No sound? Flip the ringer switch โ€” iPhone mutes the web on silent โ€” and check volume. Screen stays awake while the band plays.

The 12 bars โ€” this grid IS the song
Where the money notes live (blues scale, full neck)
root โ€” land here blue note โ€” bend it scale
Grab these three chords and you own the night
Feel-player notes

The form: four bars home, two bars up, two home, then the Vโ€“IV walk back down. Bar 12 hits the V โ€” that's the turnaround yelling "one more time."

The curl: the red dot is the blue note. Don't sit on it โ€” bend through it. Buddy makes a career out of the trip between the b3 and the 3.

Slow blues is the hard one. 12/8 means every beat rolls in threes. Play half as many notes as you want to. Then half again.

Call and response: sing a line, answer it on the guitar. If you can talk trash, you can play the blues.
