Slowing down songs is another great way to learn from records and your song collection. I use Song Surgeon, which works really well for this. Check it out.

Guitar Lesson Overview

This blues lick is in the key of A. Maybe call it one of my "Signature Blues Licks", since I have noticed I tend to play blues licks similar to this one quite often, without thinking about it.

This blues lick works really well over a blues with "quick changes" (1st bar A7, 2nd bar D7, 3rd bar A7, and so on). Let me know how you like this one!

Swing Blues Lick Tab/Notation in PDF & Guitar Pro 5

Download Guitar Pro

I highly recommend you buy Guitar Pro - it's the best software I have found for learning guitar. Many of my lessons come with Guitar Pro files. You can download a trial version on the Guitar Pro website to see if you like it (I think you will).
