countless of hours learning something, just to forget it 2 months later.
So here you are! Try to follow this plan and see how quickly you'll be able to learn a huge number of songs in the shortest amount of time. In addition to that, there's a tool that you could use to really really speed up your learning process. This tool alone will considerably boost your guitar skills in no time, seriously you don't want to miss out on that one!
